And if I have to go 1600 miles in 3 days i will tow again loved the rides in the Mtns and if I had rode out that quick I would not have been able to ride Mtns so it is what it is and I would do it again.

It makes perfect sense. I would have needed an ass transplant if I did 975 miles on my old Nomad.

if we had rode out Kawhead would have to rode 900/600/500 miles to get there and back in the time he had so we decided on the trailer so we would be fresh for the rally which is must say was a great place and thanks to Joel for all the hard work and putting it together

Tom, you and Mike had to cover a lot of country to get to the rally. The important thing is that you went. I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you goodbye, but I really enjoyed meeting you and chatting with you.

I don't know what you're referring to, Dan. The two Harleys at the rally were ridden there by their owners. However, there were several Vulcans trailered to the rally. So much for your theory.

Scott, just reflecting what I see when I get out on long rides between towns. Often looks like a harley, pickup, and trailer come as a package deal. But as is oft said, the exception proves the rule!

It's funny. Whenever I've been on the road, HD outnumbers any other bike on the road 20-1.
