It's a harley thing.
Can't well have panniers on an "iron horse".
Just figured if anyone was going to try and google for them....

Not that I would but... the damage isn't bad enough for all that!!!


Any budget minded .org'er who's more interested in function than looks could probably pick up a set for postage.

I am serious. Come on over!
I promise some of the best roads anywhere in the world.

Will check on bike hire....might take me a day or two.
Work is insanely busy right now.

ok Bill you started it.........
make arrangements for about 100 plus brits coming across the pond to test out your roads…
bed and breakfast and bike hire….well bring the beer….
Might not be practicable for so many riders turning up at your door step,
BUT
It would be bloody hilarious …….

100???


Ahhhh....but they wouldn't be on my doorstep long.
A tour of the best roads would be an 1800+ mile round trip from my house.
Would be better just to meet you in North Carolina. (where the very best roads are)
Oh and yes, thank you, tours would be limited to a dozen or less riders.

This is America!
Cattle would stampede, old ladies would faint, pregnant women would go into labor, men would go crazy and little chrildren would run away from home... all from the sight of 100 bikes together... that were NOT Hardley Ableson's.

On the serious side.
If you can get a rough idea of the prices involved of bike hire and
accommodation's .
There could be a serious response..
Where would the trip be, roads / places etc…
Would one week be enough ?...

Great looking bike..still missing my old curvy..how about ar10 in the US? Probably not practical but a nice thought

well i tell you what, I want to visit the US, and if I could do it on a motorcycle, with even just a handfull of people from this forum

well, gee mister, that'd be swell

wouldnt mind a trip to the states either depending on prices? Would love to try out those roads.

Sounds like a volunteer for AR10

Wonder how much it would cost, how many bikes you could fit in, and how fast a shipping container can make it across the Atlantic
