The bikes left Hanson Brothers Shipping on July 24 (see below photo) and arrived on schedule at Boston Harley Davidson in Everett.  Step one completed successfully thanks to Chris’s yeoman efforts lining up a shipper and taking care of the logistics – – – – THANKS CHRIS!!

I leave on the red eye to Boston Wednesday night so am focused on getting last minute items taken care of and my bags packed for the trip.  My list keep getting longer which is not a good sign.  Most important is to make certain that I take my passport, or else I will be doing a lot of solo riding around New England!  John has already arrived and picked up his bike at Boston Harley and is now enjoying  some of New England two up with Patti.  Chris and Jerry will fly back on Wednesday and pick up their bikes.  If all goes well, all except me will rendezvous at the Residence Inn in Chelsea Wednesday night with an early departure Thursday morning to begin our ride north.  I arrive at Logan Airport at 7:30am Thursday and will go directly to the Harley dealer to get my bike and head north solo.  Plan to meet up with the others in Ellsworth, ME that evening.  Stay tuned and ride with us.
