Hi Alison! It sounds like you put on quite a few miles in a relatively short amount of time. You must ride every day! Welcome and keep riding safe!

Thanks to all of you for your kind welcome - I will attempt to respond to the many messages!!

I am not very mechanical so I didn't do my engine modifications myself; I do ride every day in fact I use my Harley to commute to work and back and then for socialising at weekends. Picture below (hopefully)

It is really expensive to ship my bike to ride in the US, but I did rent one a few years back in Montana before and rode around on my vacation; am hoping to do the same when I reach Wyoming in September... Thanks again!

Regards

Alison

I like the looks of your bike. I was wondering where you went in Montana? Did you have a chance to go through Glacier and Yellowstone Parks. There's a lot of pretty country in Montana. There's a lot of pretty country in Wyoming, but it's a little further away from where I am. Good luck on your trip.

Springer,

I have some friends in Bozeman so I hired a bike and just rode around, although I did go to West Yellowstone... it was beautiful! This years plan is to ride up from Jackson WY, through Yellowstone and into Montana to sort of meet up where I left off last time. I haven't been to Glacier yet, although it is on my list of places to go!

We head over the pond on September 1st so not long to go now...

Howdy again, if you like lakes, Flathead Lake is a nice place to visit. Years ago when I went through there, they used to have a cruise on the lake. It started at Poulson and it was great to see the Bald Eagles that were in the trees along the lake shore. Enjoy your trip.
