[QUOTE="rust0r, post: 6770799, member: 11338"] trailer it up on the cobra (assuming it meets specs), or plan on taking like 5 days to a week to do it (only way without wanting to kill yourself). The problem with being so long distance, you really have no room to bring anything besides that you're wearing and maybe a couple pairs of underwears and socks in the tailbox, I have ridden with a backpack for an hour and would NOT do it any further. If you can't trailer it and unless you have some attachment to your bike, or has owned it since new and babied it, and don't believe you will be able to get another one just like it, sell it and buy one in IL If you do ride it, bring some ear plugs for the highway, wind fatigue at those speeds will really set in and tire you out. Possibly look into getting a throttle rocker as well ( [url]http://www.throttlerocker.com/[/url] ) it will really help on your throttle hand as you won't have to grip the bars as tediously as without it I'de also check the freeways you will be taking, plan your route on some nice pavement, I couldn't imagine riding such a long distance on roads that were falling apart (ie: anyone that has ever been on PA turnpike/NY state thruway) Whats the farthest you have ridden before this ? Edit: the other concern I would have is realistically you should be cleaning/lubing your chain 3 times throughout this trip, does anyone see it being a problem that he wouldn't be able to do this? How are your tires ? [/QUOTE]
