250 miles with 1 10-minute rest on my CBR 600RR.

350 miles with numerous rests on my Shadow Aero.

The CBR was way more comfortable.

Longest trip on my F4i was 5,126.3 miles over 18 days, through 10 states. Longest in 1 day was 1100 miles in 22 hours. 2nd runner up to that was 800 miles in 17.5 hours. Countless 500-600 mile weekend trips. Longest on one tank of gas was close to 190 miles, but I stopped somewhere in the middle to eat. Most I've ever done at once without stopping was around 150 miles... had to stop for gas.

That's just bleeping amazing! I drove just a hair shy of 1,100 miles in my truck (coincidentally with a bike in the back) and that sucked. I was on my way to Houston andby the time I hit San Antonio I kept sticking my head out the window and was slapping the s**t out of my face to stay awake!

In all honestly.... I have no idea on this one, LOL. This particular ride was a saddlesore 1000 IBA ride, so it had to be at least 1000 miles in 24 hours or less. Me and a couple buddies left south florida at 5 am, rode to Albany, GA and ate lunch, then came home. Going up was fine, it was the ride back that was killing me. My buddy Kurt, who was riding a 1000RR, was really starting to pass out soon. He was running off Redbulls and nodoze before we even crossed the state line back into Florida. I made it through most of Florida before I just couldn't stay awake anymore. We had to stop and rest a few times along the way, and when we got to the west palm beach service plaza I said I gotta stop and take a nap. As I pulled my helmet off Kurt was standing there, and half asleep he kinda chuckles and says "dude, you look like ****!". Apparently I was white as a ghost! Filled up my tank, went over to the bench, layed down and took a nap. Prior to this, just to show how exhausted we were... we were on the turnpike at 1:30 am, out in the middle of nowhere and there's nobody else on the road... just us. Clean straighth open road, we could have been going just about any speed we wanted to..... we were going 45 mph. Just coulnd't go any faster.... too exhausted. Finally made it home by 3 am. What a trip that was! I learned my lesson... get more than 3 hours of sleep the night before a SS1000 ride! hahah

Here's the pics from that trip....

I've done a few Saddlesores... Halifax to a Ottawa (parents to my apartment at the time)...

Last weekend I did 1100km in two easy days... almost all secondary roads ( https://cbrforum.com/m_353550/mpage_.../tm.htm#353550 )

Longest day? Not sure...

I've done ~4500km in 3 days. One trip I did was from Halifax NS to Kingston,ON, arrived for the pre-wedding ride, wedding, woke up at 5am I turned back went from Kingston, ON to Halifax, NS.

Big miles are possible... and they get kinda fun

I must be crazy, but I'm actually contemplating driving from Jersey down to Sarasota, FL to meet up with some friends for a long weekend, and then drive back. Close to 1200 miles each way. Is this doable over maybe 3 days each way?
