[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 1446959, member: 1075"] Well, let’s do the math... “Lunch” is usually consumed between 12 noon and 1 pm. If you leave at sunrise (about 6 am here) that gives you 6-7 hours to arrive at your destination. If it’s mostly highway, you can average 70-75 mph (if lucky) so that’s 75 X 6.5, or about 490 miles, 980 round trip. I doubt I would travel that far unless I was meeting up with a group, and you’d figure if the meeting was of more importance than the food itself, you’d likely find a spot that was a halfway point for most of the riders. 😉 Now personally how far would I go for a meal? Well the only place that I can think of that I’d travel there just for the food is Franklin’s BBQ in Austin TX, which would be 790 miles one way.....I’ve read and heard so much about the place I figure at some point I just gotta try it 👍 [/QUOTE]
