    I got the new issue (May June) of Hog Tales today. I consider myself a pretty seasoned biker. I haven' put less than 10K on a bike in a lot of years...and have done 25K. Buttoday I was HUMBLED. I did the ABC's of touring and did OK made 15 states and racked up 67 points. But this lady from Kansas City KS...Damn I stand in awe. She made ALL 48 of the continental states, nine Canadian provinces, 20 state HOG rallies and racked up almost 43,000 miles riding alone, holding a full time job....and riding an 883 sporty! DAMN!!!! I take my hat off to this lady....what an experience.
