Riding the Continent
#20
Well day two is behind me...the longest of the three days. I pulled out of Gainesville Georgia yesterday around 3pm EST, and pulled into Tuscaloosa Alabama 250 miles later around 6pm CST (4 hours). Today's ride was 340 miles, to Ruston Louisiana...the town where that tornado killed a woman and her son 3 days ago....sad. I took some pictures of the damage. Crazy....
Here is a pic of the Motel 6 that was damaged...no one was killed at the motel, however the second picture is of the house next door to the hotel where the woman and her son were killed.

I love the bike....plenty of power....purrs along at 80MPH around 3900 RPM. I have the Yoshimura exhaust and it sounds awesome. Bike will have about 4600 miles on it when I get it home to Dallas. I am getting about 46ish MPG running it at almost a constant 80MPH for hours. Tomorrow is my last leg and only about 275 miles. Everyone is right....about the time you need to stop for gas, your butt is ready for a walk about too! Big Grin I am hitting about 125~130 miles before it starts blinking and giving me the countdown...not sure how accurate that count is, but the lowest I have got it down to is 24 miles. I have the base model 2014 CB1100. So far the most I have put in the tank at a fill up is 3.050 gallons.
