I'd love to ship and ride, but I think I'd have to buy a Black & Blue before then!

You will! [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]


We're waking up in Joplin, Mo. this morning, to clear skys.

Rain off and on all day yesterday.  At some point my bike through a code.  Had it looked at in Memphis when they changed my rear tire (by the way.....JR hustled a a free loaner for the day) and they said it was a "combustion code" but couldn't find anything.  They cleared the code and sent me on my way.  

Stopped at Denny's Harley Davidson in Springfield, Mo. half an hour before closing time.  Explained that I was on the road and what was going on and his response was "we're getting ready to close but I think we can do something to help you".  Hour and a half later (yep, he kept two guys back on overtime to take care of it) they had replaced a broken wire to my air intake sensor and also the ground for that.  The first one, the rubber sleeve was worn through and it was shorting out.......the ground was broken on the inside but the rubber sleeve was intact.  I can tell you that my bike really started sucking the fuel to the tune of 136 miles on the last tank.  From Sprigfield to here in Joplin it looks like no codes are thrown and my fuel guage quit moving so fast.

These guys are planning on leaving Joplin at 12:30 this afternoon.  Not sure why so late but we're going to pull earlier and have a nice comfortable ride and try to beat some of the heat of the afternoon.  We should be there in Dodge City early enough that you'll find us at a motel laying by the pool. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  That's our idea of a V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

The departure was set that late because it allowed travellers headed this way time to get here this morning and not have to push it as far the evening before should weather, schedule or travel Gods make such things a palatable choice.  Since it still allowed plenty of time to get in well before dark it had been suggested as a way to be accommodating.  

See ya in Dodge.....

Thanks Don.  We rode in the rain last night to get an early start today.......we seem to handle the rain a whole lot easier then the heat.

We're at the Comfort Inn in Dodge City (the Thuderbird didn't have a pool).  Going to go swimming with the guys then we'll head off to dinner in awhile.

Thanks JR, to you and Debbie for the hospitality and showing us around!  We had a great time [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]   Tell Debbie that I said thank you for that special dinner.......homemade meals are really appreciated on the road.

Been home for a couple hours.  Clocked 4,901.6 miles on my bike since we picked them up at HD of Atlanta.  We had a great time and met a lot of great people from this site.  I think Jon (Jonga) bought five shirts at each Harley dealership that we stopped at. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

I'll start working on the photos tomorrow and post here.
We did two lane highways and roads all the way across America.  I doubt we have a total of 200 miles on interstate freeways, all combined..........so we got to really see the country.  Thanks to all the members of this site who showed us around their respective areas....that was much appreciated.

Canada, next year.........start planning it now.  You and Randy can ship your bikes out here and ride up with us, from here, then ride them home (two weeks is do-able).

Just found our photos from when Chip and Nancy took us to the Tail Of The Dragon.  Beginning with photo #935 of 1357, through #944 of 1357....first it's Andy on the orange and black, me on the blue and black, Jock on his blue and black and Jon and Heidi on his black Street Glide......... http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/OrderPage.aspx?pi=04RK006W080938&po=939&c=

Glad to hear you all made it home safely and had a great time getting there.  With 1000+ photos, I'm sure you'll be busy for a while!  Make sure you send me some pics!!!

I enjoyed meeting you guys and Heidi.  

Out of curiosity, how many attendees at the Cripple Creek CVO Rally plan to attend the Maggie Valley CVO Rally?

[Midnight Rider]

Glad you guys made it home safely...already planning for the Calgary trip...will probably ship the bike to your area, then ride up.  Looks like a 5K trip for me.

Looking forward to the pics of your entire trip!!

Welcome home JC, glad you made it back safely. It was a real disappontment not making Cripple Creek, but maybe Canda in '07.

JC, Jonga, & AK,
Glad you all made it back home safe and sound, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you while you were on the east coast. However I've decided to go to Maggie Valley after seeing how much fun can be had at one of these gatherings. Ya'll need to come on back.
