David and I rode the Natchez trace parkway from Natchez to Jackson, here are a few pictures of it. The other guys on dual sports went off and did some back roading...I will let them post their ride (especially since I don't have it).

Ive ridden the Trace Pkwy from Nashville to Natchez.... The part nearer Nashville is a bit curvy for sure

Views of downtown Vicksburg. Beautiful town.

Some selected views of David’s Harley receiving some TLC from Gary and Joe. The gear shift splines stripped out and Gary was able to apply some genius level rigging to make it work for the rest of the trip. All it cost was a set of SAE Allen wrenches from the auto parts store at $8.99, my new glasses (don’t leave your glasses on your top case when you take off and have them run over by the next car to pass) $500+, watching the BMW guys fixing your Harley in downtown Vicksburg....priceless!

Ending odometer for me. 997.6 miles.

This was a fantastic trip, the company was great. Things didn’t go 100% to plan but it still came off perfectly. I came away with a complete love of my RT, never can express what a stellar job that bike did on this trip.

What’s next folks?

I guess it gives me something to be mad at myself about for the next few months.

Steve and I had a great time as well! Pretty much perfect weather and awesome riding companions add up to a fantastic time. We'll just put you permanently in charge of organizing weekend rides Kevin. When do we go down under?

I had a great time. This was a good trip and a lot of history to take in. Thanks again to Gary and Joe the BMW mechanics.
