Most miles ridden in day?
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:50:16 PM »
Curious to see what the most miles anyone has ridden in a day (one day from getting on the bike in the AM to gettin off it in the PM but on the same day) and on which model if motorcycle it was done on?

I know there are lost of variables....weather, type of bike, splash & dash vs sightseeing, terrain, traffic density, personal stamina etc.... But on the best riding day you have had what is the furthest you have ever ridden? I have read guys that say 850-1000 miles and I say
                                                                    :coolblue:  *cough*bulls**t*cough*  :coolblue:  
 but at the same time my hat is off to anyone who has done that. For me personally about 650 miles is the max I have gone and that was on non-CVO Road King before I got my CVO SEEG. How bout you?

Eight hundred to a thousand isn't that unusual; I know several people who have done Iron Butts.  So far my longest is 672, but if I hadn't been home at that point I could have stopped for a couple hours and made a thousand.  A thousand is only about 13-14 hours actually in the saddle.

Okay...for the high mileage Iron butt guys how long did it take (number of hours) you to do those miles in that day, if you remember.

Marty,
Here's to you.... :drink: :drink: :drink:!
I missed meeting you and a lot of others at the NW GTG last week in Hood River as I am taking a few xtra days 1st week of Aug to ride to Utah National Parks/4 Corners/Colorado and back so I had to hang close for work. By looking at all the pictures I can see what a great time I missed.
We are looking at one long day (800 miles +/-) on Aug 1st to start the trip so after my return I'll post my new longest distance.

My hat's off to you guys-couldn't go that far in a vehicle with 4 wheels in a day.  Built cheap I guess.

 Keith if it is hot be carefull. When it gets over 95 I am only good for 500 miles then I melt. We do a lot of 800-900 mile days on long trips.

Picked up the '04 Pumpkin SEEG in Great Falls Montana, left at 6-6:30 AM, got home to Campbell California around 8:30 PM.  1085 miles to get used to a bike I had never ridden.
