I made the first third of my trip to new orleans. Stopped in Roanoke for the evening. Great ride on the motorcyle. Riding a Yamaha Venture. Smooth ride. Dinner at six then a smoke. How about giving me a hand picking a stick.
601
Tat. Artista
Monte #2
Short Churchill:help:

I'd smoke the 601 and save the Monte #2 for the arrival. What better way to celebrate a great trip. Have a great time Dennis and please be careful, too many disrespectful drivers in vehicles with 4 wheels these days.

Be careful out their Dennis, you and I both know that most "cagers" have little or no respect for us bike riders.

Have a great trip!

You're making good time D! I've been through Tennesee once...nice country!
Beautiful ride. We made it to the hotel right before rain storm. I made a 100mile mistake for tomorrows run.:scratchhe Instead of 400miles we need to do 503 to be in NO by tomorrow evening.:frownno: O will have to take the ribbing.:grin:

Go with the Alec Bradley SCR, I want to know what you think about it, my B&M is carrying them and I'm gonna try one this week.

"Instead of 400miles we need to do 503 to be in NO by tomorrow evening."

Please tell me you are not gonna try doing that tomorrow....:nono:

Wowsers D - 503 miles equals about 8-8 1/2 hours. I'd recommend splitting that up! You're going to wind up with monkey butt!
More like 10hours. We try and stop every one hundred to take in and release fluids. There will also be a lunch stop.

Yup...you add in a bunch of stops, and it does become 10 hours+. I just made the trip via car - 540 miles in about 8 1/2 hours coming back, but I rarely needed to stop!

Anyhow, however long it takes you man, BE SAFE !!
