Stopped for lunch. 300 miles so far. Another 250 or so to go. Hot. Tired. Covered in bugs. YeeHAW!

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/

This: http://goo.gl/pBRQW ...is a picture of a Victory Hammer S shift lever being repaired on the side of Wadsworth Parkway by the Victory Rep after it fell apart on a DEMO ride during the 2009 Fuel It tour.
Also, I rode both the Hammer S and the Kingpin - They both (if you'll pardon the pun) hammered my low back. I could hardly walk the next day, after two 30-45 minute demo rides.
By comparison, I was able to ride a KLR650 with the stock seat (which has a reputation for being **terrible**) back from Dallas, Texas with a stop every 75-90 minutes (mostly to get the feeling back in my hands. It's tough to isolate the vibrations from a 650 single!)
Maybe something that looks like a sportbike but rides more like a standard? (Sport Touring? I'm thinking anything from an 4th, 5th, or 6th gen VFR to a Vstrom 1000 to the FJ/ST/Concours/F800ST, etc.)
Thoughts?
Of course, I then went and sat on an SV 650 S - the one with the clip ons, not the handlebars. Many colorful metaphors were had. :)
My friend John, however, rode his non-S model from Philly to Chico, CA with no problems. He added soft luggage, Renthal motocross handlebar, and possibly a double bubble windscreen. I ride that one, and I liked it a lot. Finally 'got' why it's recommended.
Me? I love my DRZ 400. Not sure if take it on a 600 mike day trip :), but I'm not sure if take a VFR through back alleys, over curbs, and across vacant lots, or any of the other goofy places I've taken it.
Jason, you guys look to have bikes to run the marathon with, while, mine's more suited to parkour. :) (did I mention how much I love it?)
