Idaho Family Seattle and home

[Explorer]

Well it looks like I will be taking a trip up to Idaho (Caldwell) at the end of this month. To See Tina my niece and her husband Steve. But the main reason for this trip is to the newest member of the family their 5 year old son that they adopted, who changed his name to Jim from Jake (some funny law in Idaho that lets him do that )

So I'm taking 6 days of Vacation plus one holiday that adds up to 11 days. (Aug 24 to Sept 3) I plan on staying In the Reno area for the first night (Friday) Then make the short hop into Idaho on Saturday. Right now the plan is to stay 2 to 4 days In Idaho with them. From here on I have no real plans at all. I was thinking about going to Glacier NP. Or heading up to Lewiston then make my way West over to the Seattle area, then head back home to San Jose. Now I plan on camping most of the nights once I leave my niece's to make my way home. If anyone in the Boise or Seattle areas would like to get together for a ride or a bite to eat let me know

I'm also looking for info on any good M/C shops along the way that have GOOD prices on tires (Avon st 180/55/17) simply because I don't know if the one I have will last or not. I could have one shipped to Idaho (family's place) or bring one with me? Yes I know when in doubt change it. I have 4200 on it with only half the tread gone. I would like to know just how many miles I can get out of it.

Now If you know of any good camping spots or nice twisty roads along the way pleas let me know about them.

Jim I don't think we have any plans for that time period so get ahold of me.Lots of twisty roads here.Ride a ST1300 so dirt roads are out for me.

[Explorer]

will do I will be on my FZ1 so no dirt roads this time round.

I'm in Boise too. Give us a shout when you get in town and we'll get together.

As for tires, there's a Cyclegear in Meridian that might be worth a check.

I get some pretty good prices on tires at Carl's Cycle, but I buy a lot from them.
Phone 208-853-5550

Also, Big Twin Cycles usually has competitive tire prices.

Highlander thanks for the info, I've been on these roads. If you have never been on 95 you should try it, I love that road.

So, Windy Ridge on Sept 3rd? I'm always up for it, but you'll have to wait for me at the top.  

[bizarro]

Windy on Sept 3rd......Labor Day, eh? Hmmm..... traffic could be pretty bad that day unless y'all got an early start.

[Explorer]

  Man I need to prof read things. The date for windy ridge should say Saturday Sept 1 st. NOT the third
