my good friend has much to do with the show, and all proceeds go to their local charity, a camp for disabled/disadvantaged kids.
if I said it once, I said it a hundred times.
bikers are the most charitable people I have ever met, and these yoopers
in a economically challenged area, are amazinly generous.
thanks...enjoy I shall around these fine people!

Quoting: Originally posted by FLHgurl I travel all over the country for my job. Haven't figured out how to put 3 months worth of clothes miscellaneous stuff, and a large dog on the bike. I happily pull a trailer from place to place and then get the bike out and park the truck. Still putting more miles on the bike than the truck.
hi that sounds like a pretty cool job. I've read more from people doing the same as you.

I can drive the trip in 9-10 hours..and ride in about 10- 12.

No offense to the "iron butt" crowd, but beating yourself up riding your bike long distances is a bit on the down side if there really is no reason for it. Smart guys trailer the heavy miles and break out the Harley for the smiley miles. I rode all day on Saturday, putting several hundred miles on my bike. Had a great time with great people, but when I got into my truck to go out that evening, it truly was a relief! Have fun trailering and remember, bikers are SUPPOSED to be just a little more accepting of other lifestyles. Its that FREEDOME OF THE ROAD thing so few seem to understand.

I'd ridden all my life, but 1st year she'd done any. And 2-300miles was her most in a day. So I loaded extra camping stuff in the truck and trailered bike. It stormed most of the way there, and almost every evening. One night has 100 mph winds. Glad I had the better tent. We still rode almost 2000 miles that week. I doubt myself as a poser. Maybe just getting wiser.

I don't see anything wrong with trailering a bike at times. I work 180 miles from home(and I live miles from anywhere). I stay there 3-4 days a week. So, I often trailer my bike with me so I can ride after work. I also have trailered it to rallies when I know I will leave there and head directly to work. I don't care what others think about it.
As it was pointed out in the movie WildHogs......maybe the "posers" are those who have forgotten what it is all about, the ride, the friend more...

my good friend has much to do with the show, and all proceeds go to their local charity, a camp for disabled/disadvantaged kids.
if I said it once, I said it a hundred times.
bikers are the most charitable people I have ever met, and these yoopers
in a economically challenged area, are amazinly generous.
thanks...enjoy I shall around these fine people!
