    Hey everyone!

    I started a topic asking basic questions about an area the Wife and I wanted to ride to (http://www.cyclefish.com/forum/topic/8/index/157910/2#160081) and it seems a lot of folks think the area would be a great spot for a Cycle Fish Meet and Greet. With all that said, I have started this topic to see if we can generate some interest in getting a group together.

    My wife and I are going to ride up to Maggie Valley N.C. from near New Orleans Louisiana, arriving on June 8th 2014. We plan on spending at least one week in the Maggie Valley area. It really looks to be a great place for a motorcycle vacation.  Here is a decent link about the area if you are not familiar (http://www.visitmaggie.com/videos.htm) and it seems like the Highland Smokehouse http://highlandsrestaurantgroup.net/ could be a good spot for the Meet and Greet and a ride through the mountains afterwards.

    Dave Zien, who rode more than a million miles on his 1991 Harley that's now parked in the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame in South Dakota, says Harley-Davidson refused to honor the warranty on his 2014 motorcycle after the clutch failed on a recent trip to Dallas.
    "All they said was, because I fly flags on the bike, there's no warranty on the powertrain," Zien said Thursday.

    in the topic Harley won't honor a warranty because the rider was flying in the forum Harley Davidson
    aquadave wrote... Once engaged a clutch doesn't slip no matter the "drag" Unless it faulty. the only time drag effects a clutch is starting off. Then the weight and resistance wear a clutch. Once cruising drag effects the motor causing it to run hot and or burn up, it also plays hell on trannys wearing them out, but mot the clutch. Anybody that has sized wheels on a boat knows very well how drag effects an engine. Nor are these types of clutches "safety clutches" designed to slip under drag like a PTO clutch on a tractor bush hog. The HD dealer has no clue how engines work to make an outragous claim as that. Clutches wear out or break because of improper install, adjustment, improper usage, old age, or defective. If the flags were causing that much drag it would not have been starting or getting to cruising speed so they would have wore the tranny or burned up the motor but not the clutch Hmm, harley just posted all kinds of pics from thier big aniv party. Most of the folks attending were flying flags from thier countries and states. I wonder if they all know they have voided thier warranty? Or if Harley has become the same hypocritical a$$holes as Obama?

    Well, the fluids are changed, the test run to check for leaks is done. I will pack my bags this week. all that remains is to get my big a$$ed self loaded up on the bike next weekend and make some miles! LOL. For reasons I will not go into here, I am really looking forward to this run. Meeting new freinds and some old who are coming down from Mo. Riding in the mountains, exploring new, and old areas. Visiting with freinds who still live there and seing everything again. To ride one more time in that sweet blue haze.....Good times ahead. Time and life are funny, and never fail to shock ya do they? Some days good, some........not so much. This Meet and greet is gonna be one of my best weeks....EVER!!!! See Ya'll soon! Dave.

    Viking, Ya know what? While the report of what happened angers me.....some advice you've recievd of "unless you have an Attorney that IS NOT in the pockets of local Law Enforcement you are just about SCREWED." Truly sadens me. We live in a world of social media. I for one am outraged that this happened to you or to anyon and want to do anything I can to help. If a woman is annoyed by a sign in a bar in Plano Texas and through her social media post can have the bar manager suspended without pay for an indefinate period, then we as a colloctive should be able to use our social media skills and contacts to insure your story goes viral and brings your local P.D. to their knees over this. The officer (and I use the word loosley) who commited this attrocity needs to be brought under not only public, but judicial scrutiny. I issue a challenge to every cycle fish member to post the facts as you report them to us on their social media pages as well as write the local sherrifs office unil the horses ass who did this is fired and the local P.D issues a real appology.

    I agree with Trippin. I have been riding in and wearing Bates boots as a day to day wear boot for over a long time. Good price, great quality, and an attitude to go with your bike. I first wore Bates boots precursor while I was in the army. I learned while in the service how imortant my feet are and followed the company. They have been great. Theyve been a costant in my life. http://www.batesfootwear.com/US/en/Sale?CID=MAR-mkwid-BujmqEcO|dc-bates%20boots-e-30258272827--S-Brand
