I bet you guys are going to do the Long Haul, given the fact you are leaving from the East Coast area, going to K.C and the Power Tour heads back east to Bowling Green. I have done 2 short segments for 2 years, then the Long Haul in 2014. Nothing but fun and I hope you find great roads on your travels to K.C. and on your way home.
In 2014, we took back roads from the Detroit area to Charlotte, NC and saw some beautiful country. On the way home from Wisconsin Dells, Wisc we had to hustle Saturday morning to catch the Lake Express boat across Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to Muskegon, Mi. so we could avoid the disaster of driving thru Chicago.
I know you will have a blast! We did 3,000 miles in 9 days.

Yep . . . finally, within the past few days actually. While I haven't seen it in person, I've seen a few photos - and it looks amazing. A complete color change - both outside - and - inside. Tons of custom touches as well. It's COOL!!!

Just in case one of you snores and the other doesn't, I don't snore! You can ditch him at the next gas station and pick me up at the next airport!!!!

Somehow I don't think that came out the way you intended. Over 1100 mile a day for 9 days straight?
