It is. That's what I've been doing for 5 years now. That might be why the Busa has 53k on 'er!

Awesome. I need to meet that guy sometime anyway. I'll try to get the other guy who is doing these with me on TWF.

Tell me when you do the ND, MN, WI trip. I'd like to join if you and your friend aren't opposed.

We talked about taking that train from KC to Cali with the bikes, riding across the US, then coordinating with one of the guy's friends who is a trucker about shipping the bikes back and we'd just fly.

Hell, LA to jacksonville is just under 2500 miles. Not impossible. Not easy, but not impossible.

You're fucking crazy. Only 23.5 hours???? I get 20 miles into a ride and my back is begging me to stop.

It was funny on this trip. It was me on my R1, a 28 year old on a Concourse 14 and a 36 year old on a Bandit 1200 and I was the one in the least pain still.

If you push through the pain one time, you will be good to go for hours.

Wait a few years. You'll change your tune.

Some people just suck it up and deal better.

I have a few 1000 mile days under my belt, more 700 and 800 mile days than I can count, and a Iron Butt Bunburner. My most recent 1000 mile day was 3 weeks ago. Oh yeah, I'm 37. How much longer should I wait before it's time to change my tune?

Easy, grandpa. I did 150 Sunday...I paid for it. I could barely walk the rest of the day. No fucking joke. And that was with the freshly installed "S" pegs...which are an inch lower. I'm about at the end of my rope with sportbikes.

Yeah, but you're not normal.

BTW, you can post here, but you can't respond to my text?
