    I ride a 2013 Street Glide Vivid Black. My wife just this Friday bought her first ever motorcycle, a 2009 Dyna Fat Bob CVO! Orange dappled paint up front and red in the back. She doesn’t even have her license yet and has never driven a bike! She’s signed up at Harley of Madison Wisconsin in Sept. for the safety class. We had stopped there to pick up my Glide that they had for a Stage 1 on and she saw this bike. I knew I should have gotten an Uber. We love your videos. Thanks for doing this. It inspires us both to get out there and explore together. Now my wife can enjoy the driving part too!! I met you at Milwaukee in the Customs Dynamic tent. I’m an Air Force Vet. Pleasure meeting you.

    My husband and I are smiling as since you bought the RG, it’s a different type of love for that bike. The sound system sounds loud. I know your wife would love the road trip. The SG is going to get jealous, lol. My husband hoping to buy the RG soon.

    Stopping at Buc ees is a good way to start the trip. Any trip. I am going to enjoy this series. Not a big fan of the state of Kansas. I live in Ohio and traveling west on I 70 Kansas isn't fun to me. BUT. Coming back a few weeks ago I took RT. 36. Speed limit was 65 MPH. I enjoyed it much more than I 70. I love the change of scenery when you get just east of Denver.

    Love seeing you and your wife bro. I love the fact that you are a God fearing and family man first. That includes Leonard, your sis, your daughter and nephew. True inspiration. This year my wife has been on a lot lately. Riding with the bros is becoming challenging. My wife and I are always on the same schedule. Riding with others always seem to make things later than it should be.

    We live in Missouri and travel to Colorado frequently. My wife wants someone to move Kansas out of the way and slide Colorado to Missouri! I admit it is a long way across the plains and it doesn’t matter whether it’s Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S. Dakota, or N. Dakota, it is a long journey across those states. However, the plains while seemingly boring to traverse have their own special beauty. Excellent Journey you are on. Safe travels to you and your wife!

We went from northern Minnesota to Glacier national, then east and west over the Rockies to New Mexico and back. Not a cross word was spoken. We seemed to me one person completely immersed in the moment for 14 days. Good luck Tall!

    2. That was not the old HD factory. It was by the KC airport.
    3. I get to live bi-curiously through you riding across the country.
    4 Which do you prefer, Road glide or Street glide?

I get a Street Glide like look when I want it and all the benefits of liguid cooled heads and a Tour Pak when I want it. Is it not cheaper to do that than to buy a Street Glide or Road Glide and outfit it like a Limited for Touring? Or is that not what you did?
