Well, I'm in for a long weekend which starts tomorrow. I'll have anywhere between 1300 and 1700 more miles on the Tuono by the end of the weekend. Thank God. I'm overdue a nice long getaway on the bike.

I wound up doing the entire drive in those 4 days on my old GS550L (and it just about killed me and my enthusiam for long trips)

I did Stratford Ont to Lexington Ky a couple of times last year. 610 miles each way.
The fall trip was the longest. Rode down on day one, all day bike tour through the kentucky countryside on the second day ( which was awesome !!!), and then rode back home the third day.Some people are a lot like Slinkys.
Not really good for anything, but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

10,000 KM one week from Toronto to Vancouver and back....longest day around 1200KM.....since then I have only done day trips around southern Ontario...maybe 2 or 300 KM. The ironic thing is that I didn't have the corbin or touring windshield on the long trip!

Although I am planning a 300 mile day for next weekend, to the Berkshires (mountains in western Massachusetts)
Be sure to take rte 23 headed towards Otis (west?) from 8 in Westfield by the paper mill. Awesome road!! (although a lot of tar snakes) I love riding out there.
My longest ride was also about 150 then was called short due to rain. We were in NH (franconia notch to Kanc to 16) and the open road ticks miles away like I've never experienced around here.Matt
If you think you don't need a helmet, you probably don't.

Did the Bun Burner Gold 1500 in 22 hours 35 minutes on the Bandit. Actual milage was 1593.
Did a Saddle Sore 1000 on the Katana in under 15 hours. My buddy was on a CBR F4.
Last year..... Numerous, and I mean too many to count, rides from Camp Lejeune, NC (On the coast) to New Orleans and back once a month. Right at 1000 miles each way.
Many, MANY 500 plus mile days just messing around.
300 miles is a short Sunday ride normaly or an average day in the mountains just having fun. Can't wait to get back!Ron

A few years ago while heading to the Blue Ridge Parkway my friend and I did a 500 mile day. That was with my previous Kat which was a 1988 Katana 1100. Funny thing was that at the end of the day I really did'nt feel all that beat. That bike was a real mileage eater, big comfy and stable!
