I'm down with Option 2....but it kills me to know that a purple HD is gonna lead a bunch of Vulcans at a VBA Rally.....

Don't think of it as being led as much as chasing him out of the state.

were following him so we can pick up all the broken parts!

CJ's bike is like Rudolph's nose....makes sense to have him in front....easy to see.

Think of it as an entourage ....the focal point is never in the front. Ali was always led into the arena, so was Reagan, and the Pope too.

Although having Barney leading the pack you might get alot of people looking for the bearded lady....just tell them her name is Kris.

Yeah, yeah...keep yucking it up you clowns. You probably won't be able to keep up with me, except for Trosco on his GW.

When Jared asked if I'd help out, I asked him if he really wanted a Harley leading the pack. He didn't seem to mind.

blowndodge · 05-11-2012, 12:37 AM

he's young what do you expect?

trosco · 05-11-2012, 09:28 AM

CJ, I like the loop idea also.
And if you get your bike real dirty they may not notice the purple passion that it emits. Then you could also stuff towels in both pipes and make it sound like a Nomad???

JMHO, CJ's "Barney Davidson" looks a lot nicer in person than on the meager forum photos.

Option 2

cactusjack · 05-15-2012, 11:46 AM

It sounds like option #2 wins by popular vote.

This should be a real nice ride. Hwy 89 N from Kanab to where we turn off to go to Bryce has a max of 55MPH, and we will pass through several small towns along the way where we will rigidly observe the posted speed limit. These little towns are known for their vigorous revenue generation efforts.

The scenery will change from high desert to forest with lots of red rock formations. Not sure what the loop after we leave Bryce holds for us, it's been many years since I've been up that way, but the scenery should be good.

There shouldn't be anything real challenging on this ride, just a nice easygoing weekday ride. It should be very enjoyable.

Sounds like it will be a really nice loop. I am counting the minutes till I can get out of this office and head south.

CJ, I finally hung the bell you sent. I now have double protection. One in front of each floorboard.

I guess two bells are better than one? I have the one you gave me, so far it's done its job!

There shouldn't be anything real challenging on this ride because I lack any perceptual riding skills period! just a nice easygoing weekday ride. It should be very enjoyable.

If you say so??
