[Ducati] Trip round the country

[Aaron Gillies]

Kevin,
   
  I know Bakersfield was tentative, but if you do decide to swing by I can be here for you. I'm recently married, but I've got a garage and a couch. (Couch is not in the garage. Garage is for Ducs).

  I'm trying to get a little more concrete about my itinerary. Here's what I have so far:
1) The route (suggestions and caveats encouraged and appreciated): Oakland CA, Ashland OR, (Newport OR) Seattle WA, Alberton MT, Milwaukee/Chicago (I-94 or I-90?, and where to stop, and what to see?), Indianapolis, Cleveland, Hartford, Purcellville VA, Murphy NC, (TX?) Phoenix AZ, (Bakersfield?), Laguna Seca.
There are still some gaps (I'm not riding from VA to TX in one shot). As I look at the map, and run Mapquest trips, I appreciate just how big the country is and how long it will take to get across it.
2) The time table. Leave Oakland 6/18, Seattle 6/20, get near Milwaukee (and Giuseppe) by 6/25, Harford by 6/28, and Purcellville by 6/30. I am tentatively planning for 2-3 more days to get across the country, to allow for rests, motorcycle maintanence, sight-seeing and visiting (maybe even some local road riding). I have not worked out any details for the return trip yet, except I hope to leave VA about 7/8, and get to LS 7/19. If Anyone is headed west for the motogp at LSeca, I could use some company (George?, Scott?)
Does this look realistic? Are people going to be home if and when I come by?
Any other suggestions?
Travel light, travel fast, but stop often and look around.
