Cross Country Ride documents a 19-day ride from Emerald Isle, North Carolina to San Francisco, California on two pre-war Harley-Davidsons: a 1933 VL and a 1934 VLD. These ride entries follow the trip day by day, covering vintage Harley-Davidson touring, roadside repairs, route changes, endurance riding, and the realities of long-distance travel on early motorcycles. For readers interested in pre-war Harley-Davidsons, real-world vintage motorcycle travel, and what it actually takes to ride old machines across America, this collection provides a detailed firsthand record of a true cross-country journey.
For identification and factory reference, the VIN Decoder and Production Numbers 1936–1965 pair well with these travel stories, while Day 1: The Journey Begins provides the direct article-level starting point for following the trip across America.
