Home Safe from Wisconsin Rally

[misft]

WOW! Now that's what I call a road trip.

Arrived home Thursday 6/30/2016 at 1215 hrs. Total of 5,016 miles start to finish.

That's a LOT of time in the seat! How many days from start to finish?

Left Sacramento june 12, got home june 30, that's 19 days, less 4 days for rally, so, 15 days of riding?

Hank43, did you camp or hotel it? Pull a trailer? Did you have a passenger? How many times did you wish you had that bigger tank? Got a good start on mine this week.
Sounds like you averaged just under 350 miles/day. That's a nice road trip! Glad you got to attend the rally. Would have been nice if you could have swung down here (KC) on your way home.
I just picked up another bike, one with a 3.8 gallon tank, and it also gets terrible fuel mileage (well, at least the way it begs to be driven!), so it needs a fill up before I get tired. Of course, it's just close around the KC area, but it still occurred to me that a bigger tank would give me more options about when and where to stop.

Moteled all the way, always ride 2 up on the trike, having to stop frequently for gas is not all that bad, my 73 yr old A** needs it. Had the trike ECU reflashed before I left, oh what a difference! Went up and down the mountains like they were flat. As a bonus, got from 39.97 to 32.xx MPG. Well worth the 350 clams it cost!
