I have Family in Nashville, I live in SoCal, when my VTX is back up and running I was planning to ride from CA to TN and back. My wife thinks I'm nuts and will get killed, but that is another topic.

how did you find the ride on the VTX over all for comfort and what was the fuel/gas situation like, I find I can only get about 140 miles out of a tank, so what concerns me most is running out of gas somewhere along the route in the middle of BFE.

I will be riding light, maybe one bag with some clothes and not much else, no passenger and unless I find a riding partner I will be riding alone.
If it were me, A couple hundred mi. shakedown run before the big trip would ease my mind for a long haul like that. Thorough planning of the itinerary helps, incl. all possible stops for the night and towns in between, maybe with a couple Forum members to ride with you part way. And for any other help you might need. 140 is good, but maybe less climbing any mountains or against headwinds. I, for 1, envy you this trip, but I know my limits. GL, and stay connected here if poss. and as always no pix, didn't happen.

Ride into and through W. by GOD Va. Some of the roads there make TOTD look like a walk in the park.

Ok let's see fixed the new bags on the bike and got floor boards for the mrs and moved the iso wings up to replace my old ragged pegs and yea the mini boards are really nice. took a ride out to crystal river this weekend was super nice out and was fun to run ozello trail for first time and the place I ate at had good views to.
Heard from a friend that the Count Gilu motel in Welch, W. by GOD Va., is already booking for mid-July. There is also a small gathering of friends in Louisville, Oh. June 2-4.
