Post by: sebwiers on August 11, 2015, 10:03:55 PM
Going from St. Paul MN to Bristol Indiana.

Heading to meet up for midwest members of the www.customfighters.com (http://www.customfighters.com) website for a couple days camping.  (FJ is my daily rider, I have a project 'fighter' bike in the shop.)  Gonna hang, ride trashy dirt bikes, drink, go to a local drag strip, bang on a group project somebody is towing in (motorcycle engine go kart), etc.

Sounds like a fun time.

566 miles is a nice day of riding.  :good:

Probably more like 400, because 566 is all the way to Bristol.  Gonna overnight in Chicago (or at least thats the plan - might just leave really early Friday instead)

How was the trip?  Would you recommend the route you took?  Sounds like a blast!
