I can get to the middle of nowhere in under an hour, two hours is better for good measure.
For those who wish to take a ride, I caution you, it is a journey. It mostly involves trust. Trust that I will both get us there, and bring us back; trust that as you hang on to the strap, the backrest, or my waist, our combined safety is my number one concern; that pulling off the road and stopping for a few minutes, is just as valuable as throttling up; that the reason I am leaning to the right, closer to that semi being passed, is that in less than five feet we are going to be pushed to the left; that there is little difference in going 0mph or 35mph or 90mph, one can still let go and put there arms outstretched and still feel like they are flying (just keep one's feet on the pegs and knees in and locked to the bike)!
Just remember, we just took a container of flammable liquid, on top of a hot moving engine, and then put the whole lot between our legs...
Still want to go for a ride?
