They did a great job took care of us in a timely manner same day. I had the front wheelbearings replaced in Doathan Al. Called the Hogg line they got a rollback out to me and took it the HD shop there on a Friday after noon 30 min before closing and got me fixed and back on the road. 30 min of rain in 36 days was great.

Sounds like it was an amazing trip! :pepper:It's always nice to know that we have that network of dealers available to help when needed. Here's hoping that we have the same level of experience with such great service when on the road. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! :clapping:
 
I just assumed you took the scenic route with 90,500 miles. The REALLY scenic route. Sounds like a good trip. Only HD riders describe the trips with what dealers they needed to stop at. FYI. Las Vegas HD is good. Henderson HD, just south is great. And if you pass through Tucson, they are fabulous. Try to avoid Long Island if you need work. You might be here for quite a while.

I avoid anything that is east of the Delaware Water Gap and, north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
 
Thanks for sharing, I bet you had loads of fun. Nice pics too. Maybe some day the wife and I will get around to, at least, doing a one nighter trip.

You definitely need to. You have some nice riding right there in TN. We met up with some friends in Nashville in May. They rented a trike and we rode down the Trace a ways and then just cut across country. Spent one night at the Bear Creek Resort in Clifton and then meandered back to Nashville. Wife and I had loads of fun
