Hard working (some church-going) guys who do, in fact, ride their bikes cross country; no trucking or pretending involved. My x-brother- in-law (church guy) rides 600 miles every week and has for close to twenty years (weather permitting). Ann's son, Tyler (a lineman - not church), rode to Sturgis a couple times; and regularly rode from LA to Las Vegas. Ann's brother also rides; church going fellow; probably nearer to your trucking-his-bike any significant distance type. Tomorrow kicks off the Harley 105th Anniversary right here in Milwaukee. We'll certainly see some of your trucked-in types. Yet, we'll also see a fair quantity of fully packed, rode weary warriors - who're not part of the 1% I think you're referring to. I live about 3 miles from one of the premiere dealers and the roar has already begun; one about every 5 - 10 minutes, down Mequon Road.
