Preparing to Leave


I know it's a bit out of sequence but I thought it would be good to say something about how the Motor Company let me down on this trip!

What you are seeing in the photo is the front top of the crash bar of the motorcycle. The bar is attached at the top by a bolt that runs through the frame and into a tab on the bar. The tab is approximately 1/8 inch thick and cracked clean through! We discovered the crack after loading the bike on the trailer and attaching the tiedown straps on the night before we left!!!
The next day I was able to locate a new bar Milwaukee Harley Davidson and purchased it to bring with us. The plan was to install it at the hotel when we arrived The following day. Of course, the design of that mount had been changed so the new bar would not install the same as the old bar! Stupid H-D

Hopefully this will be the only time!!

While writing this, this morning, in the middle of town, I had a little visitor.
