Default Epic Ride Complete!

12 days, Virginia to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, S Dakota and Back. 6212 miles in all kinds of weather, tornados, hail, 105 degrees, 35 degree and of course some really great weather. Did it old school, left the CVO parked in the garage and took the 09 FLHP with 16" apes, no cruise, no stereo. Jury rigged an auto GPS though which was a lifesaver in all the backroads I rode on. Went up Pike's Peak, rode the rockies through Vail, Breckenridge etc. Hit Yellowstone in Wyoming and rode Chief Joseph and Beartooth. Rode up to NW Montana to Whitefish and rode Going to The Sun road in Glacier. Finished the trip in the Black Hills in SD and went to the Badlands and ofcourse rode Spearfish Canyon. Too many other places to mention and met so many great people all over!
I will post a few pictures in this thread.
This one is on the way up to Pikes Peak.
