Hello all. We made it back in one piece I am glad to say. We managed to get all the way to California and back to Pa with no bike troubles at all. Had a couple near misses though. Once a guy was flying down the road with a wooden bed frame in his truck not tied down and of course the thing flew out and hit the ground right in front of me, I ran it over and managed not to fall.Another time a guy lost his quater midget racer and it rolled across the road headed my way, You should have seen the stunt riding I did to avoid that one :mad: Got in some fishin in Colorado and generaly had a blast. Its good to be home and I am glad to see you guys are all doing well. I see they made a few changes to the board since the last time I checked in.

Re: Made it back

Yeah Crab the wife put a good death grip on me when that stuff went down let alone all the hollerin she did in my ear. Magster I took the 2002 electraglide I think the heat out in Utah and Nevada woulda killed the old flathead. Wait a minute hummmm a road trip on the old girl sounds like an excuse to do a solo run next summer :D Here is a photo of the bike we took. This was taken at capital reef Utah.<br />
