Now that you've shown us that you're not a puss, how's about sharing that badassed route you took with us???
There are definitely some great roads and beautiful scenery between your points A & B.
I bought my R3 on eat-me-bay. Flew from Michigan to Elpaso Texas and rode her home. 1600+ miles. Was 113 degrees when I left. Didn't get below a 100 deg. until I was in Missouri. Hot assed ride but fun ! Couldn't ***in' believe the 5th gear passing power !
