Last year I rode in the first ever Hot Bike Power Tour. There were 186 of us that started and 116 the finished.

I rode solo on the Sporty and it was a blast!

Here's a vid of some highlights.



This year there are going to be a lot more folks.




Mary and I are riding two-up this year. Anyone that can make it for a day ride, the whole ride, or just at one of the stops....Would be cool to meet you!

We'll be on the Softail pictured below...if you see us, introduce yourself, would be cool to meet you!



Below is a link on the details of the ride and all the nightly rallies.

We're starting out in Joplin, MO and ending up in Wisconsin Dells, WI.

I saw your pictures of the Sporty from your 2013 ride that was posted last year. Great pictures and looks like a great time!

 

Kevin,

I'm just waiting for it to happen and will see you guys in Springfield.

From last years ride is there anything you would recommend putting on the bike or throwing in a bag for this trip?

Hey Ryan!

Sunscreen and water!

Looking forward to meeting you FTF.

 

I'm back to the daily grind on the 20th when classes start back up.

 

Packing up today to leave out first thing in the morning.

Looking forward to meeting some of you along the way!

 

Kevin, are you making the ride as far as Wi?

 

I really had every intention of doing this ride after reading your posts from last year.
Plus I am familiar with the concept (Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour Veteran).

Then I got invited to make the Sturgis trip. Since I just got back from that week of riding and I am still planing on Bikes, Blues, and BBQ next month, I am going to have to skip this ride.

Maybe next year, since I don't think I'll be doing Sturgis next year.

 

Yeah, we'll be on the entire ride, ending up in Wisconsin Dells on the 20th. On the 21st we're going to ride up to Fuel Moto to meet Jamie, Brian and the crew. We've been doing business with them for a couple of years but never met FTF.

You going to roll over? Would be great to meet you.


There's so many things going on, can't do em all. I'm sure you had a great time in Sturgis, and BBB is a fun time too.

 

I can probably meet up over at fuel moto. I have the week off to visit with my daughter from Cali. Tuesday and Wednesday were are riding up to Sturgeon Bay and other parts north. But Thurs is good for me to solo on over. Would like to get some first hand info on doing a 107 build this winter.
