XV1100SE Posted September 2, 2012 #1 Posted September 2, 2012 I'm sure others can easily top this.... but.. how far out of your way have you gone to get somewhere? For example.... - went to a Tim Horton's 22km away but put 145km on the odometer
FreezyRider Posted September 2, 2012 #2 Posted September 2, 2012 I live 7 miles from where I work. One day it took me 110 miles to get home!

Motorcycle Mike Posted September 2, 2012 #7 Posted September 2, 2012 We left Lawrenceville Ga. headed to Fredricksburg Va. Thats roughly 400 miles. We had a little over 2000 on the clock when we got there. No plans, route or schedual. It was a great trip.
Sylvester Posted September 2, 2012 #8 Posted September 2, 2012 Left my home in North Carolina for a nice ride and wound up in Omaha and Dallas before getting back. Was I ever in deep dodo?
BradT Posted September 3, 2012 #9 Posted September 3, 2012 Had to go to the bank this morning. Just got back 895 km later and I forgot to go to the bank. Brad
Guest Swifty Posted September 3, 2012 #10 Posted September 3, 2012 Had to go to the bank this morning. Just got back 895 km later and I forgot to go to the bank. Brad Maybe that is because you had too much money to start with! Those of us facing wage freezes don't know what that is like.
BradT Posted September 3, 2012 #11 Posted September 3, 2012 Those of us facing wage freezes don't know what that is like. Arn't you suppose to be off somewhere re-charging for the up coming School year. You know the students all ready to sit back and listen to the swiftadventurers. Brad
Rocket Posted September 3, 2012 #12 Posted September 3, 2012 I'm sure others can easily top this.... but.. how far out of your way have you gone to get somewhere? For example.... - went to a Tim Horton's 22km away but put 145km on the odometer Did about an extra 8,500 miles, to get to last years Cody International rally, from Vancouver Island, Via Pakidaho, Grandpagak,Youper, Big Tom, Yammerdan, Minimuffin, Eck & the Sleeperhawks, Randya & SGN, Wrongway.
