Harley Mom's Guestbook

Wow, the way you described all the sites and historical places, really makes me want to see them as well. I love history and learning who's who and where its at in each of the states I have lived in. I'm in Arkansas now, but as a child lived in Mo. for awhile. What a great wealth of history there and in Kansas. Hopefully one day, I can view the sites too. Happy to read what a fun time everyone had. Love the photos posted, the one of Sam was funny and like others I have seen of travelers catching a few zzz's on their bikes. Most men seem like they can sleep anywhere. Remarkable story about the gravesite of David Rice Atchison! I never fail to learn something new when I read your blogs. That would be a great question for The Jeopardy Game! Lots of local stories here too of the James brothers and their hideouts in hollows and caves in these parts. Oh but if only the land around us could talk and tell more stories. Thanks Cindy for another mind and thought stirring blog. Ride safe and happy bloggin'.

What a fun dedicated group of people you all are. I enjoyed the story and reading about how much behind the scenes work goes on to make a run and function like this successful. Thank God for individuals who have time to sponsor The annual Poppy Drives. I realize how much funds are needed by the organization for all that they do and provide to veterans. Years ago, my late husband spent time in several VA hospitals, one being Walter Reed and another in New Orleans. I remember all the things they provided for him and so many other patients. So to realize just how many people it takes all over the country to provide such things is massive dedication. I applaud all that your group does. Thanks so much for the updates here.

Nice Trip
Enjoyed reading your travel notes. I stumbled upon your blog because four of us are going to the KC Harley plant in June '07 and I too will be trying to obtain the coveted "X" for the ABC point. I'll be watching for more of your articles! Keep 'em coming. hognitro-1450@yahoo.com

I purchased a 2005 Harley Davidson 883 Low Sportster (Effie) in FEB 05 and I travel all over the country with it. In 2005 we travelled 25K miles to 34 states. 42K miles in 2006 (48 states, 9 Canada provinces). I was the winner of the 2006 ABC's of Touring an annual competition held by Harley Owners Group. The first person (and so far the only person) to win it solely using a Sportster. I slacked off in 2007 with only 21K miles (21 states). 2008 had more pleasure trips only 19K miles, only 14 states and 1 Canada province. As 2015 comes around I have 152K miles on Effie. The purchase of this... full info
