That is a hell of a ride! Over 1600 miles in 24 hours.

I did it in 2 days from Pensacola, but laid down for 4 hours in Salina KS after 1200 miles.
I'm glad I did too because I rode the Nebraska sand hills the next morning and had one of the most beautiful, memorable rides of my life.
No, I was just talking about the places I stayed at the Rally. I have done the ride before riding from one morning until the following evening.

This year I left at night to avoid the heat. I left at 9PM with some light rain and great cool night air.

I got tired and stopped in Peoria the next evening around 5PM. I was originally going to the UP and over to Sturgis but I did not get off work in time so I reversed the route.

Hey! where's your trailer, behind the railroad station?

No trailer, just two soft tails from Ft Worth, through Alaska and home in 20 days ! 11k miles and plenty of adventure!

Great trip. I was lucky enough to have 28 days for the 14,000 miles
