Ziggy1647545504 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I envy you the ability to saddle up and ride like that. I'm lucky if I can stretch a trip to Blockbuster into an hour on the road. If you get the chance, take a ride through DC. It really is an impressive city to see. My parents took my sister an I to Delaware on the bikes once... Same kind of deal, got on the bikes, and hit the road. I think we were half way there before they decided where we were going.

I think we were half way there before they decided where we were going. ha, never been on a bike more than 3 hours.. this will be the first test lol.. and a big one thats what we decided, kinda point a direction where it will be somewhat warm, and take back roads there. and after we get there just go wherever. see some sites, and then be home sunday some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 good luck man. you will have fun. ride safe. you will be full of pain too. i took my r6 up to lake erie last year, never again. i had a corbin seat too, and we stopped a couple of times. my back felt like a train hit it the whole weekend. the bike just isnt set up to be a long range crusier. your dude with the rc will be hating life worse than you though. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormulaMatt Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hell man, I would have been all over this if I would have know when we found out about our furlough. Unfortunately, they wont let us change it. Next time though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nice I'm going to do an ironbutt this year with my girl on the back.....1000 miles in 24 hours!

XChris1632X Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ryan what kinda gear are you taking in terms of bags? Last year Matt and I talked about doing the same type of thing after he bought his VFR but we couldnt decide on what type of gear we would use.
