Big Dam Tour: Seven Baggers For Seven Brosephuses

The Baggers to Vegas Rally: BMW K1600 B vs Indian Chieftain Dark Horse vs Kawasaki Vaquero vs Harley-Davidson Street and Road Glides vs Moto Guzzi MGX-21 vs Yamaha Eluder

The Big Dam Tour was originally conceived as a multi-day moto-carouse way up to Northern California, where we’d swoop by a few of the state’s many impressive dams, including Shasta and Oroville, as an excuse to ride like maniacs over some great roads.

Actually that’s probably just about right for a “bagger,” which is really just this side of a touring bike, and built for just such overnight hauls as well as around-town use and commuting.
