Default New Ride

Well I finally got a new ride after my 16 Ultra Limited burned up. Got a hundred miles on it so far. I like it. A couple of friends and I plan to leave in the morning, hit the Natchez Trace and ride up to the Rattlesnake Saloon for some supper, tour Jack Daniels Distillery Saturday and back down to Guntersville State Park, and then Sunday down to Leeds to Barber Motorsports Museum. Looking forward to putting on some miles.

Sounds like a good ride. Weather is supposed to be nice.

Fall colors are peaking right now.

Nice looking bike, you will enjoy the RG. Traded my 2017 RGU for the 2020 RoadGlide limited about a month ago and love it. I may have to take that trip up the Trace and over to Rattlesnake Saloon one day, never been there but heard good things

Great ride up the Natchez Trace. Dinner at Rattlesnake Saloon on our first night, a visit to Jack Daniels on day two but the wait for a tour would have put us completing the day in the dark, so no tour. I have toured the distillery before. We spent night two at Lake Guntersville State Park and completed the trip with a tour of Barber Motorsports Park. Lot of bikes on the track and they were flying.
