Looks very good. You would have to look pretty closely to tell that the case was so busted up before.

Yea we made it back Sunday aroun 4pm. We drove three days straight from Sturgis down through Cheyenne to Denver we crossed into the Rockies when we hit rain and we stopped at a little town called South Horn Colorado, we found a great little steak restaurant called the Mint Steakhouse. The next morning was beautiful through Colorado and Utah, amazing landscapes from the Colorado Rocky Mountains these incredible plateaus in Mesa, and buttes, we hit more rain the next day they two we made it all the way to St. George,. They three was on Sunday and that was from St. George Utah through Vegas and it was 117. I got home I got bronchitis from the trip , and I’ve been resting now on meds. I to use trash bags as rain suit. Here’s a few pics of the 2003 road king my buddy let me borrow and some trip highlights

Yes. He does cases and anything hd. He’s actually a doctor in metallurgy.

It sounds like you had a 60s-70s adventure in the 2020s. Thanks for telling us about it.
