Default Tombstone, AZ

Well, I finally finished getting my RK ready for our upcoming trip. New Mustang seat and new HD rider backrest.

Grats, looks rather comfortable there JB...just ordered the same type of seat from Mustang for my bike...the wide vintage solo with backrest, can't wait for it to arrive.

Have a blast man, looks like you'll be all right getting there

Thanks Zombie. I did a 1300 miler with the original seat and no backrest or highway pegs. The Mustang Regal Touring seat is unbelievable!! Can't wait for Tombstone.... and then there's Sturgis!

I really like the look of that smoke windshield. Got any frontal views of it?

Thanks!

PS-Tombstone is great. You'll love it. Best of both the wild west worlds for you if you are doing Tombstone and Sturgis!! Gotta love Al Swearengen!!!!!

I didthe Tombstone poker run last year during AZ Bike Week. Kate's is a great time. I have never ridden in that much wind in my life!!! For nearly two hours I had a STRONG cross wind on a fatboy!!! I just have the attitude that when things tend to suck, they make the longest lasting memories.

Tombstone is indeed one of my favorite rides. Do it a few dozen times a year. The ride to the Chiraquara National Forest is a nice ride if you're staying overnight. Bisbee is a great ride as well.Great vistas and open spaces riding. I'll be there there at the end of March for a couple days partying and riding with a group I ride with. We own that town that weekend. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

4mer-racer, we we're there at the same time last year. It WAS windy. We were coming back from the Chiraquras and man, I was getting blown away. Good time, though.
