My biggest tip is to not have an agenda, as far as time to be at one place or another. Ride, enjoy the view, stop when you want to. If you are in a hurry to get from one place or another, you're in the wrong vehichle. Take your time, lot's of photos, and when you get to your destination and your bike is parked, lot's of good KY Bourbon. Have fun
