Cruise Control, Cruise Control, did I mention Cruise Control. Your wrist will go before your ass. Remember, like when driving, everytime you stop it's 20 to 30 minutes added to trip. Between slowing down, getting gas, checking over the bike (making sure everything is still tight, making sure your tires are good, and your chain isn't too tight or loose), taking a restroom break, a few stretches of the acking muscles, a drink and snack, and getting back on the road and up to speed takes mre time than you think.

All your traffic will be from New York to Richmond so plan your departure time accordingly. Rt 301 is nice, from Delaware to Richmond, to avoid Washington.

Gasbuddy.com, plan your gas stops. There are some long spots with no gas.

Have emergency information on you (just in case). Give someone your intinerary and time schedule (just in case) and stay in contact with them. Whie riding through the south sing the songs from "Deliverance" and "Easy Rider".

Take everything you will need for the bike. You can always buy clothes when you get to Florida but if you're stuck on the road you can't buy whatever you need for the bike.

As far as WW (wild women) just get numbers and tell them you're in a rush and will call them later.
