Summer/Fall 2020 Adventure v2

[bflint]

So, I didn't get to do Summer 2020 Adventure v1 because of stuff (Thread: http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15549). Looking to do a Sep 21 thru Oct 9 ride instead. I have moto'ed thru 29 of 48 US States and have devised 2 trip routes I could do this and next year to get the remaining 21 ... dum or fun, not sure but its something to do. One route is a southern route and one is a northern route although they both have Minnesota in them (missed it last year while in Dakotas ... stupid me). Both have Maryland,Virginia,Michigan because have friends/relatives there)
*
Any forum thoughts on which route would be preferred for this time of year (strange year that it is)? Guesstimate that I have to do 483 miles/day on average. Both routes have Bing Maps link below.

On way as of Tuesday 9/22. Made it to Flagstaff. Albuquerque, Amarillo on I40 (Route 66). Will decide which way to go in Arkansas. Trying to learn how to use my New GoPro ... maybe upload some time lapse later

Safe travels. 483 a day is pretty aggressive looks like the closest you come to me is Cleveland at the other end of the state.

Avg 478 over 3 days did 589 today. Pretty sure the overall plan will have some modifications to keep me sane.

My 2014 CB1100 DX definitely uses oil when riding at sustained speed of 90mph. Barely registered in oil window. Added 1/2 quart this morning.

I would agree. The CB1100 puts out noticeably more particulate (whether burned or unburned) when compared to some other late model Honda siblings.

However, nothing even close to that of pretty well any model year HD.

I’m in Asheville this week as well so if you meet up with Houtman you may get me as a bonus

 

[peterbaron]

Looks like busy days for John,

I look forward seeing Inhouse Bob and his wife Tracey again . Hopefully Bill Flint will also be here to meet them and we think that Amos might come to Asheville as well.
Sierra Nevada brewery is still closed but the restaurants at the Biltmore Estate are open as well as some other places to eat as well. I left message on Bill phone , my wife offered to wash his cloths if he is here as I think that he is "tenting "

it’s Sunday night... finished 6 days on my South Route trip. Left Pensacola this morning but got stuck just North of Atlanta. Don’t have many pictures this year because just “riding hard” which is fun in its own way. Met young man at ham sandwich shop In Oklahoma who was traveling from Jersey to California on Harley Sportster. .. crazy kids

. As a SoCal guy every road from Arkansas to Pensacola to Atlanta looks the same to me .... 100 ft tall tree forests with a road cut down the middle of them. Beautiful but not really photo op stuff. Met Buffalo Soldiers biker club group at gas station in Montgomery AL today. Interesting folks... They are passing a “baton” thru all 50 states among their chapters with end point being Chicago in a couple of months.

That’s my meager status

Bill , I just send you a PM , Atlanta traffic is/can be nightmare.

Sounds to me like you’re doing OK, BFlint.

Good to hear you are safely riding on. Great experience.

How many miles at that speed to burn that 1/2 quart?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, probably am, are you saying an HD would burn more oil?
I've been touring on Harley's out west for the last 12 yrs, usually putting on 3,500 to 5,500 mi, I will typically set the cruise at 85-86 mph and run for hours only stopping for gas in usually pretty hot conditions and I have never had to add oil before I got home.

Curious about the Buffalo Soldiers Group. Are they Ex army retirees or have some military affiliation or is the name a tip of the hat to a historically black unit? Can’t read the patches in the pictures.

Loosely speaking, 9 out of 10 HDs in this province (Ontario is a very populous province) spew unburnt particulate that is easily detectable when stuck behind them when stopped at a red light. The ones that appear not to tend to be the unmodified machines. This is an unscientific statement, but it is not hard to sample on the street. Any vehicle that burns oil makes the whole experience worse, including any affected Japanese bike.

+1, and this is one of the reasons why I do not ride or drive behind HD!
