[QUOTE="gazelle, post: 1252247, member: 28432"] I don't take issue with any of the above. I will say that in general we motorcyclists are a resourceful lot and are usually successful at making the best of a bad situation. Even Mauldin, SC (Greenville) has it's extremes...Long story...flood last summer....rode through close to two feet of moving water..pulled my horns the next day...both had pea-sized gravel in them. Over close to a milliion miles (almost 400K on FJR's) I've ridden in a little of everything....from -14F to 115F. Rode into Durango, CO 12 (?) years ago with a buddy....womdered why we'd passed so many BMW's....National raaly was there....(heard later double the expected attendence was there). We didnlt even LOOK for a room. Rode to Silverton...hotel (100 yrs old ?) with character, cold beer, good food. No doubt in my mind a better experience than anything in Durango even if we had a choice of venues. I must confess I did make reservations years ago (1 day at a time) on a trip to western Newfoundland. Was with a lady friend in an '89 Legend coupe, 5-speed which I still use on a road trip once a year to the Keys. Newfoundland is VERY sparsely populated. We'd look at the map...set a destination that AM and call to make reservations. Was in PEI years ago.....was "old home week"....NO rooms....Government tourist folks found me a B & B not far from town...old farm in same family over 300 years... [/QUOTE]
