I did ride a BMW K75SA from here in NH to New Orleans in 2004. That's the longest bike trip I've done, or probably will do, 3500 miles total. My travel ambitions have been limited by family up to now.

I've been retired for a couple of years, and the wife just retired last month, and the youngest daughter just turned 21. So things are going to change. I'm going to do a lot more and longer road trips from now on. The bike is getting to be a less attractive option for the longer jaunts, both for the reasons you pointed out, and also because I want to have with me 2 DSLR bodies, battery chargers, 4 lenses, a big, heavy tripod, and my laptop with Photoshop on it. Not possible on the bike!

Maybe our paths will cross someday out there in the wide open spaces.
