I think that long a bike ride is too much for me. :drama:

Same same on a bike..

I've slept on picnic tables.. you can a pack a moto-camping tent and stay at campgrounds or rest areas. or just on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. They even make a tent now specific to this, even has a "garage" that you can keep your bike out of the weather, and away from prying eyes.

You can drive as little or as much as you like.. and set up camp for the night.. Explore the local area from there.. or just sleep, eat and relax..

There's an entire group of people out there that do just this all the time, and specailty supply companies out there that make items just to ensure your comfort.

See if you can rent a toy hauler. Maybe not cheap, but if you total up all the other options, it might be reasonable. That way you've got a space to sleep and a place to put the bikes and gear.

Me, I'd drive the RV.

You can stop and go anytime you want during the day or night, and you can leisurely travel, seeing all the sights (like the worlds biggest ball of twine, Iowa's largest Frying Pan, The Mall of America, Stonehenge 2, Fossil Cabin or the Smokey Mountains park) and drinking up all the Americana that's available between here and there.

Tell Tom's brother to come here and spend a few days riding the Skyline Drive/Blueridge Pky and hit all the overlooks on the southbound side down to Deals Gap.
Ride the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway, play tourist and get some Dragon T-shirts, pins, patches, stickers and a hat then take a few days to ride home and hit all the northbound side overlooks.

Tom rides circles around me in dirt. His brother rides circles around Tom while Tom is riding circles around me. However, they do NOT ride street not no way, not no how.

Depends on the trailer.. Brother has ben towing a Uni-Go (leans with the bike) for over ten years, NO issues.. and a bike as heavy as yours shouldn't be an issue.

Anything over 7 hours I fly anymore....I'm starting to hate driving...

That's funny. I am going the other way. I LOVE flying, enjoy the heck out of it and I used to not much enjoy driving much further than a couple hours. Now, I DESPISE going to the airport, the searching, the lines, the whole freaking thing, not to mention baggage checking and retrieving and I pretty much enjoy driving. I went to NYC and back yesterday. Little tired but, all things considered, pack your bags, have all your stuff with you, I can see doing 700-800 miles in a day.

I would rather drive any day. Half the fun is seeing all the sights along the way. Back in 2002 we did a trip out west and back and drove 8000 in 8 days. We went to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Hoover Dam , the Four Corners, Mount Rushmore etc. We had an awesome time and have lots of unforgettable memories. The only time I would consider flying would be if I was going to one place in particular and just wanted to hurry up and get there.
