Thoughts Following My First Camping Tour on a Harley

When fully loaded, two up, you can ground the exhaust pipe on a wide-glide

The shock absorbers on the rear of the '99 wide-glide are adjustable (RTFM)

When wearing shorts on an HD do not let bare skin come in contact with hot exhausts pipes

After receiving a severe burn one day, do not do exactly the same bloody thing on the exact same spot the next day.

When speeding along narrow twisty, Devon roads with 15ft high hedgerows, combined harvesters use up the whole width of the road .

On the same roads, normal cars take up the whole width of the road.

Earplugs do not just deaden the sound of the bike and wind noise but also that of approaching cars and combined harvesters.

On similar roads in Yorkshire, racehorses take up the whole width of the road

If the special transparent dressing you put on a burn has swelled up with green pus it's probably best to remove it 5 days earlier than you eventually do.
