[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 943363, member: 13519"] Gary is right. You cannot drive/ride fast enough to make up time just by going west. Leave your house at 0500, and ride until about 10pm. It's not that hard if you stop just about every 200 miles for fuel, a short rest and bathroom break. There will be plenty of truck stops that you can be really close to 200 every time. I would set my tires at 43 rear 42 front for all that freeway riding, then get on the bike and hit it. You won't have any altitude issues, and the bike should run fine, unless you have some underlying issue that you don't know about. As far as looking for the most scenic route for picture stops, twisty roads, or attractions, remember that each of those cost you time. If you don't have a lot of it, you don't want to make too many detours off your planned path. You can do about 10 over on the interstate without issue. Most places, that's 80-85mph. Twisty roads are much slower and will take you out of your way. Have fun... [/QUOTE]
