      I used to do it in a semi, every week was a new rocord I was striving to reach. Best stretch was from Indy to Bangor Maine overnight. Stopped for fuel and coffee. I used to average 7-800 miles at a hop before fueling, it was a regular thing for me. In a car, 300 miles was tops before I went stir crazy and had to get out. On the bike, if I didnt have to ride cramped up with all my gear on the back, I could ride tank to tank nonstop and smile every minute of it. Gimme a set of highway pegs and extra padding on the seat and I'm a happy man.

      You rock man. I dont have the proof required for my ride, so it was a wash for cert. BUT, I'll be making the trip north again to get my 15 yr old and ride back to GA with him on the back. It's what he wants. I'll doc those trips and get my cert then. Congrats again on an awesome ride.
