As promised I'm starting a thread for my upcoming 50CC The Hard Way (NY to SF in less than 50hrs) this weekend. 20 other riders will be sharing I-80 with me for 2 days. Some of you know I purchased a new 2016 FJR that I plan to ride for this. I only have about 4K miles on it with the longest day being 600 miles the day I rode it home from Ohio. It's still not as comfortable to me as my ST is, but its getting there. Really wish I would have had time to knock out a few long days just to see what might hurt, but working 2 jobs did not allow that to happen. . I suspect my knees might bother me as the peg position is quite a bit higher than the ST and who knows what else. The new Russell seat felt pretty good on the few short runs that I've used it. Butt, the real issue with this ride is staying awake. I plan to take a 4hr rest at some point, probably Western Nebraska. If that's not enough, I'll pull the plug and flower sniff my way home...live to ride another day. I've done a handful of BBG's (1500 miles/24hrs) and each one took all I had. This ride is essentially back to back BBG's. Sept 10th 4am EDT we hit the road from Coney Island and need to be staring at the Golden Gate bridge by 3am PDT 2 days later. Wish me luck and follow along if you are bored.
