Grant, I like the way you think!
Got back from my trip last night Huntsville - Boston - Huntsville in 7 days
3 of which were business so....3K miles in 4 days two up on my Royal Star
and Bushtec trailer in tow sight-seeing is not bad. By no means it's iron
butt rally but not bad for an XX year old :-)). Needless to say my Star
kicked HD hinney throughout the trip, poor fellers still fail to see the
real reason we ride them which is....drum rolls please....GOOD ENGINEERING
& RELIABILITY.
Best part of the trip -> Yamaha/Bushtec engineering, John Harvard's Brew
house, Kentucky/Tennessee rolling hills, no tickets, the sunshine on our
backs.
Worst part of the trip -> Buffalo NY & over commercializing of Niagara
Falls, northern weather/traffic.
Next time it'll be the GTS's turn to do its duty. In the mean time all y'all
snow birds move on down south....trust me!!
George knows of what he speaks
