Default 1909 miles in 6 days

We had a great trip took our sweet a$$ time. Went thru Milwaukee stopped at the H-D Museum then on to St.Paul Mn.Mall of America. Then south to Waterloo Ia. We stopped at probly 20 dealerships around the country . Bumped into a nice couple from Maryville Tn. Rode about 150 miles with them to Minnesota. Some other folks on a boss hoss on thier way to nashville. They had a tower of belongings that was probly 2 feet over his wifes head. his Hoss had 713 horse power. The best trip in years.

Did you take any pictures of the "towering" Boss Hoss? Is 713 hp enough power for touring?

Naw the camera was packed.I didn't really think about it as we were headed to dennys for some grub. After 15 minutes they were still piling more stuff on the sissy bar.It must have been a solid bar. With that much weight on it it would 've broke had it been tubular.It was a good thing that they had that 573 cubic inch V-8 to hold the front end down.
We walk out and open the lid on my bushtec position the bags in less than a minute close the lid and we were ready.
