Just got back from my summer tour of the west and broke 10k in 24 days! Amazing to think that would be more than 5 years riding for some! Anyway rode pacific Hwy 1 from south of Sacramento up to Oregon with many stops on the way. Did Taho, Yosemite, the Redwoods, Yellowstone and more. BTW Coastal Hwy 1 makes the tail feel like a trainer course! I even had to put a second tire on at Pierre. Tried the Cobra Venom and at just under 10k full cords and rubber delamination ,, yikes. But the friendly HD dealer helped me out by selling me an E3 for just shy of 5 bills. Friendly guy,,, Ha Took a long time to get done because the techs were so busy looking over my Vision! Then he took it for a ride an said "WOW,, that rides awesome and the power!" I just chuckled! Life is good my friends!

Glad you had a good trip. Are you saying he sold you one tire for just shy of $500 ? That tire cost $213.95 unmounted and $40 to mount at my shop.

Very nice..As stated above, wish I had the time. Maybe, one day. Otherwise I'm stuck doing weekend trips at most like the majority of us. Sounds like a blast. Can't beat PCH for sure. Vlad.
