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. Tom Bowman Atlanta

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. Stuart

Yes, push the plate to the left (toward the front of the bike). The spring will get slack. Mark B2 A2 At 11:03 AM -0600 5/24/2000, Dash Weeks wrote:
