Nice, I was hoping for between 3-4k miles for the whole trip, but after missing a day due to my tire then not realy riding much the next day it went way down. Plus at the gap we were right there so no need for a 3 or 4 hundred mile day when the good roads are at your doorstep.

The thing for us is we have to ride many miles to get to the good roads, between the gap and two they were prety much right there. Besides I think we get the most street cred for that 17 hr epic through all the storms and ups trucks

LMAO...Fucking Nascar Race With UPS trucks...I felt like Dale Jarret.

I didnt even realize we were pushing 17 hours until We got there and I was like...Wow, That took 17 Hours.

Def Made some Lifelong stories, I cant say id ever Do it on the ZX6R again....Maybe I would break it up into a two day ride. Either way I had an Amazing Time.

Bet your ass is sore! Now if you had ridden an additional 8500 miles in that 11days you would be in Iron Butt Rally territory (those people are nuts)

I thought about an IBA patch afterwards, all I needed was another 100 miles and easily could have done it in 2 hrs.

when I did the Indy Trip... I had 904 in 14 hrs... if I had a witness seem me leave (requirement for the iron butt) i'd have ridden passed Rae's house for 100 miles just to get it.
