Hood, TX (between Austin and Dallas) to Ft. Stewart, GA (near Savannah) in two days on a Yamaha Virago 535 with me (225 lbs) and a full duffel bag on the back. No problem at all. I'm even more confident with the LS650.

One of my new favorite quotes comes from the movie "Cars", which my grandkids were watching the other day. In the movie, one car says to the other, referring to route 66, "They didn't drive it to make good time; they drove it to have a good time." If your buddies are going to go like demons on the superslab, seeing how much asphalt they can chew up in a day; then you're going to be miserable on the Savage, no matter how many comfort/performance mods you make. If you and your buddies are content to cruise some of the better highways, skip the interstates, and enjoy the ride and the scenery; then you're going to have a trip to cherish, and the Savage will be great for the road.

You're invisible and naked.
Ride safe,
Jay

How I crossed Kansas on the slab:

So I could ride here:

Mrs. Doc does not enjoy pillioning the interstate. The general boredom puts her to sleep, and she is not comfortable snoozing on the back of a bike for some strange reason.

Oh yeah, we met our daughter and son in law at the Denver airport. Spent the week headquartered in a time share in Avon and rode as much as possible. The Savage had no trouble bagging a couple of passes on the way to Leadville!

Reply #22 - 05/26/09 at 08:35:50 good way of putting it! and the movie cars was really good even though it was disney lol i'll have 2 ask them what the plans are speed wise and route choice, because that would make the difference. i'm just glad i don't have 2 buy a huge and ugly touring bike to enjoy a trip!!!!
