Denver, Colorado to Washington D.C. Rode to St Louis, MO. with a friend where we parted in two different directions. From there it was on to D.C. to stake out a camp site for the next five days. Heat and humidity were taking it's toll. After attending Rolling Thunder XXIV and riding in the parade down Constitution Ave with Sarah Palin, who knew? From there it was off to GA to meet up with a riding buddy and do the Cherohala Skyway and The Dragons Tail. His new bike broke down again on the way to N.C. and was in the shop for the past three weeks for repair. It was suppose to be ready the day after I arrived but another unforseen issue arose and the bike would not be ready for another week. So I bid him good luck and headed back out on the highway for a visit to the Harley Factory in Kansas City, MO. It was pleasure to leave the heat and humidity behind. The Cherohala Skyway and Dragons Tail would have to wait. As it turned out my friend was informed the following week that his new bike would now require a new engine and transmission along with an additional delay of three to six weeks. He has now flown home. Hopefully we'll be able to ride to Sturgis this year. Overall it was a good ride and I met some good people along the way. And as always you just cannot beat that southern hospitality. |
