Doc,
How often do you stop and take breaks...and for how long?
Your a machine, lol, not sure I can hang with you, but can try, if not, will just meet you guys there.

Returning from LA, we stopped about every 100-120 miles.
I personally think 100 is a good number. usually time spent is about 15 minutes, for gas and whatever but upon occasion longer time.

One stop (10 min) between refueling with cruising speed (limit+9) in the fast line. I would be the last rYder in this caravan (KewlMetal exhaust :yikes:).

Cant wait to hear it.

I gotta take more breaks/little longer that what Doc does, my left shoulder blade area just burns like crazy after about 45-hour ride time even with the 4" risers.

We usually stop for a 10+ minute and strech our legs etc, at about 90 miles, and then move on to about 115-120 miles for fuel etc. that usually takes about 20+ minutes.. that is a guess..

In about 2 hrs ( 5am ET ) I will be headed to Gatlinburg, TN Hopefully arriving about 7PM.. It is rated for a 10.5 to 11.5 hour ride. Of course that depends upon how long the gas stops and road speed.

Of course I will be meeting Doc in Lake City, Fl between 7:30-8:00 AM..
