2012 Electra Glide Classic Trip!
September 16, 2011
First Ride from the store!
I fly to ND on 7/27/11 to pickup my new Harley and ride with Kevin to Sturgis.
Enchanted Highway
Kevin & I ride to the Enchanted Highway first and view the Metal Art along the 36 mile route. Pretty cool. Then on to Sturgis where Carol, Candace and Kyle met us for a couple of nights looking over the area and riding. It’s great fun to be riding the highway’s with my Brother! We had a great time and then off we go to Red Lodge, MT. Spent a quiet night there and then on to Great Falls, MT where we met Jerome & Diane and Scott & Teresa (Jerome’s sister). Scott & Teresa offered to house us over night and the next day all of us left on Harley’s to Coeur’dAlene, Idaho where we spent the night with my great friend’s “John & Connie Colwell”! We had a great meal and a great friendship after a wonderful day of riding.
The next day we left for Merlin’s house in Lakeside, MT where we stayed at his beautiful Lake house and met a large part of his family. They so graciously put us up for the night and fed all of us too. We had a wonderful time and I even fit in a boat ride with Merlin. It was great to finally meet Merlin & his family and get to spend a little time with them.
So on to Glacier Nat. Park where we rode through the park on the Sea to Sky Highway. It was very much under construction so the ride was slow with so much traffic and dust but the scenery was great. After getting through the park we decide to ride back to Great Falls. We got there late in the day again. Then it’s on home. We ride to Glendive one day and the last day a big day from there to Grand Forks about 550 miles. Total trip turned out to be 3,100 miles and I put 3,400 miles on the bike in two weeks. Whew!
