1933 Harley-Davidson VL Cross-Country Ride follows a 19-day trip from Emerald Isle, North Carolina to San Francisco, California on a 1933 VL and a 1934 VLD. The ride is documented through daily entries, photographs, route decisions and roadside repair notes from a pre-war Harley-Davidson trip across America.
The entries are meant to be read in order, beginning with Day 1 and continuing across the country at old-bike speed. Along the way the series covers maintenance on the road, weather, tools, camping and travel decisions, and the practical limits of long-distance vintage motorcycle travel.
