Thanks Paul! Alas, was just north of Daytona when I sent it, would've taken you up on your offer. Now in SC, gotta be in MI by Thurs.

Graham, which side of PA? Might be able to hit western PA and still make MI, may also be heading east to VT after MI before swinging back west.

Love this list! Should've gotten my email working on my phone earlier... :)

Peace,
  +Lie

You're in FLA now? Are you coming back through PA? We could do a
compression check on your engine and a few other tests,  Graham

 So the first half of my '92 CB 750 Nighthawk cross-country trip has
been
fun: 8 weeks, 9K miles, SF > LA > PHX > Sturgis > ND > Maine > FL,
with a
few epic sidetrips along the way (e.g. dodging falling tree pieces
in heavy
rain and winds along the tail of the dragon at midnight in
torrential
thunderstorm with 10-30 lightning flashes/sec -- fun!).

82,000 miles on the engine now.  No one can believe i'm doing it on
my
20-year-old Nighthawk.  Everyone says frame will probably rust
before engine
gives out.  I've met jealous Harley guys in pretty much every state
so far.

Been lucky to get over 35mpg, sometimes down to 25 on windy
interstates.
 I've got maybe 200 pounds of gear, but still seems low.  What MPG
are those
on this list with similar 90's CB750s getting normally?

Thinking to head back west across the country next, if you've
interest in
a visit, ping me direct.

Engine woes:  starting to occasionally lose power in top gear on
highway.
 I pull over, fill tank, she's fine again.  Heat and wind may be
contributing factors.

Bought a laser thermometer, right side exhaust (when sitting on
bike) is
consistently ~50 degrees colder than the other thee.  Any ideas if
that's a
problem and how I might could fix?

Love this bike.  Well worth the $1000 I paid.  :)
Peace,
 +Lie
