Al, after riding to/around/from last year's Midwest rally I logged something on the order of 1500 miles in 4 days. Thought it was the best way to see if Black Beauty (2007 BA 865cc) could handle the miles. I tend to ride pretty conservatively & try to stay off the slab as much as possible. I generally stayed between 55-75mph depending on the road condition (and some of them 2 lane Iwegan (aka IOWA)roads were pretty bad).

But all that road trip & the rally did was spark my interest in doing some serious touring. So, this May/June I'll be logging something on the order of 4.2K miles to CA, camp in Big Sur & Sequoia Natl park & to hang with the BA mems at the SWTF rally in June. Go for it man!
