Small wind screen sometimes called "fly screen" , that's what Versey runs on his . the regular ones are more friendly in winter but 9 months of 12 the fly is just fine.[ch9786]

So how long does 800 miles take ? One long day or two regular ? You got the front Kawasaki pulley yet ? Its the gear your looking for on the SuperSlab [ch128523] .

Hey Gotaway, I ask the same as MM. How long did it take you to do the 800 miles? I'm going to MM's next month and it is right about 800 miles each way. I'm planning on doing it in 2 days. Would love to do it in just one day but I just don't think I have it in me.

Springman , if ya running up the SuperSlab in La. bring a 1/2gal gas can. The Interstate exits are like 70 miles apart ... to far to skip any of them. To get fuel or go to the next one ??? :-/

Thanks for the info Gotaway

MM, I doubt I can do 800 miles in one day so I will probably take the natchez trace trail.

SpringMan , There is a nice camp ground at the Southern end just north of Natchez . 350 ish miles later you'll find an exit for US-64 , go east for 2 more hours (Fayetteville) , take Tn.-50 north 15 min.'s and left on Tn.-129 for 4 min.'s , and my driveway is on the left --- M and M Ranch rd.

Once you get on US-64 use the GPS to my address . The speed limit on US-64 is 65mph for most of it.

maybe ??? :-?

There is another nice campground just North of the US-64 junction but your so close to here, by time ya get to it that it doesn't matter .
