South West Trip Day 8 Thursday May 11, 2017

Today starts in Grandview, MO
And finishes in Omaha, NE
Passing through Iowa

Places Visited Along The Way, Photos, and Notes
I awoke in Grandview, MO and hit the road
It was lightly sprinkling which soon turned into a real rain
No opportunities for photos in the rain
so few today
Worth Harley-Davidson in Kansas City is
one of the largest dealerships I have visited
They have a huge inventory of new bikes
They say they turn them over about four times a year
I stopped by the Harley-Davidson Kansas City Plant
(2 ABCs points) and went inside but did not tour
Saint Joseph, Buchanan County MO
St Joe Harley-Davidson


A company in California makes a sidecar for HDs
It is almost a bolt-on kit
I stopped in Percival a small town population 87
there is a tiny brick post office
It is no more and the broken down building is for sale
Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, IA
Must not like to put labels on buildings
It is hard to find a photo op
In Omaha, NE I looked for the big locomotives
but did not find them for a photo
I had not yet visited Dillon Brothers Harley-Davidson
It is way western Omaha

In another building, they also sell Hondas and Kawasakis
Econolodge (used to be Comfort Inn)  Okay, not great
