Gov. Walker says he hopes to ride Harley across New Hampshire

MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker says he's looking forward to riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle across the early presidential voting state of New Hampshire.

The La Crosse Tribune reported Monday (http://tiny.cc/c3olvx) that Walker made the comment after speaking at a tourism conference, noting that New Hampshire is just 65 miles wide.

Walker spent the weekend in New Hampshire for his first visit since 2012. Walker is taking steps toward a likely presidential run, but has not yet officially declared his intentions. He qualified his comments about the New Hampshire Harley ride, saying he wants to do it "If we get in."

Walker plans to make his first trip to South Carolina on Thursday, for a four-city swing. He's scheduled to return to New Hampshire in April.
