All,
...to Myrtle Beach Bike Week in a few days. About 350 miles from East Tennessee.


No problem for 350 miles.
The key for me is not to worry about time but focus on the next gas stop. You fill up with gas, figure you have 150 or so till the next stop, u look down and you've already covered 15 miles and think, darn, that went fast 10% all ready covered till the next stop.

I think the first 120 miles or so are the toughest. Once you get warmed up the rest are much easier.

I found I can cover more mileage daily on my motorcycle than in a car. Serious, I get bored and sleepy in my car...can't stand it.


I have ridden 12 hours in a day with some food breaks. Can't remember the mileage. I am sure MANY on this forum have done many more than that.
