How much longer do you want to go that we can't on our bikes? In my opion, we could ride our bikes just as long or longer.



Soren,
The longest day ride I've made on my TBA is 700 miles. I was a bit tired. I still plan on a 1000 mile ride for my IBA certificate, but would much rather do it on a bike designed for the task. The forward controls alone are enough to beat you up on a long ride. I have ridden over 1100 miles in a day on my old GoldWing and felt great at the hotel that night (before the Iron Butt Association).
I think I can ride from Alabama to your place in 2 days, but I'll be wore slap out when I get there. Touring bikes are made for touring, and our "boulevard cruisers" ain't a touring bike. But I'll never sell this gorgeous ride.


Ride Safe, Dennis Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.
