What a blast. 1,600 miles in 3 days. 85% was on very twisty roads. I started with a very U shaped rear tire on the ST1300. By St. Marys at the northern end of Hwy 16 I had worn away the sidewalls so much the centre part of the tire was standing proud.
I would thoroughly recommend this route to anyone
