[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1095987, member: 213"] Tony, are you trying to steal RiderX's nickname? FYI - Utah just raised the interstate speed limits on I-15 from just South of SLC basin to Leeds to 80 mph all the way. Ditto for SLC to Wendover on I-80 and SLC to the Idaho border on I-84. Warchild did this with 21 gallons of gas on board, and was running 19 hr BBGs with his own personal pit crew to change tires, (IIRC, 3 rears). With normal aux tank fuel of ~11 gallons and a 400-500 mile range, you're still starting full and making 2 or 3 gas stops each day. If you can stay hydrated and not stop for other breaks, running 7-8 hours of riding at a time, it's still a push to get enough sleep for the next ride. You could run I-80 from Evanston, WY to York, NE and maximize the empty space. 750 miles from point to point, making it a simple out and back run each day. Downside is Cheyenne in the middle. Bordom? Whomever mentioned that hasn't done enough riding. It's going to probably be 20 hours plus on the bike each day for 7 days or more, (why match when you can surpass?). If you can hang with it. Yeah, there's going to be some boredom. [/QUOTE]
