Default How High do you get on your Road Trips?
One of my more fun road trips was out of Chama, NM. During the adventure, I was cruising at 11,580 ft.

How high do you fly?

kered,

If you are from a Harley family, what did yo' Mama and Papa do wrong? Ain't you got no respect?

To try and erase the sight of "rice" on the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway Motor Road, I will post this photo of my Road King.
