More keen to get the show on the road, after all it's just a road.

2 sleeps

Hi everyone, a repost:

Thanks to everyone who followed this and to those who posted. After doing this in Australia back in 2006 I know how good it is to go back and read the comments later.



I am feeling good, here are some stats.



2006 - Australia 4430 klms Brisbane to Fremantle 45hrs 22mins with a 2hr sleep at Ceduna. First ever IBA 50CC Gold in Australia



2009 - USA 4891 klms Seaside OR to Ilse of Palms SC 46hrs 52mins with a 3 hrs sleep at Lincoln Nebraska



This is given only to show you the difference in riding in Australia with the max legal speed limit of 110kph and single lane roads to the US with 75mph limits much of the way and 2 lane interstate 99% of the way.



Its still a tough ride but compared to Australia its much easier, well for me it was. To anyone not familiar with my rides don't try this without a lot of experience. I have no pains and feel fine. I had 8hrs sleep and will get at least that over the next 4 nights leading up to the REAL ride I came here for. This was just a bonus. Had I not felt good and it was going to mess up my real ride I would have pulled out on this ride across.



Once the ride is certified I will be the 1st in the world to have a 50CC Gold in both continents. Approx 71 have done this or close distance in the US (1000+ have done the shorter distance across the bottom where its about 4000klms or 2400miles) for a 50CC Gold but no one has done both. Before now.



Guys this is a copy paste that I did on ADV riders, I just need to get some stuff done here. More later, or any questions just ask I am here till tomorrow at about 9am, its about 10:30am now Wed.
