from 80,000 miles on my Street Glide. Uses no oil, no smoke, no leaks, runs fantastic. The drive-train is a 100% factory stock 96 CI with a H-D 6 speed. Oil changes in all 3 holes every 5K miles with top shelf synthetic oils, along with the basic maintenance items, and these Harleys will move your soul for decades.
on the way. Will post links here when they are ready. Most will be 360 videos.
Sue and I have ridden by Two Wheels Of Suches on several occasions when exploring this area on the Harleys. Itching to get out on the bike, I decided to head there, recon the facility, and spend the night camping.
The facility is nice. Very well kept. Bath house was very clean. The “lodge and restaurant” is only open on weekends. I did my own meals so cant comment. A lot of free-range tent camping. $20.00. Picnic tables, grill. 4 bars of cell service. Could not access any amateur radio VHF/UHF repeaters from the property. Hills all around the site. Many curvy roads leading to the site. Hwy 180, and Hwy 60 being the best.
Cold. Yes it got cold. I was in my 15f bag, insulated sleeping pad, had a ThermaRest blanket, thin layer of dry clothing, and my feet still got cold. Had to use my riding jacket over my feet to make it tolerable. Jim Beam Kentucky Fire whiskey helped as well. Will probably be a lot better temp wise by early May.
Had some neighbors. Two riders from Jersey who were on some damn nice KTM Adventure Bikes. They had several very adventurous routes planned for the area. Sure wish I was 20 years younger! I would have joined them!
Am I going back? YES! Getting there Sunday afternoon worked out great. After the weekend crowd left, there were only 8 to 10 folks left camping. No doubt Two Wheels of Suches is going to be incorporated into our future places to camp when out exploring on the bikes.
First overnight motorcycle camping trip of 2022 is scheduled for next week. Destination more than likely will be Suches, Georgia. Some great riding in that part of Georgia.
Perfect time to test my motocamping gear…. Especially the tent….
Set the tent up last night in anticipation of some rough weather…. Did and it passed with flying colors!
The motorcycle camping season is just around the corner. A Harley and a tent. Ultimate freedom.
