Camp Lejeune, NC. to Camp Pendleton in CA. myself and two others made this trip over a seven days. A total of 3296 mi. The longest day was on I 20 We rode about 14 hours that day before stopping for good. Hell we rode about 1500 miles total on I 20 before hitting I 10. Of course we did do some sightseeing along the way , which added to the mileage and time. From gate to gate it is only 2661 miles. Made this ride last timeon a VFR. while duty station on the West Coast have rode as far north as Wa and as far south as Baja California, Mex. While on the East Coast have covered most of FL, GA, TN, KY, SC, NC and AL and have rode internationally in Europe and Central America

 

My wife and I love to do long trips on the bikes. I've been back into riding for about2 1/2 years now. I don't like camping though. My idea of roughing it is a Holiday Inn with a B&W television . Late this summer in September we're taking a 2 week trip. We'll head to Deals Gap in NC/TN and ride in that area for a few days, then continue on to Indianapolis, IN for the RedBull Indianapolis Moto GP races. It's the inagural event for this location. They haven't raced motorcycles at Indy in almost 100 years. It should be a great time. After we'll head back south through KY, TN, NC and GA before returning to S. FL.

 

Well I haven't truly been on a road trip on my bike but I did do a long trip just to get my bike. I bought my 02 F4i in Des Moines, IA and took a bus from Stillwater, OK to Des Moines. Then rode the bike all the way back in one day, took about 12 hours (including stops for gas/food). I hadn't rode a bikefor about 8 years, so my ***/back/neck/hips were so sore that I could barelyget upfor work the next day. But man I am glad I got it. I want to go on a FL trip, that would be fun.

 

The first trip of the year will be from here (Halifax, NS), through Maine, through vermont, up to Kingston Ontario, Ottawa... and back through Quebec and New Brunswick. I know some good roads in VE/NH/ME/MA so I'll be dusting out the cobwebs there.

I figure that'll be ~3100km... ~2000 miles?

 

Yeh, I have rode long distance. 700 miles in one day. I recommend the sargent seat. I also have nelson riggs tank, tail and saddle bags. I also used a cramp buster. The ride was great just take your pain meds.

 

Did the deals gap thing. i camped in crusoe at the blue ridge motorcyle campground, $10 a night! it was great, did the gap for the first time, rode quite a ways on the motor parkway. Hit the Gap the 9th of june on a yellow F4.

i rode 220 miles the first day, 600 the next. now i need a How To on the 16000 mile service for an F4?

ps Loved it.

 

For those interested, I posted up my story of riding my CBR 4000km in 5 days.... it's over in Ninja world right now as I can't post it here yet.

Just came back from my trip to CO, UT, NV, CA and AZ. Did alittle over 5000 miles in 12 days. I would post some pics up but I lost my camera, so if you pull over in CO or UT, and find one, let me know! Also, dont go to Handlebar motorsports in Durango CO. They charged me 230 for a 190/50 Dunlop tire. I gues they knew I was in a hard place when I wore my tire through, so needless to say I didnt want to get a front tire through them or im sure my total would have been close to 500 bucks.

 

well i have'nt gone camping yet butyesterday went on my first full day ride from peabody ma to laconia nh (bike week)to plymouth ma back to peabody ma. in all it was only about 350 miles for th day but had i not been sitting in traffic for a couple of houres here and there at laconia (bike week) it would of been closer to 500 miles. i will be going on a 4 day trip in the beginning of next month, can't wait to see how far i can go. i also got to try out my new video system on my ride about 4 hours worth, i still need a little more practice w/it so it's not so long and borring but it came out great and was a good conversation piece while waiting in traffic.
