TAT bike choice

J

Not my idea to do I40/I75 in one hit, but some of the boys want to do this in 4 days then get stuck in to the TAT. I'm an iron butt of old - so we'll see who croaks first eh?

Thanks for your suggestions - I have all of them on my pre-TAT route except for Deal's Gap area. My initial trip included the Eastern States and Newfoundland / SE Canada, but then the TAT opportunity came up - so it'll have to wait for another time.

Got a little ride up the length of NZ on monday onwards, then the mods / weight reduction , planning for the Ten will really start. Oh joy.

Did your Heros mods significantly reduce the overall weight - I'm guessing that the wheels / forks / exhaust must have accounted for a lot?

Did I read somewhere that you are thinking of a full Dakar race entry - or is it a dream? What bike if so?
