It's nice that I finally got a chance to do 500 miles on a Sunday morning. Man, that felt good.

The time I left the house

Took this one at the gas station just to show you guys the chain after 500 miles.

Forgot to mention, it was 54* when I left at 4:12 that's why I had my heated jacket liner on but not the gloves.
 
500 miles in 7 hours with lots of stops? With an avg of 71 mph it's clear that you need to beef up law enforcement in your area!:lol:

I was just going with the flow.:poke::rofl:

By the way, there's not that many of them out there early in the morning.:laugh:
 

Sure was. I have a feeling that 1000 miles within 24 hours is not that hard to do. If I can do 500 miles before noon with lots of stops to take pics, what's another 500 miles from noon to midnight?:whistle:

I really think I'm ready to do the Iron Butt.
 
Nice ride and great pics!!:thumbsup:

In the process of first test on your chain lube. Will let you know my results soonest!!
 
Great pics and I'm always happy to hear you make it back safe .
I love the one of picnic table .
That would be a great place to hang out and appreciate mother nature .
 
You're one of my heroes also! I got some riding in this weekend but no where near what you got. :thumbsup: Maybe next weekend though. :beerchug:

I think I need to invest in a seat because my bum was hurting me after about 100 miles. ???
 
I REALLY need to get up with you, and ride !! That's when I like to ride, NO TRAFFIC !!

Although 500 miles would probably hurt my feelings :bowdown:

And seeing my chain would probably hurt yours, LoL


I'm getting ready to go have at it with mine, just got home from a ride (a whole 90 miles:laugh:) How do you clean yours ? I usually just spray mine with chain wax, wipe it down good, then spray on some more & let it sit over night, but it don't look as good as yours.
