Home from Estes

Greg H on his Harley and Me on my Nomad Left Estes Park yesterday morning around 7:30 am with the intention of either doing the 700miles to Des Moines or just 500miles to Lincoln Nebraska. At around 4pm when we had stopped for one of our gas stops we had seen that we were making good time and we feeling so good so I called the hotel we were supposed to stay at and cancelled. Around 5:30pm we were going through Lincoln and Greg slowed down and eventually pulled off to the side. We were in a work zone so when he slowed down I went passed him so I wouldn’t get hit by the cars behind me. I slowed down to see what he was doing I stopped on the shoulder. When there was no traffic I turned around and went back to him to see what was happening.Long story short, his front wheel bearings went out on him. Buy the time we got a hold of his Hog people the dealership down the road did not pick their phone.Ened up getting a tow truck to take it to the dealership and I called the hotel and the room was still available. When we found out the dealership wasn’t going to be open until9am we decided maybe it was better for me to ride on home since I had to be at work by 11am. So once everything was lined up and the tow truck showed up 2hrs later I took off for my home. My Nomad and I got home right around 10:30pm.
The tow truck driver told us that he had a Goldwing and was excited to get ready for Sturgis. That’s when I thought about asking Greg if he knew about the fact on Harleys, which is 80% of Harleys made are still on the road……the other 20% made it home! I didn’t think he would appreciate that.

PS Just got off the phone with him and he just pulling in to his house.
