This was from Port Angeles, around the Olympic peninsula, down to Cresent City, up the 199 (brilliant road!) to Grants Pass, then up the I5 to Vancouver. The 'hardest' part of the route was the long, long, boring I5 (80mph in the rain - no fun). So 2000 miles over twisties would be doable and magic! Shame it is isn't closer to here (Victoria BC). Though I will submit the VFR is better at this than the full-on super sports, even one as 'soft' as a 929.

That'll separate the riders from the posers. I wish I lived closer. Hmm. 400-500 miles per day over 4 days on twisty roads? That’ll separate the riders from the posers. I wish I lived closer.
