In 24 hours, roughly 1150 miles- Meggett SC to Longview TX by way of rtes 10 & 49. In the middle of February.

In one stretch without sleep, roughly 1300 miles, including a 2-hour+ stop to have a tire replaced, another stop to buy a new helmet, and some random driving-around-looking-for-bike-shops. Elk City OK to Meggett SC, roughly 9AM Central time to 5PM Eastern time on the following day. (It's possible i dozed off for a few minutes sitting in a gas station restaurant around 4 AM)

we average about 800 a day on our road trips - all twisties, NO freeways. Laguna Seca one year we put on over 5000 miles in 5.5 days of riding - still no freeways! I'm on my superhawk and could keep going after a full day of riding, Louie's on his RC51 and is cripple but pushes on after 200 miles. (yes, custom seat, adjusted bars - all of that - it's still a torture rack)

That was my trip to see Nee! Took me FOREVER to get there though b/c of the ginormous thunderstorm that had me stuck in a nasty gas station for 2 hours! Lightening everywhere! The power went out in the gas station too! The bathroom looked like a crime scene!
