The Montana Rally was simply incredible! We had so much fun it’s hard to put into words. One thing we decided was no more rides longer than 350 miles in one day. Our butts and backs just can’t take it any longer! LOL
After 12 1/2 hours we pulled into Great Falls and were definitely ready for a drink at the hotel bar. The next morning we got up to head over to the dealership only to discover we had a flat rear tire. Luckily we have Road America, Harley's roadside assistance program. We got a tow to the dealership where we ended up renting an Ultra for the next 24 hours while we waiting for our custom tire to arrive from where??? Las Vegas, Nevada of course! There wasn't an 18" Avon tire to be found in the entire state of Montana or any state closer than Nevada. Crap. Luckily for us the owner of Big Sky Harley, Brian, is an awesome guy and really treated us the way anyone in that kind of situation would want to be treated. We had just been in North Carolina two weeks before and had rented an Ultra while there to ride with my brother, Ken. We weren't exactly looking forward to the cost of another rental but we also weren't willing to have two days of the rally go to waste because of a flat tire. Brian was so good to us that he gave us a really, really significant discount on the rental.
The riding was simply beautiful and the street party that the Chamber threw for us was a blast!!! We can't wait to get back up there again.
