Default Checking in from Ohio w/ 600F4i

Just joined in yesterday.
I picked up an 06 600F4i in January, just recently found this site. This is my 2nd motorcycle, I spent some time on a 250ninja. Only avail pic I have :

I've been going through and getting small bits corrected, the information on this site is being very helpful.
In June, I'm doing this :

I rode from Illinois to NC and there are a few select others that have done a few road trips in great length...best word of advice..be prepared and by all means...be ready for what ever life throws at you out there..fatigue plays a big part too..but im sure if youre riding all that youre aware of what 6 hrs alone on a bike does to the brain...plan for fuel too...i had to stop every 130 miles...that can get pricey...and make sure youre tires brakes and chain are all top shelf and in good working order....other than that..get a crampbuster too it helps with wrist fatigue on those long roads at 105 mph....take lots of pics....

South Point for me. Since you like long trips... come on down.

That's one hell of a haul on a sport bike. [sm=jawdrop.gif] Have fun and be careful with that. Oh yeah, welcome to the board.

Welcome to the forum!!!

That is quite a trip you have planned.
Are you going at it alone or with others?

That looked like the path that the Griswolds took during the movie Vacation. Enjoy Wallyworld.

Take alot of pics, ride safe.
