24 days. 8,000 miles. 21 states and 4 Canadian provinces.

I rode from Oklahoma City to Key West, Florida, then rode up the Eastern seaboard into Canada, over to Cape Breton on the far east end of Nova Scotia, and then back over Maine through Quebec and Ontario to Chicago, and home.

I take at least 2 weeks off every July for a trip. I've been ALL over on the Busa. 46 states, 6 Provinces, and counting.

83 hours, 2736 miles. Coastal SC to LA, via a screwed-up southern route.
5 days, 2796 miles coming back on a central route at a more relaxed pace.
