SW, thanks for the bon voyage... we're really looking forward to it.

I am contemplating leaving the bike at home. a) My wife doesn't get much free time with me when I'm not obsessing about my next ride. b) I could use a rest week now and then to re-charge the body and the passion. c) Also, I'm not sure about stowing the bike when we're out and about. We're just going to have a Civic with us, and taking it in and out of the car various times a day to keep it safe doesn't appeal to me, nor does leaving it locked at the campsite. Anyone have experience with this?

As you can tell, I'm not yet convinced about leaving it at home...
