My brother and Idid the SaddleSore 1000 back in September of this year. For those of you that don't know, that's 1000 miles in 24 hours. My brother was on a CBR1100XX and I rode my fightered Hurricane. We ended up finishing it in about 16 hours. It POURED for the first 200 miles but after that the weather was great. Although it was painful, (imagine no windshield for 1000 miles) it was one of the best times of my life. So long story short...how far have you went in "a day".

 

I had to vote, I just couldn't resist.

 

I did a few days over the 1000 mile mark.

The hardest one I've done was - ride from my home to a wedding ( ~1000 miles) arrive in the morning, went for the groomsmen/biker morning ride, had lunch, went to the suppertime wedding, got to bed at ~12,hit the road 3am the next day to make the 1000 milereturn journey. The only way it was possible was only having one drink ( had to cheer the party ) and drinking litres of water...

It was fun and a couple of us who made simular rides got mentioned in wedding speeches... mostly humerous jabs at looney two-wheelers.

 

i would love to be able to take a longer trip with no worries. i am just worried *something* will go wrong when im hundreds of miles away from home. although i have been on about a 200 something mile trip.
