Default How Far U Ride Be4 You Stop??

Just wondering about how far you tend to ride before you need to stop & get off the bike?

You run the tank out?

You get off in about 1 hour? 2 hours? 1/2 hour?

Curious!!

Thx,

I could ride till my tank went dry, fill'er up and go some more. It really depends on the day, how much time I have, where i want to go, do I have any of my buddies riding with me, is my girlfriend riding on back ETC. Any one of those reasons will help to determine how far and how long. I love to ride. Its plain and simple. Then again I have no problem ridding when its 30 degrees outside or if its pouring rain. I ride in the rain all the time. You might think im crazy but its very good practice for those times you get caught off guard by mother nature. I truely feel that you should get plenty of seat time in all types of weather so you are better prepared. Especially when riding at night.

I am pretty tall so riding much over an hour really kills my back. I try to stop every hour and just stretch quick.

I like to ride an hour or so when riding with buddies it's nice to stop and discuss where you are riding to or any one needs gas and stretch legs .
