Is there a sissy-bar in there?

That would be cool!

That looks like an amazing trip. I love a road trip! Are you running solo or do you have someone running with you? More pics and details please!

Alas, no sissy bar hidden in there-maybe the Harley "blackline" catalog has one with an iron cross and some spiderwebs built into it that I can order. that would complete the ensemble and help me project the proper image

regretfully no additional photo's were taken.

I meet up with a friend for about 1/2 of the week and ride solo the other 1/2. this scenario has worked out good for the last 4 years. this was the first year on the Buell. tough to beat the west coast for riding. BC, Washington and Northern California anyway. Oregon speed limits are too low and that whole illegal to pump your own gas is something I can't get used to.

Hey Mike, good to know I am not the only Buell owner suffering in curve free Alberta. I don't get to the east side of Edmonton much living in the "Grove" so hopefully you have some better roads out that way. might be able to put a ride together later this summer?
