Longest ride?
 

Wasn't a post in here so thought id see if anyone could beat this. Last year had a buddy on a 04 GSXR 1000 ride from Council Bluffs, IA to Denver, Vegas, Cali (up and down highway 1) then few more southern states, back to Lincoln NE, then home to CB IA again. Couldnt feel his right pinky for a month and a half. Did this all in 5 days and around 3,900 miles or so (can't remember exactly. He found out about the 2ct recall on the way from Lincoln to Council Bluffs. The tread started to separate from the core of the tire causing huge vibrations. Did this with a backpack strapped to the tail and nothing else. He ran into someone from Alaka doing the same thing. I wish I could just up and leave on a trip like this but don't think I could follow through.

In May I'll be doing 6,500+ miles in 9 days.:panic:

it'll be a long time before I rival that... but I plan on putting about 5k on in September

Hence your name! That is sick!!

I rode my SV to San Antonio (1400 mi???) from Knoxville, 19 hrs, only stopping for gas, a drink, and a snack.

Left at midnight and arrived at 9 pm

A friend of ours from NC, Yellow Wolf, got his iron butt on his goldwing at Deals Gap.

Think I did a little more than 750 miles in a day. That was just riding all around Vegas though. Just to ride. Not to go anywhere.

A friend-of-a-friend's uncle (it's true, I swear!) has a VStrom that he rode from Sioux City, IA to Alaska and back. He put 85,000 miles on that VStrom before he replaced it with a new one.

The best I've done was about 300 miles in one day. That was on my SV650.

I wonder how long the guy with the 04 F4i that put 100K on last year's longest ride is.

Somebody want to PM him BTW, I would, but can't.

My uncle rode From Michigan to Florida on his old Nighthawk when he was younger said it is a trip he will NEVER do again lol.

I'll be riding to NC at some point this spring/ early summer. Try to go while it's still somewhat cool and hit up my brother for an airsoft game. That should be a good way to finish off the stock tires. ~500 miles each way- down on friday back on sunday

my best has been 1157 miles in 24 hours, but plenty of 500-600 days before, this trip to cali and back is gonna average 500-600 +-200miles for 8 straight days, wtf are we thinking

Wow, if i rode for as long as some of you guys, i think id be stuck in that position forever!!
My longest ride was like 2 hours

I think it was "Hey Dad, Lets take a road trip this summer"

Longest ride 1600 miles two Dragon passes 30hr 8min

the ride was your idea, i just kept buggin you about it, and when gramps jumped in it was like ill take all the blame for it since no one can yell at me for dumb ideas since im full of them :lol:

About 1,100 miles in less than 20 hours ....Ft.Riley, Kansas to Columbia, South Carolina.

thats not fair, you have a land based rocket for a ride :bs:

I'm Sorry my longest ride WAS BEHIND drewpy. He goes fast then slows down, fast, slow and this lane then that lane. That was just 5 miles to get dinner....

:whistle: Actually that was on a Honda Shadow ....:sorry:

i can explain the speeding up and slowing down, if i sneeze and twitch the throttle im at 100.. whats 5-10 mph, a hiccupor a burp?

i thinki rememeber the ride you are talking about to the mexican. i was really bored and was still working on destroying my seals.. ie wheelies

we do about 800 miles in a day when we tour in the summer....our trips from Seattle to Laguna are via the long route: 3 days of 800+ miles a day down and then the same back. Hoping to do an Iron Butt ride this summer (1000 miles in under 24 hours).

Whatever, I've ridden with you too... Your inconsistent speed is a thing of frustration... 80... 100... 50... 80... 35... 70... :wtf:

That shit kills me.

300 miles at the most in one day.. Yeah.... I suck.

You suck because you haven't been on the track yet.

Yes it's true... :panic:

:panic::panic::panic::panic::panic:

I will have a Buell 1125R out on the track for a demo ride this spring. Not the same I know...

Yeah, but still cool.

500-600 miles, I don't know I usually don't keep track.

the rc has so much engine breaking when i take my hand off to stretch it or relax, the bike slows down a shit load, im getting a cruise control before may to help with this problem

And on the 636 it was?????

me being retarded...

on a side note, im snowed in tiffin, i cant leave till they drop it to a leave 2 snow emergancey, so ill be home as soon as i can be

Your still in bed!! Level 2 I can't drive...right

i was in bed, im up now, we just got to a level 2 we were level three, they closed the school it was so bad up here

I drove a block of ice to work this morning.

i bet, whats the roads like down there?

I did 160 miles hard miles in one day, that road wears your ass out.

pretty good

was that all on the dragon?

yeah, I also rode the skyway and back home in the same day. That 8 times back and forth was all within a couple hours with minimal break periods.

Pussy. Go talk to yellow wolf about his iron butt on the Dragon

Rick is insane that's all I have to say about that. I didn't even want to do that many, TT Ray made me. Ray is a slave driver when it comes to runs back to back.
