took her out to my local HD as I had some time at home finally. They were playing Clutch. They win for best dealer around haha
also bought a shirt.
And 2 weeks ago I went to 4 of the 5 in the SD area, Badlands, Wall, Sturgis, and Deadwood.
While in Deadwood someone parked their car behind ours, and theirs caught fire.







Turns out Sebrings burn very hot. melted the back of our rental.

I removed my saddlebags for the first time and discovered the bike has Progressive brand 13" suspension in the rear, do you think the previous owner did this or did they come this way?

Took a ride up to Wisconsin Dells to meet up with an old Army buddy who I haven't seen in over seven years. Had a great time catching up and the trip was my first 200-mile riding day.

At least it was a rental and not your own car/truck.
