    I hear you!

    During my last two hours, coming back in the dark... I realized that I could not downshift my motorcycle skillfully, when coming off the interstate. My muscle memory was fading in riding the bike. It's a completely physical and mental challenge to complete it, to the point of becoming dangerous.

    But now what I know to expect, I may try to do the Bun Burner later this year (1500 miles in 36 hours or less). It will take a whole day (or more) to recover from it at the destination though. Copious amounts of beer and motrin to be administered post ride.

    No more for me unless someone wanted company and then I’d think about it. 500 a day is a great happy medium when it comes to bikes. The F6B does make it easy.
