14hrs on a rigid frame.
Started the day about 7:30 yesterday morning, hit the road around 8:30 and was headed down to meet up with a couple forum members at the Boogie. Met up with pquirk and he took us on a scenic ride through the southern IN countryside....man what beautiful scenery down there! Rolled in the garage around 10:30 last night with 440 + miles on the rigid frame...over 300 of that on the super slab runnin 75-80....other than a leaky oil fitting on my tank she had no problems and nothin fell off LOL. I feel well enough to do it again today...what a much needed ride!!

Right around 30 in the rear, it was actually a decent ride.....minus the pothole at 80!! |

Yeah the tire only rubbed after 75mph, but it wasn't anything to be concerned about...at least it wasn't painted yet. ;-)
