So I'm planning my second SS1000 for this summer and am going to attempt the Lower Great Lakes circle. Here is my route ver. 1.0:

I would love some feedback from those who've done it before. My ST1300 will comfortably go 450km between fill ups and I don't really need to do this many stops but I wanted to make sure I had stops/receipts in the "corners" of the ride. Am I planning stops overkill? Or am I right to make these stops even though some aren't that far apart just to make sure I have the corners documented. There really isn't any way to cheat on this one, is there? I'd love to eliminate the first stop at Stone St in Gananoque for instance, but wanted to prove a "corner". I could easily make the trip all the way to the next stop on Brewerton Rd. for instance. Also, could I go from Brewerton Rd to say Kingsville OH and then not stop again until Tilbury, ON? These stops would be 425 ish km apart bout would eliminate a fuel stop but I wouldn't have receipts in the corners. Does that matter as much seeing as there is no way to cheat?
Finally, I know NOTHING of toll roads in the states. How much are they? Do I need exact change at the ready? Can I just tap/swipe a credit card? Are they photo billed? If I speed will I get a ticket when I reach the next booth?
I would love to hear suggestions, especially regarding my route through the states. If I picked a terrible route for a Saturday or there is a better way ie: less tolls or less traffic on a Saturday, I'd love to hear from you!
