1546 miles, 4 states, 5 great friends, but no value in the HD mothership HOG event called the “battle cry”. $425 per person, and we got a $20 shirt.. a $5 hat, $3 worth of cheap tin coins to advertize HOG. Rider planner had errors. No evening events, dealerships did more than MOCO to make folks feel welcome. 150th anniversary of the Civil War… 1 event offered on the ride….. One location listed has not been open in 20 years (civil war museum in Salisbury NC) kind of makes me think the planners never rode the ride. This will be my last Harley national ride, they cleared over 120K off us and did nothing …… could have planned a better event over morning coffee. BUT….. 6 days away from the rat race, 1546 miles or blue ridge, dragon, great smokey mtn, cherohala, and skyline drive on the way home…. Outstanding……
