    That will be about a 2.5 hr ride , just a 60MPH average
    60 MPH who are you riding with? I know you said average. But an FYI and it makes me happy, the speed limit in OK is 75, in TX it is 80 during the day and 65 at night on the Interstate, in NM it is 75 and in AZ it is 75, so I just don't see a lot of 60 mph happening. Can you keep up?

    That's the spirit! 80 mph during the day in Texas? That's my kinda state!

    Always worry about those guys who have 12,000 miles on their Spyder, but only 200 hours!

    Yup, I was thinking that very thing. effgjamis, I apologize, it sounds like you are the one that may leave me behind. When I saw 60 mph I just imagined, s-l-o-w. I do like to drive fast and if I am being careful I still try to stay about 5-8 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. The last thing I want on this trip is a ticket.

    Speaking of speeding tickets. I don't know how other state troopers are, but California CHP is pretty sticky when it comes to speed limits. Interstate in CA is 70mph unless otherwise posted for populated areas. Some interstate sections have speed cameras through populated areas. Just a cautionary note for all who are traveling to LA.

    No apology neccessary... I sometimes strech the fact a bit... It is going to be a blast... I am very excited about the trip.
