Street Atlas says it is 2116 miles using Federal highways and
back roads, 51 hours, 49 minutes. Using primarily Slab it is
2284 miles but takes a mere 40 hours, 45 minutes. If you're
really motivated, its a day to Mobile, a day to Marshall, TX, a
third day to Amarillo, and a fourth to Moab......but they'll be
long days.

It's near 1900-2000 miles. I'm leaving in 3-4 days for a roundabout route
to Moab of around 3000 miles from Stuart, Florida. Will continue more or
less north after the rally.

Yes, push the plate to the left (toward the front of the bike). The
spring will get slack.
