wow wow wow....rode alone?
Yep. It's amazing how time flies by when you are in "flow" on the highway. It did get a bit boring at times since the road is so straight and featureless. Stopped at a CrappyTire in Bellevile to buy some earplugs. That helped with wind noise though I couldn't get the damned things to seat properly. Stopped for an hour to visit parents near Prescott and did a couple of health breaks, but otherwise made pretty good time doing 120 to 130 all the way.
BTW I can recommend the North Face duffel strapped to the pillion seat as an alternative to motorcycle luggage. 70 litres and pretty much waterproof. Even strapped a suit bag on top of that (the Ogio suit duffel).
