    Lol.
    Have fun. Which route are taking? Are you riding or towing? Do you have you're Steele toe reservations? What hotel are you staying in?

    My bike is the vivid black one.

    They positively charge the metal and negatively charge the powder coat so when they spray the powder on it sticks and spreads evenly. Then they back the pieces. It's a process as they bath the frame in some chemical liquid.

    You are gonna have your mind blown...it was the best experience I've had in a long time. It seems the older I get the harder it is to be impressed. The tour, the grounds were amazing. Bring extra money for the hd plant gift shop. Good stuff.

    Wish we would have paid the extra and stayed at an nicer hotel. The days inn sucked. We were on the second floor no elevator. No problem other the shit ton of luggage. And the breakfast was sparse. And tour buses pulling in everyday and who clogged and hogged the breakfast.

    We went about 4 years ago maybe 5 on a Friday. It was the first Friday that they decided to shut down production. They never notified our HOG chapter so our reservation for the tour allowed us to be escorted through a closed plant ( the s o b 's) the Hampton is nice. I always used them on all my business and personal trips over the years. Never was disappointed. LaQuinta is also on my good list.

    There was a Laquita across from the days inn. We had done somthing different this trip...we booked thru expedia and prepaid on paypal. Won't do that again. Trying to save money and not have to worry about hotels with no vancancies. All the hotels were full when we got there.

    HOG membership not required but must ride a Harley. Currently we have top rocker with club name. Still using HOG center until decide on design. We are an AMA chartered club but members don't have to be AMA members
