Loud Pipes!

This episode captures the fun we had over a weekend trip as part of planning for the 2020 Loud Pipes meetup. We stayed in Tellico Plains, TN and covered the planned routes for both meetup days. The weather was fantastic, the roads were amazing, and a great time was had by all.

Just one bike (from each brand) - there are other brands however, this is our list Money is no object Can only pick ONE bike from each manufacturer on the list Must be the model year 2019 or 2020 Must be available in the United States Special or limited editions that require ordering are not eligible must be able to walk in a dealer and get one without waiting The conversation will center around two concepts. 1. What you feel is THE bike to have from each manufacturer 2. Which one YOU would choose they may not be the same, but the list is our choice not the bike from #1 if different.
