Wow. Thanks for all the great replies.
@Jimmyacorn Laconia looks awesome. June is a great time for long trips and it may mean tolerable weather up there heheh. We'll definitely have to check that one out. Amusing that you mentioned 1974...before I sold my dad a Honda when I moved to Harley's, last time he'd ridden was 1974...but I digress.
@Lucky I'd heard that Daytona and Sturgis are both crowded as all get out. We're going to try to make Biketoberfest down there, as well. I've heard some great things about that...especially since it's a little less crowded than Bike Week down there. Sturgis I've heard (and can see from the pictures) is pretty much universally crowded. Worth experiencing though. Our thoughts were to stay right in the thick of it first time we go, since we've never been and it's all new and oo-ah. Angel City sounds totally fun...but we'll be out of the country through April.
We'll have to schedule that one for 2013.
@SolarBill Americade sounds fun. I think we have June free...we'll have to put that one on the schedule. I've heard of the trail of tears...never knew much about it. Will have to check that one out. Pretty convenient location wise, so can't argue there.
@Kingbiscuit Oh we will DEFINITELY have to hit Lone Star...those are my true home stomping grounds. Born and raised in Austin and been to Galveston a number of times. New Orleans would be pretty fun too...will have to read up on that one more.
Thanks for all the great info, y'all. Much appreciated.
