Pre-1933 motorcycle coast to coast ride stopped in Paducah today. I couldn’t stay until they all arrived but here’s what I saw.Oldest was the 1912 Indian Single

OK it wasn't a monumental ride but we did get a bit of riding in this weekend. It was heavily overcast here on Saturday and Sunday but the rain held off for the most part. I managed to get in about 150 miles alone on Saturday. Just a nice ride through eh country side getting used to the new bike. Then on Sunday, Eileen and I first decided to ride over into Pennsylvania but hit some rain just east of Cleveland so we turned around and then headed south for a bit. We ended up doing another 125 miles or so. More nice riding through the country and stopped for dinner at a small pub/diner that was pretty good. The bike did great. We seldom got above 65 MPH but the torque is great for that type of riding. It has a feature that they told me about but I really didn't think it was a big deal and really it's not but I found myself using it pretty often and really like it. I don't know if they call it a hill start mode or parking mode or what but when you roll up to a stop light and are on a slope, once stopped you just pull the break handle in and it locks the brakes. So you don't have to hold the brake while sitting. When the light changes, you simple squeeze the lever again or just roll on the throttle and it releases. Kind of nice. Also really enjoyed the Apple CarPlay. As for comfort, this bike is as good as I've owned. For the first time in many years, I will not have to change thee handlebars or add risers. The stock bars are about perfect for me. I've already added the riders backrest and highway pegs. About the only thing that needs changing is the windshield. The stock shield is just way too low for me. I'll likely add a new Clearview shield in the near future.

Now about a little get together. I'm somewhat open on the dates. I'm also open on the location but hopefully somewhere within a couple hundred miles from me. Nothing highly organized, just get together to visit and ride some nice roads. Any interest or suggestions?

How's about Hocking Hills?

I sent them an email a few minutes ago asking about lead time. I ordered a Clearview this morning and just got a response that there is a 25 working day lead time. If Freedom is quicker, ill give them a try.
