Well the time has come for the one way trip to S. Carolina. From Jersey to Myrtle beach area is approx 600 miles, and I 'm looking at two, maybe 3 fuel stops. I'll have about 1000lbs of tools and whatnot in the bed and cap, and I'll be pulling the Harley with a few assorted jacks, spare trailer tire and rim, potable air tank,etc on the trailer. I plan on doing it in one shot, probably about 12 hours @ 65 MPH. I'm bringing extra fuel, filters, coolant, brake fluid, water. Anything else I should definitely bring? I know Scotty did this a year or so ago, but he stopped on the way IIRC. Kind of nervous about the time at speed. Holding 2700-2800 for 3 or so hours straight makes me question my sanity on this trip in the first place. I'm thinking 3.5 to 4 hours between fill ups.
I did a run out to Pennsylvania today and last weekend with about 2 hours @ 65 mph both ways and all seems well. Just for my peace of mind I replaced the torque converter last week, and all seems well.
Anything else I should bring just in case, or check before I go? Thanks.
