Loaded Up, Show us your bike out on the road...

Post by England-Kev »

I just got my 62 Pan all road registered today, ready for use in 2016, looking forward to attending a few rallies out and about. I think bikes look best when loaded for a trip, so show us you bike all loaded up and out on the road...

Okay, here's one..................
Back when I was single and rode everywhere solo, with my long-time riding partner (who took this photo).
This is my trusty old shovelhead, that took me anywhere I wanted to go and back home again.
This was just East of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, headed West.............
(notice the date)

That was kinda fun, digging back in time.
Here's another one, this one was in 1986. Still riding the first Harley I ever owned, my old '41 panhead chopper.
Just to show, I used to bag down that old chopper and go anywhere and everywhere.
This was on our way to Jellystone Park. Really hot, stopped for brewskies.
The bike in the foreground is my partner's '75 Superglide, that he fatbobbed.

I could fast-forward about 3 decades to more modern times and find some newer pics, but these old ones are kinda fun..........

Fast forward to 2015. This is about as packed down as I get now. Under the canopy at Hampton Inn where I camp now.

I'm technically "out on the road" but the road is just in front of my house.
I'm on my 48-ish panhead.

I put a primary cover on after the picture was taken. I have a set of saddlebags that came with my WL, so could put them on the Panhead.
