Default road trip report

OK, some of you may have noticed I haven't been on much in the last 10 days or so. We had the CVMA Nationals in Colorado Springs this passed week (Wed-Sun) I rode the Crossbones, with 4 other Brothers all on baggers the 1500 miles there, a few hundred around town and 1500 back. We took three days going each way. The Crossbones with 14" apes, badlander seat, and no windshield was fine. We hit some hellish winds coming back. I was holding on so tight that I had to go to Autozone last night to bum a torque wrench to push my bars forward again. They slipped about 2-3" or so. I felt as good as my Brothers at every stop, which occurred about every 150 miles....
