Well guys I think this will be the route that I take home. Not exact but will try to stick to the map. Plan is well leave AL sunday and head back. Sorry I couldnt put a better picture up but its all main roads anyway. If anyone is close to this route and is willing to lend a hand if need be itd be greatly appreciated. Hopefully itll be uneventful but we all know how murphy is.

If i may make a suggestion, if you pick up 95 North around phillie it would save you a few miles. Just went that route and while several hours seem to have vanished into a black hole it was a decent drive the whole way on 95. Do watch out for some killer bumps in new york.....yikes, think the whole truck caught some air on a few of those.

FFemt14 If U get as far as Albany, Why go back to Mass? Take Rt East through Troy N.Y. and follow signs to Brattleboro Vt. It's a nice road, no Tolls and pleasant riding. I have been on it for many years. I am headed to Letterkenny tomorrow evening and I plan on taking the same rt. to Pa Rt 81. Good luck on Ur trip! Phil

ORFW left last night about 2100 or so. As of 0700 this morning, he was about half way through VA on I 81. He's running 50/50 with used oil, WOT and getting 10MPG. No problems yet.

Thanks Kenny.


Yup running WOT and 50/50 of WMO/Gas mix it averaged around 10mpg with stock NDTs on it. It will have the new G20 shoes on it next week as Jon will be out playing with his truck. Gotta admit its kinda nice knowing murphy was locked up at home. We took off from the shop loaded for bear. and all the tools a guy could need to get a truck serviced on the side of the road. Including 3-4 sets of filters. But the truck ran great and didnt need anything. We arrived into town here about 2330 hrs. other then a 4 hr pit stop at about 5 am to advoid morning rush hour in VA and a 3 hr delay with rush hour traffic in New York it was a non-stop run. Jon finally gotta see his truck after all the weeks of members messing with him. And we finally popped his cherry and brought him to the Green addiction side. (now he needs a sibling to go with it :D:D)

I did have time to sit and figure it up. i have roughly 6000 miles this year behind the seat of a deuce since march :shock: But after all the trips and such that has been taken i think i can do the 1300+ miles i did in the last 24hrs in a bob alot better vs taking the 5-600 mile trips in a stock deuce. It rides nice. and comfortably. Talk about giving someone a good shake down run and making him feel good about his truck to know it was driven accross country :D He was standing out in the middle of the road to catch it :lol:
