While picking up a part at the local Harley shop the other day another customer told me about http://pashnit.com/ it may be helpful in planning your rides around the state. |
Thanks for the link, I'm looking forward to the road that goes east from Redding California thru Weaverville on thru to the coast. It's a beautiful drive, but never done that on a bike, that's why HOG has an annual event there every year

i think i like it so much because it reminds me of my first harley, the 1984.5 flh king of the road
that seat is fucking plush i bet too, but you lose the solo saddle option, no biggie though.
my latest harley was the dyna, i swore that was my fav hd, i got it to handle very well, but i really think the rk is my fav of the current lineup. although i'm of the right size to grab a sportie and turn tha fucker into a badass bobber rat bike
ride the snot outta that thang ven!
1984.5 flh electra-glide king of the road: ( i took the batwing off and the backpack and ran it lean and mean, well as lean and mean as a hd tourer can get!lol)
talk about a couch! i kept the original saddle on too, hah, i should try and drag up some pics of the one i had.

Yes, that Le Pera seat is nice, I looked it up and it's built for tall riders. Very comfortable.
You can take the rear rack, back rest and windshield off all in less than 5 minutes. Then the bike looks very different. I was puzzled by a switch I found, one switch next to it turned off the running lights, but this one did nothing. I went to my buddies new motorcycle shop here in Van Nuys and he told me that it was an ACC switch, LOL, I don't have any of those!
I'm having date night with the GF tonight at The Six,
http://thesixrestaurant.com/six/ she has been there I haven't, Lloyd will like this place, it has craft beers!
Anyone that has a bike and in LA that wants to ride, let me know. I'm going to MT Baldy this weekend for a buffet, going to be a good ride from the Valley
