    Thanks The Wood Wolverine, love it so far, it really eats up the curves.... 50 mph winds doesn't make for a good ride.

    It looked fine when I left for a ride on the RT Friday.

    I had that happen quick to my bike a couple of years ago - saw this when I stopped to gather a friend for a ride. Needless to say I went home instead.

    Tires are very very thin when they get to that point!

    Haven't even been on the bike this year. I set up a battery tender to keep it charged, and that is it. This was probably the last time I rode, 10/27/19.

    What you looking to get, or are you still trying to decide?

    I've been told by most of my friends if I get something other than a Harley they won't ride with me.:rofl: :lol: So I'm looking at a roadking and street glide. I'm leaning towards newer with ABS. It's been quite a few years since I've put any real miles on.

    I took my beautiful wife for a 281 mile ride on her birthday last Sunday. Got her some new overpants and boots. :thumbs:
    Stopped at a local to TurboDiesel BBQ joint on his recommendation. It was great!!

    That’s about as far over as I can get the bike with her on back.

    I like to leave a little in reserve anyway.

    My wife and I are out for a weeks worth of riding. We left Ohio and rode Route 50 till western Indiana then worked our way over to Eureka Springs Arkansas. Missouri and Arkansas have some great roads to ride. I’ll post more pics later.
    I’m in a hotel and am tired.
