Mine was a group ride of about 450 miles on pretty much nothing but twisties. That doesn't hold a candle to others here, but you couldn't tell my butt that on that day...lol

And neos...it sounds like you need a throttle rocker for trips like that! Whew, that thing has saved my right wrist a TON of pain!

Averaged a little over 500 miles a day from Ventura, CA to Joplin, MO over 3 days.

Same on the return trip :D

Joplin? ain't NOTHING in Joplin!

I have done a couple of big rides.
First one was this one in 2008 from StLouis to Chicago to Davenport, IA and back. Just under 1,000 miles in three days with my poor sore wife on the back.

Then last year we did a big ten state ride from StL through the mountains of Arkansas to New Orleans, across the gulf coast (and Dauphin Island which was cool) to Panama City Beach, back through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois.
2300 miles in 8 days over 10 states.

Later last year for the FZ6 Pony Express, I rode to Dallas, TX and back in 47 hours: about 1300 miles. We actually rode 785 miles in 23 hours including spending 8 hours with some friends in Springfield, MO hanging out. Could have done an Iron Butt there, but we weren't trying.

Preliminary planning for California this year. Wanting to go to San Diego.

535 Miles in just over 7 Hours. Averaged about 70 MPH including stops. On the way there I was bad off when i got there, but I wore compression shorts on the way back and still had some miles left in me. Made a world of difference.

1,100 miles in 19 hours on a bone stock 2006 FZ6 at the end of last season.

Lost my paperwork for Iron Butt so I guess I'll be doing one again this summer!
