DAY TWO: POWER RIDE
We pulled in to La La Crescenta, Ca, after 13 hours A great highway ride. A big part of this trip—the central event, really—is catching up with people. Richelle is in LA all June and July, so coming out was a no brainer, but as I got to thinking about all the people I …
Day One: Coalville, UT
The Mighty Harley Davidson Low Rider ST. It has a sweet spot at 92mph. Phew! First, I have to give my heartfelt thanks to the tremendous team at High Country Harley Davidson. They’ve been my local shop since I guess 2009. I rolled up and the owner, Scott, saw my face and had the bike …

Back in the Saddle
Location: Green River, Utah. Milage: 675 Current State: Edging toward bed. What came of the Rocket Sled? Wither Kuskin and his trip to Los Angeles?
