Good luck! Take some pics if you have the time and let us know how it goes. I'm waiting for longer days and warmer weather to try the 1500.

 

[FJRBluesman]

You Go Bill!

I guess you haven't washed your bike yet. :lol:

 

[dj bill]

you know me better than that simon,its clean as a whistle.

 

[McRide]

stay warm and good luck!

 

[FJR-RemingtonRider]

Roll strong and steady.

 

[dcarver]

Good for you DJ!

Uhh,,, for what's is worth, from the Candy Butt *** prezidnete...

Reasonable speed wins the long distance day - stay outta the radar zone.

Have food at the tank-bag-ready. Powerbars are good.

Take several gloves - thinner for when warm (get to snacks/water while on the bike), bulkier for when cold.

Have good tunes at the ready.. (shouldn't be a prob for you, eh?)

Have water at the handy, just like the snacks.

Don't dawdle at stops. Get on with it. If the wheels ain't turning, you ain't making money.

Stop when needed. Pee when you want. If cold, warm up. You have 24 hours.

Keep Squirmin'. Move your *** all over that bike. Isometrics are your friend. Stretch the legs, arms, neck, ankles, butt.

When you think you've had enough, get off the bike and stretch out - 5 minutes will do you wonders.

Pay attention to your paper work! :lol:

Most importantly - DON'T **** UP. If you hit the wall, let it go. Live to ride tomorrow.

Good luck Mr. DJBill, I'll be thinking of you Monday!

 

[Old Michael]

All the best DJ.

Enjoy.

If you see the red and blue lights, don't let 'em take you alive.

If you average those speeds you can do a BBG. All you need to average is 45. Good luck and have fun. :yahoo:

Mr. Candy *** gives sound advice.

The only thing I'd add: if it's your first one, skip the pictures. It's the time off the bike that kills long rides. Get the ride done, then ask someone to snap your weary, smiling mug.

And don't mess with the cold. It can screw up your judgment in a hurry.

Good luck and be safe!

Good luck DJ! Can't wait to hear how you do...

I hope to making my 1st attempt in late March +/- a bit....

Lots of good advice, although I am not sure about Old Michael's ...

 

[dj bill]

ok,tomorrow am hittin the road at 330 or 4am.wild hogs.......lets ride.wtf.

 

[dcarver]

You can do it!

 

[FJRBluesman]

You can do it!

Don't eat any fish & chips. If so it'll:1) Slow you down.

2) Make want to ride on the wrong side of the road.

Good luck, ride safe!
