Dallas-El Paso-Dallas...Harley!

So, Evan and I both bought new to us Harleys. Me a Street Glide, Evan a Road Glide. The bikes are in El Paso, so a plane flight is needed, then ride the bikes back to Dallas.

So, Day 1, starts with the usual GREAT mood waking up at 4:40am. Let Mort out, and catch a ride to Love Field for a 7:00am flight. After Evan set off the metal detector a couple times, we were free to board.

Plane. Board. Seat. Taxi. Take off.
Good Morning Sun! Good Night Evan :)

Plane. Land. Taxi. Exit plane. Jessica gives us a ride to the dealership where we wait, for 45 minutes for them to open. Ha.

Finally open. We go in, long story short, we get our bikes, reimbursed for plane tickets, some free shirts. We load up the bikes, we gear up and hit I-10 EAST!

We did 320miles our first day. 3 stops gas/coffee/heat. Ended the day in Midland, TX at Texas Roadhouse for a steak, then to the hotel. It's 940p and I'm exhausted. Haha. More tomorrow!! 

Day Two

So we stayed the night in Midland, had a steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and then hit the hotel.
Woke up to 33* and heavy fog, with a nice drizzle added for fun.  Loaded up, bundled up and headed 
toward Big Spring Texas.  Home of the oldest Harley dealership in Texas.  Looks like great weather huh??

We ain't cold!!

From here, we just hammered down and headed for Dallas.  Stopped a couple times to thaw out,
and hydrate, fill up and back at it.  Never really got about 35* all day.  Got back to Dallas around 6:30.
