So Missouri really is the Meth Capital of the World, put down the pipe and come back to reality.

For chain BBQ, I like Famous Dave's but, unfortunately, we don't have one in the St. Louis area.

Ever try Piggys in O'Fallon?

SOOOooo! Happy for all you who have had no problems with your 2012 HD touring ride!! However the problems with mine continue to mount. Too much knocking / rattling , voltage regulator, missing, spit ,sputter backfire.throwing multiple codes. Dealer cant figar out whats wrong, and HD dont want to stand behind warranty because of slight modifications,ie 255 cams,rhienhardt slip on on 09 head pipe,race tuner and air cleaner. All reccomendations from dealer and all installed at dealership but the 09 head pipe!!

"Chain" and "BBQ" don't go together for me. I like the little mom and pop places with the smoker out in the parking lot. Each one is different, but that is the fun of it. I have a Famous Dave's 5 miles from my house, but I've never tried it.

My rule when I ride is "no chains" which is easy when you're off the beaten path, but not so easy around "civilization" where the chains have pushed everyone else out. To link this to the thread, this has been true in 10, 11 and 12 when all Harley's final drive was a belt, not a chain. There.
