  • This ride is for my mom.
    Went north mostly following 42 north up the lake shore (Lake Michigan) to Sturgeon Bay in Door County. Came back south down the other side of the peninsula mostly following 57 south skirting Green Bay down through Keil to 23 east and back home to Sheboygan. Those were the main highways I rode.
    Rose was a dream, no issues whatsoever with this Softail. Was a bit disappointed with the mpg but that could well improve as I get used to riding her. Very comfortable saddle, balance is great, and that sixth gear is awesome with the 96 cubic inch engine. Plenty of power for how I will be riding and plenty to spare. Can't say how fast we went, I plead the fifth on that.
    Tried the helmet mount for the GoPro, the chest mount all you can see is my windscreen bag. Lots of problems with the Go Pro getting knocked askew by the 40-mph crosswind I had all the way north, and south for that matter.
    I left a segment not resized so you can see just how far I had to straighten some video because of it. I had to edit out a lot of useless videos, unless of course you enjoy spending long periods looking at nothing but sky because that was all that was left after cutting things out to straighten the video.
    Anyway, I think I figured out some solutions for the GoPro and other recording problems for down the road.
    Enjoy the ride, I know I did, even if I did have to race a thunderstorm home. Great footage of that by the way.
