Yeah I was surprised at all the hospitality from everyone, practically throwing their bikes at me. However I don't like riding/using other peoples stuff as I don't won't to break something (even if they don't care I still do.) That and it's setup for someone else, I'm pretty picky on my setup.
I'm guessing that that was part of the problem, I just wasn't comfortable on those bikes. 
BTW this won't be in the very near future either, I spent to much on this trip as it was.
Damn I just hijacked this thread 
Someone can throw a bike my way...maybe one with a plate on it...
Yes, I was under contract and now my contract has changed again to "No Riding" for at least 60 days, starting tomorrow at Noon...
. But.....Some interesting things have happened and I might be in the hunt for an addition. Maybe I can get a demo ride this summer in the tree lines of the Rackster's backyard from a certain connection he might have.
Who knows, I might have an extra set of tie downs in the truck if all goes well...Just Saying...Yes, I was under contract and now my contract has changed again to "No Riding" for at least 60 days, starting tomorrow at Noon...
We will definitely need slowerthanu to assist on some of the loops.
Almost no time at all, I just added 20 cents per gallon to our gas price at that time to give me a nice round number, and i used fueleconomy.gov, and i keep forgetting you have one of those big ass goofy enclosed trailers for ONE bike
But in all seriousness idk where you came up with 1400, but to each their own i guess, I just know a guy who has a 1998 gmc with the 350 which is a 5.7L and it got 17MPG averaged over a trip to Cedar Creek trails in MI and thats carrying 5 bikes 5 guys plus gear and a trailer
You boys should know better than to question Coach
Coach, carry on....................
Rack is right NEVER question me

Because this is the real world and not everything always goes as planned, which is why I always over budget stuff. Which is better, budgeting for $1400 and only having it cost $1200 or budgeting for $1000 and it ends up costing $1200? If you keep on doing the latter you'll end up broke/bankrupt before you know it.
Also wait until you actually start driving yourself, you'll notice that those MPG ratings are a pile of
. The guy who I bought my truck from was averaging in the 12 mpg, yet I'm averaging 14 mpg. 
How can that be? Well because everyone drives different.Because this is the real world and not everything always goes as planned, which is why I always over budget stuff.

I have driven, but the longest I have ever driven in 1 sitting is 6 hrs, and I only have like 150-200 hours of total driving or something close to that

Damn I've driven more then that in a single seating.
So you've driven at least 6 hrs and at the most have only driven a total of 200 miles. Dang you drive slow. 
When is the annual DBA get together at Bass Ale Lake going to be?
