A little over 400 on the GZ was my best day.
This was on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a 45 mph speed limit. Edit 418.7

Re: anyone here done over 200 at once?
I did a couple of rides close to that on the Geezer, but, even on my larger bike, 180 is about when I want to quit usually. I once did about 550 in a single day on the big bike, but I took all day and it was the end of a larger ride. Usually my neck shoulders and upper back start to get stiff at the 3 hour mark.

Re: anyone here done over 200 at once?
Rode from Dalton, GA. to Cheaha State Park in Alabama one time. It was like 254 round trip.
It was nice to have a sleeping bag stuffed between my back and my rear luggage box. It acted as a back rest and allowed me to change booty placement as I got tired. I've also pulled a Dalton - Gatlinburg ride, which isn't that many miles but it's also about 3 hours. |
