.040 Over
I live about 50 miles east of Cincinnati in Adams County, Ohio. I did the ride with a friend / co-worker who rode an old Sportster ! We took S.R 32 to Cincy, then 74 to Indy. Jumped on 70 at Indy and stayed on 70 'til we got to Kingdom City, Missouri. Then turned around and took the exact same route home. Nothing scenic....just gobbling up the miles on the interstate. Kept the required travel log and receipts. Just need to mail it in to the IBA and wait on my certificate. Trickiest part of the whole deal was dodging the rain and the frigid temps after the sun went down. But I really wanted to do it on April Fool's Day. We had a blast.
Changes to the bike.....
Right now the only thing left will be the Triumph long haul seat w/ backrest. I have one on order. Was hoping it would arrive in time for my trip but that didn't happen. Should be here any time now. I would eventually like to get the taller screen to use on long trips. But it's kinda pricey and I'll have to wait a while on that. I've already installed J&M handlebar mounted amplified speakers and a satellite radio. Am very pleased with that set-up. I also have the Triumph engine guards w/ hiway pegs, Triumph quick detach passenger backrest & luggage rack, and TOR's w/ the dealer installed tune.
I've had the bike a little over a month and absolutely love it so far.
