We
road from Daytona Beach FL. to Myrtle Beach SC.
partied for 2 and 1/2 day left 12 non on Saturday
then road to Las Vegas NV. 2457 miles in less than
72 hrs and arrived in Tuesday morning. We did a 1008
mile day on Monday from Oklahoma City to Kingman AZ.
in 16 hrs and also had Dawns pipes mounting bracket
broke in Amarillo TX. and set us back quite a bit
average speed would have been 85 miles an hour and
stops were no longer than 10-15 minutes though a few
stops might have been longer ! I left with a hang
over and had the flu on Sunday [or it felt like it ]
but we seemed to be able to skate through with out
any rain except a few drops between Birmingham AL.
and Memphis TN. mostly sunshine all the rest
of the way . total mile was 3017 the only thing we
wish is that we could have spent time seeing the
country in stead of taking a tour of the gas
stations of America !!! This ride was a hoot and was
for bringing some of my bikes back to Las Vegas so
we have enough to ride to Sturgis for my 50th
birthday ride [I'm not 50 till sept 7th 2008 but I'm
celebrating for 6 weeks!!] if you ever do a
"
IRON BUTT 1000 MILES IN A DAY" get some rest first
and dont eat too much on the stops stay away from
sugar and plenty of water and protein but small
portions of food when I ate too much I got very
sleepy and highway hypnosis Energy drinks only work
for a few minutes careful with those they have lots
of sugar in them ! the 5 hour energy boosters work
ok for about 2 hrs. but their small and not loaded
with sugar ... stay away from those that are cheaper
they taste like SHIT!!
