Longest day ride was from Indianapolis, IN to Erie, Pennsylvania. It was 400 or 500 miles don't really remember. This was the first day of my longest trip too, which was 2,200 miles in 4 days. We rode to Niagra Falls.

534 miles. I left Jonesboro Arkansas at 7 in the morning. We rode up into Mark Twain National Forrest down into Rogers Arkansas, down into Fayetteville Arkansas. Home of the Razorbacks! Then turned around and came back. Got home at 10:30 that night. My ears were ringing like crazy! I wear earplugs now. I dont give a damn what people think about them. Good ride though.

A total of almost 5000 miles in 10 days. Most roads were backroads and gravel. Most know this trip from my thread. I rode from Alaska to Oklahoma. Longest travel was Dillion, Montana to Moore, Oklahoma.

One of the best things about my sporty is the fact that I get to stop and stretch every 130 miles or so. It really helps the ciatica!

Planning on doing it again this April...... problem free!
If ya do the Dragon in April, give me a heads up, I'm quite likely to be over there most anytime between Feb. and Nov.

410 or so miles in one day, to Sturgis... (we're lucky here) on a solo seat with torsion springs and rigid struts. 100 miles of the interstate kicked my a$$.
