OK so here is the deal. If I have a 600 by september, then I am going. Parents are cool with it. One of my friends has a 06 GS500f and he is planning on going. He is hoping to get a 600 also, but if he doesn't, do you think that bike would be able to handle a long highway ride?

I found the answer. First time I looked it up it said tickets would be mailed in March. Now it has moved to July.

When will my tickets be mailed?
Ticket mailings begin mid July of 2008.

Yes.

Yeah the bike will have no problems... the rider may... how long a ride is that for you?

He started riding late last season. It is a seven hour ride from here. He is used to driving really long trips, but not riding them. Hell he drove up there friday to see his girlfriend and is driving back tomorrow. Still not at all the same though.

yeah it's not the same... I've done 5 days of 13+hr and 800miles+ driving with no ill effects other than $ being sucked out of my bank account for gas and food.

on my bike though I imagine I'll be pretty sore after a couple 500+ days...

I'd try to just build up to it... work your way up to the full trip

if you can't for some reason... ever time you stop for gas... take a good 15 mins after you fill up... to stretch and walk around...
