Well, I'll be off this Thursday. 233 miles for the first leg, and then down to New River Gorge via Spruce Knob, WV the second day to see some sites and watch the wackos bunjee jump.
I got prepared for the trip w/ a new Kurykan roll bag that mounts on the bars and some other ATGATT goodies. I outfitted the bike and did a test run yesterday to see how I would handle this new breed of "touring". Let's just say that ear plugs will be indispensable..........

We'll need to see some pictures when you get back. I'd say the Harley will do just fine. I took my Dyna Glide Sport to Colorado and back a few years ago. Rode Rt 50 from WV all the way. Ended up being 5,000 miles in ten days. With the saddle bags and rear rack, I had enough room for everything including camping gear. I didn't pack the Kermit chair though.
The bike ran perfectly, well maybe down a little on power over 8,000'. No oil usage and the belt never needed attention. I did go to a dealer for a new front tire where I got the special, "bend over price". But it did include a wash, which it was needing.

Well, I made it home. Sorry, no photographic documentation but suffice it to say this was an interesting adventure. The Deuce ran well, as the tour went through Morgantown, WV, Wheeling WV, then to Canton, OH for a stop at the pro football Hall of Fame. We hit Pittsburg Friday Night and headed home on Saturday. For the most part, we were able to dodge the torrential downpours, making the trip up as we went along, but we did get some rain on the way home through PA. Rain ain't much fun with no windshield. I got home with a sore backside and a very dirty harley, but otherwise no worse for wear.

I don't think wind blast will be a problem, afterall. it's spend most of it's time in a trailer like most of the other Harley's !! Honestly, go,enjoy the ride, relax. It will be a great trip!! Just don't let them talk you into a fringe vest or studded dew rag!! Via con Dios, Dutch

I recognize the location of BMWBagby's shot as Balanced Rock in the Garden of the Gods just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have family that lives about two miles from the park - spend time there every visit!
