Trust me - I just did CLE to Jax
I was giddy when I saw 11.8 - Average- flash across the dash.
That's only because there was no time pressure on this trip.
If you push the pedal - You'll be lucky to get 7-8......
 
My Duramax didn't get too much more than 10 miles to the gallon to Florida and back, pulling a 20 foot enclosed trailer, loaded with bikes. I ran about 80mph most of the time. Pulling my 14 footer I get about 14.

I still think it would be cheaper for us to drive. Need 2 rental bikes 4 plane tickets cause we cant go to a track and leaves the dogs homes plus hotel expense. In all the trips we have taken half the fun is the travel time there. Def have to plan accordingly and make some stops on the way out and back at places we want to ride. I agree with georgie it needs to be a 2-3 week trip.

Ive seen the MXVacations dealio...I thought the price went up for the MXVet weekend.

Anyway, I would much rather drive. I drove from San Diego home when I bought my RV. Wish I would have had more time to see a lot of things. I would take the southern route one way and the northern on the other. This country is huge and beautiful. Last year we went out west to the Badlands, Yellowstone, Devils tower, Mount Rushmore and the Titons. For anyone who hasnt been, it is amazing. Words and pictures can not do any of it justice. Must be seen in person.


Im in, lets get this set in stone!

Friend of mine did the Vet National this year. Flew out rented a bike. Raced a brand new 2019 Yamaha YZ 450. Seems to me with the distance and expense, that would be the way to go. Yeah renting a bike is expensive, so is 4 days of driving and diesel fuel out and back.

Powers was loaned a bike from TransWorld.
 
Some friends of mine have a guy from Arizona that hauls cars and bike scheduled to pick up near cleveland and take a load to glamis in March. With a full load it’s about $300 a bike round trip

CLE to San Diego = 2,405 miles one way
X 2 = 4,810 miles total
Divided by 10 miles to the gallon = 481
481 X 3.25 (cost of gal of fuel)

$1,563.25 in fuel ......if you can get a consistent 10 MPG.

MapQuest says 35 hours -- UGH

Split it 2-4 ways. Makes it real manageable. Plus the memories and experience you’ll get traveling with your buddies to ride dirtbikes.....can’t put a price on that!

Go home 1985!


Ok on serious note. I scheduled two weeks vacation for thanksgiving week and the week after. Plus I can throw down 80 He of comp time and take it for that third consecutive week and possibly take a 4th....in a row.

Can roll out spend thanksgiving day in Colorado. (Roll up for sharc) kidding....ha. And just iTinerize the travel days. If we got 7 days to do it. Might as well hit different landmarks. Mt Rushmore...etc. dad wants to take Harley and follow the motorhome once we get anywhere weather is warm....

This could be one awesome trip....
