The scenic 24 mile section is so twisty and narrow that there are no shoulders, so stopping to take photos is not possible.

Go and get yourself a GoPro Hero3....then you can even let us participate in the most beautiful parts of your riding instead of praising the ride and leaving us without pics

Hmm, great idea! I could also have used the camera next day when the gals at one of the local Victory (not HD ) dealers did a bikini wash of my Breakout!

Good write up. Very informative.

I'm a big proponent of Air Hawk seat pads for long rides. Hospital bed technology. You ride on air so butt never touches seat and it only takes a couple of light puffs to inflate.
