total of about 280 for the weekend. Also got the wife on the back yesterday for the first time on this bike. She did well and settled in quickly, as did I. Really surprising how little you can even tell someone is on the back.
It was t-shirt weather today so I did an easy 120. One of those no destination things just ride. They recommend doing an oil change after 500 miles when you do an S.E. kit so I guess I'm there now. Bike rips *** and the kit went off without any snags.
Another 20 + miles, this time two up with my wife, Shovelhead is all good and back in the rotation. Buddy of mine recommended a Turkish restaurant to us last week, we checked it out last night, food was excellent. Hostess inside literal came over to the table to compliment my bike, girls like shiny blue bikes. I do not understand, but all the bikes I have had over the years, the Blue Chrome ***** gets 4x more attention than any other bike. Including the '46. Ladies like shiny!??!?!?!? Body shop that painted the front fender for me, stopped there first to thank them again for the good work. Get the Adana Kebab
Also stopped off the get her inspected, first time in 2 years, who knew.

We really had a great team that helped this event go very smoothly. Everyone worked hard, stayed busy and had a good time doing it. I enjoyed getting to know more of the HOG members better. Not much time for pictures. We had a huge day Sunday with two groups going out back to back all day long. Between staging the bikes, keeping them fueled, switching over passenger back rests as needed as well as leading and riding sweep there was not a lot of time for pictures.
All the pictures below are loading up the bikes after the event. We had a good system and had all 15 bikes in and strapped down in one hour flat. I was chosen to be the lift gate operator. We had a ground crew coordinator getting the bikes lined up in proper order and the team riding the bikes on and helping with straps.
