If you are planning to ride in CA you better add a helmet to your list or you will be buying one here if you want to continue to ride.

We have a 2000 Harley Road King. It is a great travelin' bike.

No what you see on the bike is what I am taking with me. I can not get into the whole full dresser/saddle bags thing.

I wanted a nice bare bones rigid that sat real low to the ground and that was chopped out. If I am standing up the seat is at the same level as my knee cap. My butt is like 18 or 20" from the pavement.

Here are the only photos I can find that will give you a perspective of the bike in relationship to a human...

She is still sorta standing over the bike

Nice bike Billy, but I have a request on behalf of everyone who loves you...PLEASE WEAR A HELMET!

My brother was killed by a drunk driver on his harley and he wasn't wearing his helment. It was the 1st time he didn't wear it. Stay safe.

Billy, may I suggest you take an extra change of clothes, then stop at a laundromat to wash the dirty ones...would save a ton of money for fabric!

Sounds like a great trip! My husband and I met in California and drove up to Seattle then down again to Colorado before going the rest of the way to New York!

We had a fabulous time, hit Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc.
You will have a wonderful time between the riding, the shops, and the friends.

Have a wonderful and safe trip.

Don't forget the helmet, and glad you are bringing the toothbrush and deodorent!!

:) :) :)

We're headed back in Sept ... but we understand some of the higher peaks close mid-Sept - eg Mt Evans.

One of the most amazing sites we saw were the Cliff Dwellings at Mesa Verde - haunting, humbling, awesome. If you're in the area, it's worth a whole day!

Linda

Cliff dwellings......thats another must see!!! See you guys can help me plan the trip also!!

But I do have a few homes and folks I have to see on this trip like Charlee and BK. Then Lisa (Quilt addict) and I have a date to go do some serious dumpster diving and thrift store hopping!!!

I have had offers from quite a few members to stay at your homes while I am on the trip and trust me I will take you guys up on it!! And as soon as I figure the route out then I can see who I will be staying with. But I do want to try and to meet as many members I can while I am out on the road and I am hoping to be able to see as many LQS I can!!

Billy

You can add Arches National Park to your list ~ you can go there after you leave here :) Well worth it!!! It's an amazing sight.
