      The long day had 5-6 gas stops and 2 dine and dashes (I paid). Never found anytime for sightseeing. All those pit stops ate a least a couple hours out of the saddle time. I bought this enormous can of chain wax at a Suzuki/spa dealer in Minot ND. My chain/sprocket were already toast by then. It seemed fine before I left. I installed a new chain and sprocket for the ride home, but the gearing was different. It raised the rpms 300-400. I didn't camp the whole way, I pussed out and stayed in a few hotels.
