Longest ride

rusty rider · 08-23-2008, 02:46 AM

My son 1st football game of the season was tonight. Took my GZ from Terre Haute to East side of Evansville, IN. Going down ran into rain storm suited up and kept on riding. I was only in the rain for about 10 miles, left the suit on and rode on down to Evansville I was steaming by the time I arrived.

Unfortunetly we lost but my boy had a good game 8 tackles and a blocked pass. He must be the mailmans son 6'3" 215lbs, and I'm 5'6" 170. :lol:

Overall the ride was pretty nice, I didn't get any better gas mileage on the highway than I do in town. I ran 65mph down, and 70mph back. Total of 257 miles in one day. My seat was awesome didn't have one problem with the rear end, but my shoulders are sore, and fingers on the throttle hand were numb. I've almost put 5,000 miles on my bike, and I plan to take a longer trip the first of September. I will have pictures of the seat modification by the time I get back from my trip around Southern Indiana.

I sense a road trip for me to west central Indiana to inspect a seat !!

Maybe with better coordination I can actually find you this time.
