pre ride question

Hey Bob,
Remember the Franklin meet last summer when I followed you to Tallahassee. 2500 mile round trip for me. On the way back, I coverd 840 miles in 2 days, 550 miles on day 1. On the 550 mile day, I only stopped when the gas tank needed it- 3 stops.

Hey guys, for luggage, I used a suitcase which I bungee cord to the pillion seat, lenth-wise layed down across the seat; used the back tail lights and the shocks for anchor points. I made a 1100 mile trip and the 2500 mile trip with the suitcase like that with no problems on the shocks or the tail lights. Here is a picture of me going thru Deals Gap (the dragon) with the suitcase on the back; you may have to copy and paste the URL:
