Bumping this thread because things came up and it didn't happen last year. Its happening for sure this year though. Already started booking rooms in some of the towns that will fill up. I'll be leaving Raleigh NC on Aug 22ed. This is what my route looks like: Day 1: Raleigh NC - Nashville TN-...

Mine has been that way for 2 years. One day i'll get around to fixing it. I've just been skipping to 3rd.

Thought about it. Kinda want to be covered incase it rains though. I'll look into that. Just don't want to spend more then what I could stay in hotels/KOA cabins for.

Haha. No way I'm pulling a trailer. I'll leave that to the Harley guys. lol. I don't mind camping every other night or so. I actually kind of like it as long as it's not cold or hot and there's good places to eat nearby. I hate carrying bunch of stuff. Normally If it doesn't fit in my backpack...

I have a 3k mile ride coming up and I'm trying to get stuff together. To save on hotels I want to camp every other night. I know a lot of guys on here ride and camp, where do you keep a sleeping bag and tent? How do you strap it? I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money to make it work. I also...

True. Work is slow right now and I cant get to the bike until this weekend. Was hoping I could just find one online here at work, print it, make it, install this weekend. We have 6061 Alum and 303 Stainless.

Because it's cheaper and easier to install and take off. I just don't want them to break if I'm 500 miles from home. Is there anywhere online where I could find a print? I'm a machinist and could make them myself and do it right. I could even make it stronger. Just need to know the dimensions

Awesome ride. I would have cut it short too. You just can't ride in weather like that after 9k miles. I would have never made it anywhere near that. The sand dune pic....would that happen to be the Glamis dunes on hwy 78 east of Brawley, CA?

I've been thinking about putting some of these on mine. I don't want to do a full arm. Are they really that reliable? I like to ride a long ways from home. lol

Well if you hit something, you'll stop pretty quick

2ed gear problems on my 07 but it happened after doing buyouts inside a bar at bike week

ended up just hauling it the whole way. put about 300 miles on it just riding around daytona area. she did fine but i'm thinking about trading it in on a street glide

97 in a 65 on the bypass. Town cop seen me and got pulled 10 miles later by a county cop wasn't cheap

Decided to load it up in the back of a truck and drive overnight to jacksonville, get a cheap hotel for the weekend and unload in the morning and ride the 90 miles to daytona and back each day. Not what I wanted to do but like said above she would be able to drive some (or all the way). Plus...

as of right now i have no gear like back rest or any of that. Really don't want to buy any. A part of me thinks she will be fine since shes rode many many miles on a street glide with me, but the other part has me worried she will feel like shes in hell before we even make it to jacksonville...
