Harley Davidson Travel Blog . . . and thoughts along the journey

As you probably guessed, the weather is still great . . . and I am meeting lots of people. Today I talked to a couple from China, Mr. & Mrs Li Tianhua, who now live in Japan. Believe it or not, but they did not speak any English and of course I was not able to talk to them Chinese or Japan. But we were able to talk for quite some time with hand motions and ‘sounds’ that are understandable in any language. I 'told' them about my trip to China in 1998 and they 'told' me about their first impressions of the USA.

I thought I let you know some highlights of my trip from Eaton to Las Vegas:

1. Best road to travel on a Harley Davidson: State Rd. 60 from Socorro, NM to Springerfield, AZ & St. Rd. 98 in NV
2. Best interstate to travel on (if you have to) : I-40 from Flagstaff, AZ to Kingman, AZ
3. Friendliest people I met: Memphis, TN
4. Best hamburgers to eat: At “Manny’s” in San Antonio, NM
5. Most expensive gas: $3.56 for super unleaded . . . somewhere in NM

. . . . and there you got it.

One more thing: I left this morning around 9:30 A.M. to go to the Las Vegas Strip and saw a guy at the slot machine . . . .when I cam back at 5:00 P.M. the guy was still sitting there . . . OK!
