I am doing the Bun Burner 1500 on June 2nd - Kissimmee Fl to Valcourt, Cananda ( I pulled a trailer on my Saddlesore 1000 also.. good for extra cold starbucks)'
The reason it took me 8 days to ride 1000 miles is that I also rode the RTL some and I had a knee replacement last month

My wife and I just made the trip to Daytona, to Key West and back to Daytona, then back home. Rode into the house turning 3009 miles and her F3 got 2700 exactly.
All I can say is that I got 55 smiles a gallon and I think she did about the same!:thumbup:
LOVE THE F3!!!:doorag:

I had SM5 on my first Soyder since I wasn't ready to give up my biker roots. The arthritis in my hand got too bad to shift and I switched to SE. I love it and have never looked back. It is especially great in heavy traffic
