Preparing for the cross country Road Trip
Well I have been super swamped with night school and work so I haven’t been preparing for my trip or posting much for that matter. Now that I have managed to free up some more time and prioritize better, I will be getting back on track with the postings. This weekend I logged about 175 miles touring Windham County Connecticut and northwestern Rhode Island. The views of the backwoods and farmland where great and the lil’ mill towns for all of you antique shop lovers were good as well. The roads themselves were in average condition with plenty of sand still on the more rural sections. I’ll see if I can map it out for everyone in case you want to try the route. It’s definitely worth the tour.
In other news I made some purchases in anticipation of the road trip. Like a fool I sold all my sissy bars and side plates a few years back when I was customizing my bike. Now I am buying it all back so I can have somewhere to mount all my luggage for the trip. Don’t get me wrong I am still a fan of the strip down look and a minimalist at heart but, luggage is a necessity for where I am going.
This weekends purchases-
HARLEY Side plates and a mid sissy Bar
HARLEY 2 BAG LUGGAGE SYSTEM
Few weeks ago I bought fox creek leathers saddle bags
Here is a Photo of how it will probably be looking on the ride
