Taking the Hawk to cali for the weekend (probably)

Buddy in the Navy has some open time this weekend, so I'm planning on heading out to Coronado after work tomorrow. Looks to be about 6 hours/ 380 miles on the stock seat, so wish me luck! Weather should be nice, just gotta make the logistics line up as there are a couple of outlying factors still

Gets really windy on the stretch of I8 west of Yuma, really bad wind gusts so definitely be careful there. I've had a few sketchy moments there in a cage, couldn't imagine having to navigate that on a bike..

I think I'm taking the 10 out thatta way. I also have a friend in Mission Viejo that I'll be visiting, plus I know the route/ gas stations better.

Understandable. I just try to avoid I10 through LA at all costs.

I've done 6+hrs. before on my hawk. My **** hurt after, which sent me to the computer to find a different seat. Oh and a good set of helmet speakers will make the trip a lot more enjoyable. Just my .02

Good luck and be safe.
