Shawn, what I'm really interested in knowing is how he managed his diet and blood sugar levels. What and when he ate, how often he tested levels, etc.

Secondly, the issue of sleep - did he schedule his sleep stops, or sleep when his body told him it was necessary?

Thanks!!

Hal

Ask him if primarily he treats the FJR 1300 as a precious object, or if it is the "ride" that is the subject for decisions of bike care/maintenance? <_<

E-mail sent Shawn.

Shawn;

Please ask John for FJR Bluesman, how he was able to stay alert and pay attention to the road? What kept his mind from wondering, getting board or day dreaming? All things that could get you in trouble.

Thanks.

 

[FJReady]

Ask him if his mom shagged Clark Kent. I don't think he's human!

Be sure to congratulate him for all us LD wannabees.

 

[vol210]

I wanna know what Hal wants to know. How does he test on the road?

Edmonton is in Alberta, not British Columbia. Just saying.

 

[mdisher]

Ask him if he used a Stadium Pal, and how he kept hydrated, and released said hydration

and what everyone else said..

 

[wildirish]

Hello also what kind of gps or does he like the good old maps!! thanks

 

[johnny80s]

Ask him what techniques he uses to avoid speeding tickets.

 

[LDRydr]

I'd like to know more details about how he managed to get down the Haul Road in such great time, and how the FJR handled that portion of the ride.

 

[GunMD]

What next?

I'm curious how he managed to miss an exit in TN and ended up an extra 100+ miles on his trip. Ask his well being at that time because if you are alert and in focus and pushing everything you can to shave time off your trip, you could have made a u turn to correct your route.

I *think* that was intentional to avoid construction.

I downloaded a copy of his Garmin route and he rode it exactly how he planed it.

 

[DeweyIsgod]

Was he nervous if those two borrowed BMW screws would hold up for the whole trip?

Thanks for the great questions, folks! I incorporated a lot of them into the interview.
