Rick that sounds like a PLAN!

Ron, we'll see how things progress - maybe we'll hit SoCal then up the coast to Sfran. That's sounding like a plan.... we'll see how this goes.

Barry, it is only a little over 1,000 miles to your place, so a day ride.

Two or three days from Colorado to California. That would be enjoyable. I rode from Charleston SC to Los Angeles in four days on a Honda CB700SC. Brutal.....

Brutal :o I guess if you had four days of rain or you took the Interstates , I know you must have enjoyed that ride some :think:

The ride of my life was NW Washington to Southern Cali through the deserts diagonally to NY mostly on secondary roads :D :D did the coast to coast run three times GS750 :D :D :D :thumbup:

Wow, none of you guys want to ride your H2's? I rode my hot rod H2R derived, now stolen, street H2 all over the place. One year, from Whittier, Cqa, to Laguna Seca, one day, then, to Sonora, Ca, then back to Whittier, 3 rides, and to and f4rom motel and race track, NO issues. From Sonora to Whittier, 9 - 1/2 hours.

Longest ride on the same H2, Cypress (Los Angeles) to Jon Cornwell's house, Halton Hill, Ontario, to Shannonville race track every day of the races there, and back. The thing never gave me one bit of trouble, was comfortable, and ran like a 'highly excited' ape. All it asked of me, was K2 engine oil, and top grade fuel.

Of course, mine had tight piston clearances, which stops most of the vibration that some experience when their bore clearances are totally worn out, or too large, and my crank was straight. That bike was a 1973, did not have rubber engine mounts, never cracked a mount, nor any other frame problem.

I don't know why others don't care to ride their bikes, I enjoyed/still enjoy the heck outta my H2's.
