Mary and I have been talking about our Big Trip this year. We don't have a firm plan yet, be we have some rough ideas of time-frame and places we want to ride.
Going to visit family in Nevada, California, Idaho and Montana.
Yellowstone, Beartooth and some more riding in Colorado.
Still waiting on family plans to solidify before planning a route.
Gonna be a good ride!

Kevin, it sounds like your gearing up for a nice trip this year.
I’m also trying to set plans for a cross country trip andthis is one of the reasons for asking about a mesh safety jacket for summer. I too like wearing my leather jacket and when in the mountains I don my heated jacket when it’s cold.
Two years ago, a friend and I took about the same trip your lining up and we ate up a little over 7,200 miles. It was the most fun I have ever had on a motorcycle and especially riding my tri-glide. The worst part of the trip was traveling through the Mojave Desert during daylight hours wearing a t-shirt. Fortunately, my friend had a bagger and carried ice water. But a mesh jacket will keep from losing skin in case of an accident and be better hydrated.
Again, everyone thanks for all the jacket info. DJ
