I had the great fortune of riding my 2003 Harley-Davidson 100th anniversary Softail to the AMA Womens Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2006. It was an amazing three-week, round-trip journey from Sacramento; down to Vegas; over to the Grand Canyon; back down through New Mexico; across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama; and arriving in Georgia for the conference on Thursday.
