Done several multi-state rides and at 20,000 miles haven't done anything but regular service. Several trips Wendy and I had our bikes loaded down with all our camping gear too , 4 room tent, clothes and washing items, air mattress, food,clothes, etc... Not 1 problem.When I bought my SM first thing I did was ride to Laconia NH. I had only owned it a few days before we left. Hauled Wendy and I there in driving rain, so hard I couldn't see the tail light of the guy in front of me, also on an America. Neither of our bikes skipped a beat. We finally gave up at the northern end of Vermont since it was getting cold and we were soaked. Rode there from the Poconos PA.
