Thanks for sharing the pics and story.&nbsp\\; Glad you and your Mom had a great trip.&nbsp\\; The memories you made and share will be worth the wrath of your wife.
and I'll bet she won't stay upset for long.

Great pics. Recognize some of them.&nbsp\\;Route 66 H-D is right here in Tulsa. And been to the Cadillac Graveyard outside of Amarillo. Hopefully, you had a chance to go to Palo Duro Canyon just South of Amarillo.

Well, it was easier than I thought, ...... I just dumped a load of cash on the table and took orf.

Now,..... what more could a woman want?


And, no, didn't make it to the Palo Duro Canyon Danny, but loved that whole area. That Tulsa Dealership had amazing staff, we were shooting it for ages in there.

Didn't buy loads of stuff there, maybe 80-100 bucks\\\\\\; but they gave us as we were leaving loads of gifts. Couldn't believe that. The girls all kept on hugging my Mom. Lol. She liked that.

It was there that I learnt about that bell thing that goes on the bottom of the bike, we don't have that in Europe, noone's even heard of it. Anyhow, my Mom bought me a really nice silver one with Route 66 HD on it. Thought that was a fitting one for the trip. It was one of the girls that suggested it. ......Real nice.

Great pics and story. You should have stopped by Mother Road Harley Davidson in Kingman AZ. Very nice people there. Bought 2 bikes there from Reagan. Good salesman and nice guy.

Wow, they wouldn't even come out and talk to me when I was looking for a bike to buy, maybe I'm uglier than I thought.....

We did. Nice place, got a load of shirts, hoodies etc from there.&nbsp\\; Funny, a load of what I guess you guys would call one percentiles turned up but only one went in. .....straight to the service desk and ordered some freakin' o ring or something, well, it was very small, whatever it was. As the guy was tilling it up he said, that'll be............ uh, you know what, that'll be on the house. Lol. Must have been 50 cents or something. Guy gives him a 1/4 of a nod and walks. I guess the 1/4 of a nod was translated as ...... Thanks man.&nbsp\\; Funny.

Anyhow, we took a detour when we hit Kingman, and hooked a right to Vegas. Damn near ran outta gas too, hell, not one freakin' gas stop from Kingman to that dam place. (Hoover Dam) Thing was blinking for miles.
