I enjoy both pushing my self on the cert rides and taking the slow ride and smelling the roses.There is also great satisfaction in going where the road takes you. One of my favorite rides ever wasn't very far at all. I put a couple of sleeping bags, a tent, and my daughter on the back and said, "You point which way to go and we'll go there."
We went here, and had a great time.

Agreed!! I'm considering the HH, just need to fit into my schedule. Doesn't look like it will happen in 2018 but maybe ...
The year was 1933, my Dad, on his 1932 Indian Scout did ride from New York City to Los Angeles.
I often think what the roads across the Country were like to ride from NYC to LA, and ride a hardtail.
Myself, in the Summer 2006 I took my LowRider to 3 National Parks in 2&1/2 weeks. The only
modifications to my LR were a windshield, heated hand grips, a Sundowner seat, and a sissy bar
with a rack. I had a T-bag on the back seat along with a day bag on top of an overnight bag on
the rack. I even packed a 4 cup percolator for coffee in the mornings.
