Default Ok, the Memphis lunch run is on this time!

The weather is finally getting better, I have a free weekend that I can roll out, so there it is.

This Saturday, May 23, if anybody is feeling adventurous, come meet me for lunch at Dyer's Burgers located at 205 Beale Street in Memphis.

I'll be leaving here around 5am, getting into Memphis approximately 7 hours and 480 miles later. An hour or so for lunch, and I'll be back home by 9pm or so. Not a bad day's ride on the Busa.

Anybody up for it? I know there were a few maybes before, so if schedules work out, I'll see ya there.

What type of tires you running and what kind of mileage you getting from them?
How many miles are you getting on a tank of gas?

Ok back to topic, I wish I could but there's no way this weekend.

I normally run Michelin Pilot Roads. I get around 11k per set on average.

If I'm easy on the throttle (freakin' hard to do BTW on a Busa!) I can eek out about 225 from a tank. In reality though, I start looking for a station around 175 and the light usually isn't on yet.

I tell ya what, after doing an Iron Butt or two, I came to the realization that there wasn't anywhere in the US I couldn't be in 2 days if I put my mind to it. Hmm. It *is* a three day weekend, that's almost enough time to go to Maine for some New England Clam Chowder. Again.
