West Coast Ride Plan

Below is a plan I've put together for a week long ride on the west coast. It involves flying into Las Vegas, where we would rent the motorcycles, and departing from (and returning the bikes to) Seattle Washington. Our best option for renting is most likely going to be through EagleRider. Since I'll be riding 2-up with Alicia, 300 mile days was the goal. I've come up a little heavy on many days, but I hope it could still work. We could easily cut the trip off at Portland Oregon rather than going all the way north to Seattle, but I've heard wonderful things about Olympic National Forest, and I'd love to get there.
