If it was summer time, I would say ride it but, in Feb I would fly in, rent a bike for a couple days, and then fly home.

Everyone laughs about that untill they try it. Washes in minutes, dries in minutes. If I told you the names of some of the meanest S.O.B.'s that you ever met that ride in silk you would be amazed. Plus, the smooth feeling on the gonads is great.

Nylons works real good also. I wear nylons short when I ride it's much comfortable then under wear.

You sold me! Guess I'll head over to Victoria's Secret at lunch!

I bet it's harder for men to find silk underwear than it is for women!

Sorry, Kess. We are SO off the topic of this thread!

But when you do get to Dallas, I'm just going to HAVE to ask

For the life of me I don't see how THIS will me while riding!

Back in my yute (as Joe Pesi would say) riding from NJ to Texas would be fun. In February I'm not so sure. 400 to 500 miles a day may be a bit optomistic, can't go that fast in rain, fog, snow, sleet, wind etc. If you stay south you may avoid the snow. 1500 miles in crap weather isn't fun. It ain't going to be warm until you hit Texas....also remember you gotta get home!

Riding in the southwest you get really jaded with good weather. Falls into the 50's and we think twice before we ( I ) get the bike out.

Good Luck, Have Fun

Oh, try the Harley Ride Planner, makes great maps, you can change the route if you want.

I would go for it even if it is winter the farther south you go the warmer it will get, let us know how the trip goes if you ride down.
