They love touring local areas they visit using their motorcycles. Since they each have their own motorcycle they had their tow body built so they could store both motorcycles behind the cab of their Volvo semi-truck towing vehicle. Here you can see the built-in motorcycle racks.An electric wench attached to a swing arm allows David to load and offload the motorcycles easily.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://rvtravel.com/blog/rvnow/uploaded_images/1-723739.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
