In the continuing saga about will our Roadies hold up. I certainly believe it! I took my 07 Road Star from Houston,Tx all the way to Havelock NC for the fourth of July week to visit my daughter who is in the Marine Corp stationed at Cherry Point Air Station. Going thru Louisiana, Mississippi, then resting for awhile in Piedmont, Alabama. I went thru Georgia, South Carolina then of course North Carolina. AND BACK!!! Not one ounce of electrical and or mechanical problems what so ever. Scarlet (the name of my bike because that is the best color for a bike.... RED! right DOC? ) She just purred and purred the whole way. If there be any doubt as to these 1600/1700 engines being able to take it.... there shouldn't be. The heat was a killer and yes I hit two very hard storms on the way back, one around 2:00 pm just east of Atlanta and again just before 5:00 in Birmingham. The Pro R Hypercharger did NOT falter.

Glad you made it there and back safe I've got a jarhead buddie at Cherry Point Hes a firefighter on the airfield, so hes got it made as long as no one crashes

Cool man glad you and the bike made it back safe and sound and you had a good vist. BTW tell your daughter thanks for her service.

wow! Kuddos to you for sure! I trailered my bike from Houston to Asheville NC where we started our vacation. We stayed there w/ relatives for several days then I rode from Asheville to Wilmington NC where we're here now (actually Holden Beach) for another week or so. Bike has been running fine but I've developed a squeak that I'm chasing down. You sure have me beat for a long dist road trip though. I would have done just the bike but I've got the family w/ me and my wife wouldn't drive that whole way by herself.

I was at Camp Lejune so long ago... back to the world from 'Nam.... Wow... North Carolina, I had forgotten it.

Tell your daughter Semper Fi for me!

And thank you for your service Lakecharles.

You came through Atlanta and didn't let some of us Georgia Boys buy you a "Heavyweight, Strings and a big F.O. at The Varsity???? For Shame! Next time you're through here ( or any of you rascals for that matter) we gotta chow down.

My bad Mark7, I'll remember next time, and there will be a next time. I loved the ride and the visit. BTW, Georgia is a beautiful state, a blessing to the Union.

I live 20 minutes away from Cherry Point, in Beaufort. Good luck to your buddy, around here we call the Harriers "Carolina Lawn Darts."

Once you have these beasts running well they'll run forever.

Good to hear the trip went well ... I'm going to have to get down there some day as those are the some of the only states I've yet to visit.
