What is the farthest distance you have ridden in one day?

[Redneck]

1300 in 21 hours Blairsville Ga to Odessa Tx.

The last leg of my trip to Sturgis 2008 was when I did the Ironbutt Saddle Sore 1000 ride from Amarillo, Texas to Atlanta, 23 1/2 hours. I could have done it quicker if I didn't stop for three nap breaks and it hadn't rained on me for the last 300 miles.

I don't remember the exact from and to places but the longest for me solo was about 1020 miles in about 17 hours from I think somewhere in Tennessee to somewhere in PA. The longest two up was coming home from Alberta, Canada a few years ago with Eileen. We did just over 700 miles one day. Don't remember how long that one was but probably about 12 hours or so. Both of these were on the '99 RSV.

 

 

Thats better than the Iron Butt . The average ride for 1000 miles is 18 hours

Before moving to Charlotte, NC area, I lived in Wilmington, NC and would ride to Dallas, TX on my Ultra Classic to see my mother at a nursing home. According to Mapquest it is 1200 miles +/-. I would leave Wilmington on Thursday evening and ride straight thru stopping only for gas. I would arrive on friday evening but I never kept time. After moving to the Charlotte area I have made the ride six or seven more times, again I did not keep time, but it is around 1000 miles. Mother has passed now and I won't be making these trips anymore, since I am retired and take my time now.

We rode from Western Australia, across the Nullabor, to get to Melbourne to catch the ferry to Tasmania. We left late because Quickstep arrived home late from his trip in the truck - and we rode for days to make it!! 1563.5 miles was the longest stretch in that time

 

NEVER want to do that again:crying:

[Yama Mama]

I guess I should also ask how was your butt after you arrived?

Last year we went to the Smokies and we actually stayed a little longer than expects, so we did about 705 I believe. My rear was fine really, but I ride to relax. If your working that hard at it...it aint relaxin'!

[gibvel]

823 (according to Google) from Dallas to Loveland. Could have gone farther but it was getting dark and I was home.

[Midnight V-4]

I don't know the milage but I rode from just outside Baton Rouge, La. to Orlando in January 1987 on a Maxim 650. I had started out from Phoenix the previous Friday hoping to make it to Orlando in three days. Went down to Tucson to catch I-10 and head east. Before I got to Tucson I ran into snow. The snow was melting and I was soaked to the skin through Levi's, two pair of thermals, a leather bomber jacket and a full face helmet.

 

The first motel I found in Tucson was where I spent the night. Next morning I wanted to get an early start to make up for short distance rode the first day. Got on the interstate and just outside of town the Highway Patrol was flagging everyone off the road. It seems I-10 was closed through Texas due to ice on the roadway. I finally got started about noon.

 

That set the tone for the first few days of the trip. About one tank of gas was all I could get before being frozen stiff.

 

I thought I was going to be in Texas forever. When I arrived in Orlando I had to pry my right hand off the throttle. The forks started leaking about halfway through Texas. The right side (facing the son and warming up just slightly) sealed again but the left side continued leaking. I changed the seals after arriving in Orlando.

 

I made a vow that neither nor that bike would leave Florida in the winter time again. That was a long time ago and I am much better off now with the Venture and I now have a set of chaps and hopefully more brains.
