We thought they were nuts and would never do it again. A few years later they did the same trip again on the same Harley. They were in their early 30's . Says something about how tough ladies and Harleys were back then. A lot of people travel cross country today but on a Harley sprint 2up ?

I love my 1990 TW200, I have had it for 20+ years. I just refurbed it. I have used it to pack Elk out of the Rocky Mountains about a dozen times...

I appreciate the pictures , but you do know that a Harley Sprint does not have the comfort that those Harley Hogs had. The Sprints were like riding Mopeds and there were two people on it. But those pictures did bring back a lot of good memories. My first Harley that I bought when I was 15 was like those . A 1947 Harley suicide shift.

I agree!

Not as nimble or powerful as the newer Hondas, but it sure is a fun bike!

Thanks. It's an older pic. I need new ones. I've since put a curved lay down license plate powder coated it black. Also put a wide tombstone tail light and changed the cowbell horn to an old springer horn powder coated black as well. I was going for the nostalgia look. I'm on the fence on putting on 59' caddy tail lights as turn signals.
