So I smashed up my Sportster on the freeway last week, leaned into a pothole and got launched off he bike at 60mph. It took a while to convince my girlfriend to let me use her Savage for the trip to SoCal for the born free show. So I'll be smashing down I5 from sacramento to LA for the show, party, party, them cruise up scenic hwy 1, beach camp, then continue up hwy 1 for the rest of the trip back home to sac.
Anyone have experience with the savage on interstate 5 or done 1k miles in 4 days? The bike is pretty darn light in weight and I don't wanna get thrown around by cross or head wind. I'm 175lbs and probably 35lbs of gear. Other question is that the bike pins at 85mph and there's no tach and I doubt there's a rev limiter, probably be cruising at 80mph hrs at a time hoping to not hurt anything. Bike runs strong, a quick tune up and safety check and I'm good to go hopefully.
