Preparation for the West Coast Bucket List ride

My Bucket list ride is coming up at the end of June This is a West Coast trip I have been dreaming about for years.  See the goals listed below.  There are a bunch of things that I have got to get done. Route Selection I am getting confused on all the different route options.  While out there, I want to see so much.  But to reach all the destinations, LoriAnn and I will be riding too many miles a day.  To make the miles, we won't have time to see the sites.  I have to focus on the original goals of the trip. Goals: I need to reach the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada.  I also need to reach the Pacific ocean.  After reaching these goals I can say: I have ridden a motorcycle in all lower 48 states My current motorcycle has reach the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and numerous Great Lakes.  All water boundaries of the USA LoriAnn is alright with passing up the scenic sites.  She knows what this trip means to me.  As she often tells me about our motorcyc
