My Superglide broke down so instead of letting a dealer mess with it and sitting in a motel I called a Penske dealer near Sacramento that was a customer of mine. The manager sent out a mechanic with a pickup truck and trailer. Now a scheme began to cook in my little brain. I rented a straight truck with air brakes and air ride. Since I broker my own loads, checked the load board. 4 pallets of a special brew, snake piss or some such, that was all the rage with spring breakers needed to go to Wilmington, N.C. Stopped at the Budweiser plant in Ft. Collins,CO. and picked up the load. They have thire own scales there and it was light anyway. Bought a paper log book at a truck stop and had a fresh 70 hours to run with.That load paid for the trip,fuel, truck rental,motels and parts for my bike.
Eastbound and down!!
