Freebird Posted August 21, 2013 Author #51 Posted August 21, 2013 Eddie, I'll let you know as soon as I get some new bars and get these off. Most other Road Glide riders love these bars, they just don't exactly do it for me.
rickardracing Posted August 21, 2013 #52 Posted August 21, 2013 I see a bunburner in your future What ever you do be safe . Where's the pics Boss ? Jay.......I have been wanting to do one, butt (pun intended) no takers so far.
rickardracing Posted August 21, 2013 #53 Posted August 21, 2013 Don. welcome to the club. I did mine last year. 1065 miles 19 hrs 45 min.
Freebird Posted August 21, 2013 Author #54 Posted August 21, 2013 We aren't that far apart. Eddie wants to do one too. Lets just make it happen.
Freebird Posted August 21, 2013 Author #55 Posted August 21, 2013 I mailed all my paperwork on Monday morning. Now it's a matter of just waiting for 60 to 90 days for them to confirm it. I ended up right at 1078 miles and almost exactly 18 hours. I understand that they may change the mileage but I think it will be very close to that. It was pretty much a straight shot so not much room for error. The Road Glide speedometer is almost dead on with my GPS...maybe 1 MPH off. Mapping program also agreed with the mileage.
rickardracing Posted August 21, 2013 #56 Posted August 21, 2013 We aren't that far apart. Eddie wants to do one too. Lets just make it happen. You want to do the 1500 in 36? I am up for it.
Freebird Posted August 21, 2013 Author #57 Posted August 21, 2013 I'm in. Let's pick a time and do it. How about it Eddie? Weekends are certainly best for me.
Squidley Posted August 21, 2013 #58 Posted August 21, 2013 Thats was a great trip Brad , we had some great fun didnt we ? Yes sir we did, I enjoyed that trip a lot! I distinctly remember all of us coming in on Tennessee 64 out of Cleveland and after a while we realized that we WERE on the Dragon. You took off as you had the lead, followed by me, Freebird and Charlie. I had that trailer on and rode just as fast as I dared with all that crap. I felt bad as Don and Charlie could only ride it as fast as I could push it, had the front wheel off the ground a couple of times in some of those upward hairpins.....too funny

Good thing you were on a real bike to get you thru that one....
Squidley Posted August 22, 2013 #60 Posted August 22, 2013 I remember you coming in that night!! Good thing you were on a real bike to get you thru that one.... We all remember you walking into the KFC wherever the hell town we were in. You were on your blue one and seeing we had never really met anyone outside of Potato Creek, we said "I wonder if he's going to the rally?"
rickardracing Posted August 22, 2013 #61 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm in. Let's pick a time and do it. How about it Eddie? Weekends are certainly best for me. After the Labor Day weekend. I am going that weekend to see my little grandson! Pretty much any weekend after that. I can ride down to your place and leave from there or we can meet someplace. We need to figure out a route. Do we as a small group want to go northeast, west, south? Matters not to me...........I just want to ride!!

You were on your blue one and seeing we had never really met anyone outside of Potato Creek, we said "I wonder if he's going to the rally?" My GPS was set for the shortest distance and thats the way it took us. I did get some **** for that route haha , but we ended up going to Helen instead of the Dragon again and that is a very cool town.

Freebird Posted August 22, 2013 Author #64 Posted August 22, 2013 Weekend after labor day or the next week...doesn't matter to me. The route doesn't matter either but it just needs to be a route that we can make some good time on. I assume that we will do a round trip for this one? If not, we will be riding BACK 1500 miles also. That makes for a fairly tiring weekend. Some type of circle type trip would be nice if we could figure it out.
rickardracing Posted August 22, 2013 #66 Posted August 22, 2013 Im in , lets get it planned.[/ Eddie, I am in Hamburg, just north of Ann Arbor, south of Brighton. We can meet up someplace on I-75. I will look for possible routes for a 1500 mile circle. You guys do the same. We can compare and decide. I would think all highway is the best route. I also assume we will need to stop and get a few hours sleep to recharge. Don, either of those weekends works for me. How do they look for you Eddie?

When you can't see that's Eddie....
