2,813M/29H = 97M/H

Averaging 97MPH...

So I’m convinced I’ve got something wrong.

This is the most American story I’ve seen in ages.

Just think how the nannies and carbon-footprint weenies must be fretting.

Yamaha FJR Sets Continent Crossing Record

On minute Zero, John Ryan was in Prudhoe Bay, on the North Shore of Alaska. 5,191 minutes later, Ryan was in Key West, Florida, having traversed the entire North American Continent, the long way, on his 2005 Yamaha FJR 1300, outfitted with Metzeler Z6 Interact sport-touring tires. And with those 5,191 minutes, or, if you prefer, 86 hours and 31 minutes, Ryan totally destroyed the existing time record for this trip, of 96:01, by a clean 9.5 hours!

The replies at the site are astounding.

Almost all are denouncing the trip.

We as a nation have seemingly lost our frontier spirit.
