Sounds like a cool trip. Did you take pictures at Don Garlits?

We took pictures with 4 cameras. 3 were disposable then also my digital. Every picture came out with Colored Snow Sparkles in them so you can barely see the hot rods. I figured they had some IR Lights in there or something. Just curious if yours did the same?

06Ultra, I checked a few months back with Amtrak on whether they had one running thru the Twin Cities to Glacier during the summer, and they told me they only do it on the east coast. I thought it'd be fun to skip going thru North Dakota on the bike!

Electricjaws: I didn't have any problem with windshield height. I havethe stock windshield on the Ultra. If you look at the picture in my post where they've loaded the bike onto the train, you can see there's plenty of clearance. I saw that height restriction as well, but forgot about it. They load SUVs on these trains, so bikes are much shorter.

Rev00: I took about 10 shots in Don Garlits with a Sony digital. They all came out fine.

Cost on the trip for 2 people in the small sleeper cabin plus the bike was 900 and change.
