Default What is the longest trip you've made

What is the longest trip you have taken on your motorcycle?? I have taken some crazy, LONG rides..South Carolina to Sacramento in 3 days on a FZR600 and back ( in 4 days) and back again.....that is close to 9000 approximate miles done in a span of only 9 months...I rode from South Carolina to Florida, New Jersey, Indianopolis..
That poor little bike was less than a year old and had 60,000 miles on her...I ride about 25,000 miles a year now
I am just curious if I am the only one who is NUTS!!! HA HA[:-]

Well Limpz, I haven't done anything nearly as crazy as that!

But I also had a 1990 FZR600 that I took to Illinois in APRIL back in 1992! It was about 35° when I left my house and about the same for the last hour when I came home. About 1 hour down the road, I was going to turn around and come back. My hands were absolutely frozen! I would take turns putting my hands under the fairing by the engine to keep them warm. It was only about a 500 mile trip each way though.

Haven't had much opportunity to do any long trips since.

You're not the only crazy bastard on this site. I rode from Cincinnati to Orlando in one day, just shy of 1000 miles in 16 hours. My quads and hamstrings hurt like hell that night. Nothing a little Beam couldn't take care of though. I then rode back to Cincinnati 3 days later. Cincinnati to New Orleans in one day. I could go on and on. I ride about 15,000 miles every year. If my sex life was like my motorcycle life, I would be a man *****. I contanstly get a different bike every 2 years or so. [sm=icon_beat.gif]

When I did my cross country trips I would write the mileage down and tape it to my triple tree and then not stop until I hit 1000 miles later!!
I have had around 45 motorcycles myself

You two are my hero's. The most i've done is from Jax to daytona or Orlando. Only about 2 hours or so each way. I'm looking foreward to doing some bike road trips this coming summer though.

Must have had one helluva gas tank on that thing to not stop for 1k miles. [sm=smiley2.gif]

I had to stop every 160-180miles to fill up when we did the Saddlesore 1000 ride.

That bike would get about 200 miles between fill ups and it was a chance to stretch
