Default Hot Bike Power Tour Ride Report

Heading out in the morning on the Sporty to run the Hot Bike Power Tour.

Starts in Little Rock, AR and ends up in Racine, WI.

Dunno how many Sportys will be on the ride, have a feeling it will be mostly baggers and other Twin Cams.

Will not have a computer with me, but will be getting pics to Natalie & Dawn at the shop, and they'll post here in this thread.

Gonna be gone a week. This is what I'm riding.



Will have a bag on the sissy bar and a roll above the headlight.

First day of the Hot Bike Power Tour in Little Rock Arkansas.




It’s more than just leather. The Freedom Jacket has traveled the world collecting stories from Harley riders. See where it’s been over the last year before it arrives at our 110th Anniversary in just 4 days: http://*******/13Lnf5O



Hot Bike Power Tour - Leaving out of Little Rock Sunday Morning

Went on an interesting tour of the RC Components facility



Waiting for the rest of the crew to fuel up. Bowling Green to Anderson IN today...all secondary roads. Lots off good sweepers



The guys from Led Sled were at the racetrack in Anderson to meet us.

btw, I used a Led Sled fender blank for the rear fender on the Sporty.



Packed up this morning in Anderson, IN--headed out to Racine, WI



Sporty I saw at the Racine HD dealer

Down at Lake Michigan for the PT wrap-up.

Can't count how many times I was asked by the some of bagger riders how I was doing, or that they were surprised that a Sporty could make such a trip.

I think some of them may now have a bit different idea about Sportsters. Lol



There was quite a crowd...well over a thousand bikes



There were a couple of metric stunt riders...they put on a good show.



This was taken off of the HOT BIKE MAGAZINE facebook page:
