We just returned from our Upper Michigan run from Mount Vernon (Seattle)WA ride. We were gone for a month. Real glad to be home.
The reason for this thread/post is to let everyone know that, even though we towed a "slightly"
overweight camper/trailer,along with a passenger (and, of course, our Spyderpup Kiddo perched on top of the rear trunk), we had absoutley no problems what so ever. The only thing worth mentioning is I did smell the clutch on maybe 3 or 4 occasions (it being a RT-SE), but I did learn to be carefull with launches with so much weight. We cruised at a steady 75 mph when the limit allowed it. T'was a great trip with a great machine which surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds. Gas mileage varied from 19 (extreme wind with hills) to 26, with an average of about 23 to 24.
After towing the camper for many miles, removing it makes the RT seem like a Haybusa acceleration-wise!:yikes:
