SCMM 2016 Debrief : The Good, Bad & Ugly


This recap of my Southern California trip for SCMM 2016 features extra footage from our ride to Big Bear Lake, as well as my thoughts on what went right, what went wrong, and what the future might hold for the SCMM event. Lastly, I offer a rare look at bizarre 1960s roadside attraction "The Thing?" which we stopped to check out while passing through Arizona. Enjoy, and I look forward to seeing everyone again next year at SCMM 2017. Cheers!

That wasn't expected and buys them a little more time in the wake of having recently stopped a partial takeover. Here's hoping they figure out a way to turn things around, but according to the current numbers, it's gonna take more than their few remaining loyalists to save this dinosaur from extinction. That said, Harley has proven itself to have 9 lives in decades past. Let's just hope they're only on No. 8 because America wouldn't be the same without them. As a motorcyclist of some 42 years now, I've never had any serious interest in owning a Harley-Davidson (though I did entertain the thought building a Hammer Sportster several years ago).
