Well, the time is rapidly approaching to where my buddy and I are riding our bikes from Seattle, Wa to Las Vegas, Nv. We will be leving Sept. 24th. Google maps says it's 1183 miles one way and a 19 hour drive. This will be my first long ride. We will be outfitted with full leathers for the trip and walki talkies in our helmets as we can communicate on the tedious ride. We are going to try and make it in a day. I HONESTLY don't even know if that is possible, but what I do know is I am going to be ONE SORE PUPPY when we hit Vegas. My buddy and I share the same B-Day and just turned 21, so this being a milestone in our life we want to do it big. We each have about 3 years of riding under our belts, but haven't gone farther than a few hundred miles at a time.

What should we expect? We will only have our backpacks as a means for carying things. We are mailing some clothes to our hotel so they get there a day or so before we do, so we don't have to worry about all that jazz.

I am honestly at this point more nervous than I am excited only because of the lengthy commitment this is going to be.

I will be on my 94 CBR 600F2
He will be on his 07 ZX6-R

Any advice? Any Anything?
