KBMWGT Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Understand about the timing issue and the tour times. But you really aren't sitting in a bus for the tour. Its a converted heavy duty Chevy pick-up dually. The back is basically open with seats (like a school bus) so there are no windows, just open. You sit above the cab so full view. Stops are quite often so the threes hours isn't just sitting in the thing. You get out and walk around with the local indian guide telling you about his home. Its really a must do if you're in the area. Link to comment

hindsight Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I am greasing my girdle right now and planing my route. Boise to Torrey without going through Salt Lake City . What did I do or say?!?!? I currently don't have plans to attend, but it won't take much to twist my arm. Wurty, What route you taking? Link to comment
WURTY Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm scared to ride through Salt lake because of traffic and the fact I have never been there before. I guess I am going from Boise to wells nevada and then to ely and then over to Salida and then into torrey ?? Andy is there a better way ??? Link to comment
SageRider Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wurty, If you want a scenic route with some sweepers and some tight curves so you can abrade your cheeks on the road, try ID51 south out of Mountain Home / Becomes NV225, and joins US80 in Elko. Be sure that it hasn't snowed recently! Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Given my wife's ongoing health issues, it was always iffy whether I'd make it to Spring Torrey this year. But now I've looked at my calendar and realized that my daughter's college graduation is that weekend (5/22), so I am definitely OUT. Children's feelings are so easily hurt, you know? Have fun, and I'm pretty sure I'll see some of you in the Fall! Link to comment

Everyone knows they don't have feelings, so quit making stupid excuses and get yer ass to Utah. Link to comment

hopz Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Alert for riders arriving from the North, East and West who are going to Torrey! Feel free to think of our house as a HOST HOUSE if you want to stop in Salt Lake City on the way. I have garage space, workshop with tools and so forth if you need that. We have 3 sleeping rooms and plenty of space. If we get some interest we can host a Meet N' Greet the evening before we leave for Torrey. We have reservations at Chuck Wagon starting Thursday so Wednesday is the last over night we can host. Susie will be driving down on Thursday, while I will be riding. Any locals who want extra baggage to go to Torrey in the car please let me hear and we can make arrangements. Anyone interested either Post here or send me a PM. If there is interest I will post directions and numbers. Bob and Susie. Link to comment

Kitsap Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh so tempting! I will be leaving Seattle and stopping in Twin Falls on Wednesday just a few hours North of you. This winter has softened up my seat interface, 840 miles is just a tad long this early in the year. Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Well, Jamie and I are officially out now. Couple reasons; 1. No bike as BMW has had it for 34 days as of this posting. Yes, several have offered a solution to this and I am so humbly appreciative, but; 2. Jamie and I are getting the keys to our new house on Friday, May 20 so there's movin' to be done. We will be living in Folsom after the move. Something like a 37 second commute in the fire truck from work to home. Stay tuned for a tech day! Gotta break in the proper 2 car garage ya know!
