New to the forum. Hi all!

I got jaked by a motorcycle hauler on Shiply and finally decided to attempt the 1000/24!

Flying to El Paso currently and hope to hit the road around 3p MDT. Heading to Abiline, TX tonight to get a few hours of rest and then hard charging to Vicksburg around 5a.

wish me luck and great weather!

1040 miles in 23.5 hours with 4 hours of shut eye. On 2018 Goldwing. Took the more scenic route day one and hit the road at 6am the next morning for freeway run. Took 8 stops and kept them under 10 minutes except for supper on night one.

Started in La Mesa NM went via Carlsbad, NM and ended in Vicksburg, MS.

Seat cushion and cruise control are lifesavers. Ticked the box at 60 yrs old. Done and DONE
