[QUOTE="Hollywoodgt, post: 1143059, member: 59622"] Some great info flowing in this thread. I want to get a 1000 under my belt that is registered. I ran from Chicago to just shy of Fargo SD a couple yrs ago. 1200 miles in about 19 hrs. Not even sure he I did it. Needed some me time so I got up a about 5:30am and headed north. I think I had so much going on that time kind of flew by, except about the last 5hrs back in a cold misty rain. I was nervous riding the Wis Rds at night worrying about deer. I tucked behind a truck and pushed on. I was getting tired and got to Madison, I said time to get doe rest ...... By other alter ego said your not that far. I wasn't so much tired as I was sore (2007 Ultra) I wish I would have known more about the IBA before doing the ride. I took enough time to stretch get gas, grab a snack and push on. The longest rest stop was maybe 30 min burger and go. It wasn't a bad ride one hand was doer for about 4 days and numb other than that notta. I keep thinking I want to do another but st 55 wrestle with what's the point ....... Plan a 300- 500 day stop nice diner comfy bed and then return trip or 2 days out and then back. Down side no cool license plate holder :-) [/QUOTE]
