          Congrats! Post pics after you pick it up. While you are down there, you should ride to Key West for the day! Let me know if you want to recoup the trailer costs...

              The trailer sounds like a stealth camper

            In Fayetteville, almost 800 miles. Baltimore was a 295, reroute. Virginia highway was popular today. I get pics of the trailer yesterday. My other brother called it a mini-house. 30 amp circuit, a door, window, microwave, heat a/c, fridge and a self locking Chock block. Still sounds to good to be true. Crazy! Thanks for the good wishes. West Palm Beach bound tomorrow. Only 700 miles. Ruby Tuesday dinner. Hot bartender. Life is good ?!

              Sounds like a nice set-up....
              I just ordered this to have in my small motor home to run things and charge the e-bikes.
              At first it was $100 off and when I waited there was another $100 off. I may eventually
              fix panels to the roof to charge the house batteries after I figure things out.

            Yeah, if I ever start talking about buying a Harley, I've already made arrangements with my family to go ahead and put me down so that I don't have to do it myself.

            I hear that Harley makes great bikes, Good Luck

                What is this bike, an Electra Glide?

                East Coast is Harley territory. Enjoy. There is no place there you can ride for 30 minutes at 110 mph. No K bike territory. I really do get it. I do suggest you learn how to do second gear burn outs through intersections on your hog though. Got to have some nasty going.

                That's a big heavy piece of iron to handle, not to mention all the time cleaning chrome.
                The last couple of years I've had a handful moving the GSA around, mostly due to a
                shoulder injury and then recovery.... I've considered a lighter bike.

              Congrats!

              Didn't realize you already pulled the trigger.

              My wife and I rode an Electra Glide out west in the Sturgis area.

              Nice bike for all day two up comfort.

                I took a lady friend of mine for a back road ride on my GSA a couple of summers ago. She was
                constantly mentioning riding in AZ years ago with an old boyfriend. (I almost dropped her off or
                left her when we stopped for a bathroom break.)
                So last summer we were sitting outside in a safe distance and I asked her, "Veronica, what is
                it about the Harleys that you liked?"
                She did not hesitate and with this deep sexy voice she replied, "Oh Micheal, it's the vibration !"

                  Similarly, I was at a multi-line bike festival somewhere years ago and heard a similar conversation going on while waiting in a line. I clearly remember the response of that woman... "Harley's don't vibrate, they THROB!"

                      I read that, but was hopeful he'd figure it out to post of pictures of his new baby.
