Michael, I think you are right! Again, God sent someone to our rescue...your comment reminded me of the time we were riding in PA at the back of a group ride and Tommy kept saying there was something wrong with his tire...can't remember if it was front or back...middle of the Allegheny National Forest, no cell service and the group didn't realize we were missing, lol. We pulled into this almost empty parking lot of a restaurant which was closed. There was the nicest man sitting in his Jeep waiting for his brother in law to show up...the only soul around...and he just happened to have a portable air compressor. In those days, we didn't ride with jump packs and plug kits like we do now. But pretty sure that wasn't a coincidence! Yep, the ol Harley falls over but stands up all by itself lol.

I avoid dirt roads on he Spyder - I'm concerned about stones being caught in the belt and damaging it. For the same reason as well as the instability I avoided dirt roads on my Kawasaki Voyager. If it fell over it was way to heavy to lift. You were lucky help came along.

Yes, Roger, we were blessed to have the two gentleman stop to help us for sure! For the most part, we avoid dirt roads too, but sometimes it can't be helped. This we definitely could have avoided by turning around and heading back to the interstate. Here at home our driveway is gravel and 2/10 mile long so have to do that no matter what, lol. In Alaska and the Yukon, actual roads are limited so if you travel there, you can count on gravel. Thankful we had no issues for sure! I know when I took my MSF course way back when, we had to dump our bikes and learn to pick them back up but they were just little 250's. The big old Harley and your Voyager would be two different things for sure! Hope you are doing well and have a great week!🤗🙏💜
