This is an account of a motorcycle trip that I took in the Summer of 2012. The trip was done solo on a Honda Pacific Coast 800. I took a little over five weeks and covered over seven thousand miles.

Fast Ride
I rode hard; I rode fast; I rode a long way, 462 miles in seven and a half hours. That is better than 60 mph including gas stops and lunch. I got to Evansville, Indiana. I was a bit aggressive, angry, but controlled, and that made me push hard. The impressive part is that the bike still got 49 mpg. Tim Wolfe in Lawrence knows his stuff. That leaves 677 miles to get home. If I can get a good distance in tomorrow, I should be home Monday. Tomorrow's weather is questionable. So, we shall see.

Glad to hear you made good time. Add a top-notch Honda cycle mechanic to Lawrence's list of attractions!

We'll be watching the weather and keeping our fingers crossed! Hiope you don't have to dodge in and out of storms on the way home!
You know, with all this riding you are in danger of losing your nickname as 'The Boy Who Drives The Car"...
