Sturgis, the Tail of the Dragon, and Spirit Lake, Iowa. Our riders are living the Victory dream.
Kevin's last ride of the season landed him at the big-daddy of motorcycle rallys, Sturgis. In pure Fury style, his ride is the perfect setting for his stories of the riders of old. Yeehaa! Don and Dean both tamed the infamous Tail of the Dragon, where they took on the twisties and won. Sydney (aka FishWitch) took Traveling Tigger with her on her ride from California to Oregon, and
Allison, Brandon and Dick pointed their Victorys north to end up at the American Victory Rally in Spirit Lake, Iowa. With summer coming to an end, our riders have no intention of slowing down. Check out their stories of the road.

Trip 3 - Folsom to MedfordI started my trip off on Saturday morning and with my destination being Redding, Ca. I had decided to go up one of my favorite cruiser roads, Highway 70 which goes by Lake Oroville and up the the Feather River Canyon following the river the entire way. This road is alot of fun. Nothing real challenging, but nice sweepers and fantastic scenery. In the past I have actually seen eagles fishing and needless to say, doing better than the fly fisherman in the area.

Trip 4 - Redding on the SpineI never truly believed that I would see anywhere in the lower forty-eight that was no-man's land. We did. Heading south from the Tri-Cities in Washington through Pendelton, OR on Hwy 395 proved me wrong. After some incredible twisties through Battle Mountain the curves descended into a long, straight stretch of road that seemingly lasted forever. Don't. Fall. Off.

Trip 4 – Out of This WorldThis is a scheduled rest day; we parked the bikes Tuesday night and won’t plan on loading them again until Thursday morning. If you have been following along, the average mileage for the last 4 days has been 456 miles a day. The longest day so far was 495 miles. In temperatures hovering at 104 to 113 degrees I expected a case of monkey butt from being in the saddle for long hot runs. Not so with the Cross Country. This bike is set up for touring; the designers knew what they were doing with the combination of control height, seat, engine, transmission, and cantilever shock design to provide a smooth ride and rider position to handle what the American roads throw at you on a true road trip.
