I rode down this year on my Ducati Features ST2 and carried 45 pounds of club magazines in my saddle bags! Jim Lipsey rode with me on his 7 900SS, and we rode the entire way down from The Ducati Hypermotard Charlotte on back roads. As Jim put it, “This was the longest I have ever been on a motorcycle.” by DucatiPress Notice he did not say the greatest miles.
