    Welcome to the 2 wheel world. We both ride Harleys and travel to the large bike rallies. We travel with a Diesel pusher pulling a 30ft trailer. We have all of our toys. Harleys, Corvette, golf cart and 2 electric bikes. We enjoy your channel and hopefully see you two in our travels. We aren't full time but travel 4mos a year. Safe travels

    Good to see you are dressed for the slide and not the ride Bubba. We had a similar set-up with a Riggs carrier for our lab puppy that is now 80 lbs. There is probably a small trailer in our future for our “Bunny”. My H-D Limited is our grocery getter as we are in a motorhome. It is a little challenging, but we go to the store every 2-3 days due to limited storage space anyway. The best way to see our great Country is via motorcycle and taking your pup along gives greater freedom because there is less worry about getting back to camp on a time schedule. Our motorcycles are great ministry tools and taking a dog along is just another conversation starter. Safe travels and God bless.

    We agreed right off the bat that we would only do this if we were outfitted with proper safety gear. We can see how this type of travel would help with your ministry. We get so much attention when we're out and about, especially with Lulu on board. We need to get better at sharing God's word in our conversations with others. God bless you and all you do.

    Wow, Bubba you must of really did some talking. Cindy has told me no bike. I've been trying for over fours years and have moved her from NO to I might think about a Spider only. Problem is I used to race motocross so it's like a drug to me. And her foot is squarely put down. Kate Diffently get some training. And it may sound dumb. But ride with full protection gear. A close friend laid his down the other morning on the way to work. Was not wearing full leathers, gloves, or riding boots. Basically had his helmet on. Ended up totaling the bike and road rash all over. Thank God no broken bones. But he stated after that that from now on it's full leathers and gear. He doesn't care how hot it is. When I road I wore full leathers, chest protector, riding boots ect. Noticed on one of the HDTs that some one has a tiltable platform for there bike and it runs off of a drill. It picks up his bike and lowers it so he doesn't have to walk or ride his bike up on the deck We are getting closer to getting out there. Picked up the deck and fifth wheel hitch for Xtream. Now we have to get it all installed and painted. Still working on the sticks and bricks. Going in to the winter season. Wanted to be on the road by this fall but looking more like next spring.

    We originally talked about getting a Harley trike and a trailer (maybe Cindy would go for that?). Then we decided we wanted the ability to explore dirt roads and places off the beaten path, so we chose the adventure bikes. We agree about the safety gear, I wasn't allowed to go near the bike until I had my helmet, boots that protected my ankles, gloves and a padded jacket. We still need riding pants but we have most of it covered. I did take a motorcycle safety course, which was extremely helpful (and I was able to present my certificate to South Dakota to get my motorcycle endorsement, so I'm even legal now lol). Sorry to hear you're delayed in getting on the road, but spring will be a beautiful time to start out. Plus, it gives you more time to get everything in order, which can feel like a lot. Glad to hear you have a light at the end of your tunnel for full timing!
