Default back in the day

I left ElToro California and drove my bike to Baltimore back in 76 before shipping out. I went non stop from Goodland Kansas to Baltimore but the best I remember it was more than 24 hours but less than 48.

Anymore, 300-400 miles is about all my boney butt can take. Been off bikes for 10 years so I'll have to get back to you when I get my next ride....soon I think

Wow now that is an accomplishment. I did the regular Bun Burner 1500 miles in 36 hours and it was rough. Can't imagine doing it in 24 hours. My hat err helmet is off to you sir!

Thought my 640 was something till I read the 27 pages of 1k's here! Did 640 from east of Houston to either Wichita or Topeka KS., can't remember which...on the way to Sturgis in 2006. Riding an 02 Heritage. It was hot, August of course and we were glad to get off, was a damn good cold beer that evening though.
