Smile Made a website about our Harley trips

It's still a work in progress but check out what we have so far. I like seeing ride reports about all the road trips on here as-well. Keeps us motivated!

Thanks

I checked out your website and went through the pictures of your 17 day trip. That's quite an accomplishment riding two up on a softail. How many miles total ?

Bigbender: Thanks, total trip was 5,943 mi.

Fathertime: Not really a blog, we are just using it right now to post pictures of some of our trips, you can sign up at weebly and make your own site. There are several designs to pick from and ours is the 2nd one on the list (it's not named)

Great website and ride reports. What is also great to see is that the two of you are really enjoying the sport together and not waiting for too much life to pass you by before doing so.

Next time you are in the CO area, make sure you check with SFARSON here on the forum and get his book on the best roads in CO. Well worth it!!!

Great story and pics on your site. Read your trips and looked at all your pics. Conviced me thats the direction we'll head next year. Already got my New England trip for July setup and planning a return to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail of the Dragon for Memorial Day week, but your pictures make me want to find the time to make that trip now. Great Pics 'I assume your partner was the photographer, Good Job.

Thanks, we have several trips in the works. We leave in 2 weeks for another road trip. Hoping to make it to San Fran and see as much as possible along the way.

tphillips- Our motto is why wait! We have the energy and health to do it now and you never know when your situation can change.

Deep6- We both take pictures, she gets to take more being on the back. Glad we could help inspire you to go out west, it's pretty awesome out there
