    Riding to MD in july.

    Im gonna be riding to MD in the beginning of july. anyone wanna roll?

    did the math and its roughly 1700 miles. 300 miles to a 5 gallon tank.
    im guessing $225 one way in just gas. i dont plan on getting hotel rooms or anything. 12 hour total of riding starting at sun up and not stopping until the 12 hours of riding is up. so i guess 2 days total.

    ill have more details as the time gets closer. just throwing this out there too see if anyone wants to ride.

    I've driven that many times... I can't even begin to imagine how much it would suck to ride that.

    indeed...I've always wanted to make a trip of it...hit up the ozarks, and the roads along the coast, but to make it a death march, I'll pass. Have fun OP
