Bow Tie Tour
Take a map of North America then draw a bow tie over it with the four corners being, Alaska, Mexico, Maine and Florida. The middle where the lines meet is Tennessee. Hence the name bow tie tour, it is our tour of North America done in the shape of a bow tie.
Knee Dragging
This is what happens when you go around a corner and the lean angle of the motorcycle is so great that you can drag your knee on the ground. Don’t worry we have hard plastic knee pucks designed for this sort of thing. Knee dragging is helpful to increase your balance and to feel the road and how far over you actually are. And it’s just fun to do.
