I just got back from a 6K road trip on my Gold Wing. I 25/I 80 Denver to Rock Springs. I 84 Boise to Portland and I 80/I 25 Reno to Denver. In between was secondary roads in Oregon and California. I did a total of just over 1700 mi. of Interstate and 4400 mi. secondary roads, (mostly in Cali). I saw 22 Prevo's, 3 eagles, 1 MCI, 1 4104, and 1 Schooly. All were seen on the Interstate highways. The first day I saw 17 of the Prevo's heading east on I 80. Prolly headed for Sturgis. (all were towing a trailer).
Where are all the poor/regular people ? (just kidding)

Oh we are out here, you just have to find us. :) We ran into the same GM in Birch Bay Wa. and then in Sunriver OR. a few weeks later. Have seen one or two other old ones going down the road too......don't really pay much attention to Prevos though.
Don & Sheila,
Several years ago we were camped west of Sturgis. A large motorhome pulling an enclosed trailer pulled in that evening next to us. In the morning they unloaded their Harley from the trailer. They then got all dressed-up in their riding gear and rode on in to Sturgis as though they had traveled thousands of miles on the bike. I imagine the "real bikers" had them figured out.
We enjoyed all the bikes and had a great time visiting the area. Especially Custer State Park.

p.s. I love Gold Wings, but at my age I'd need a trike. It's been many years since I've ridden and then it was dirt bikes. But, always wanted a Gold Wing for a highway bike. Guess running a business and five children got in the way!!
