Took Doughboy, 55 bread truck 235 4:11 I wish; probably 5:08, from home to Homecoming HQ a couple of years ago. OK, it's only about 100 miles, but it took me a long long time. Doughboy would go 50 mph, but much rather preferred about 40 mph; so that's what I did.

DC beltway traffic really didn't like it too much (going twice as fast), but they had three lanes on my left to deal with it. Trip went great, but the wonderful guys at Homecoming helped me replace a leaky axle seal before I returned.

Last year I installed an R-10 overdrive unit in Doughboy. It's more traffic friendly now; but I'm still not in much of a hurry to get anywhere.
