My ass felt like what those baboons with the red butts look like. My...

1620 km, just to say I did it, on my KLR 650. 1200 km on a Burger 400, but that hardly counts,it's like riding an easy chair.

1900KM on a street bike in one go on highways & interstates Vancouver BC to California. 900km on a DRZ in one go on dirt & logging roads 3900km dead heading in a bus on highways & interstates from Elkhart Indiana to Vancouver BC

New Riding buddy went home in his bimmer...

Halifax to Minden, just about 1800km. 9am to 2am with the worst hangover. Had to be back. Good ride....

Hmmmn... Been lotsa long ones over the years. Not trying, just had to be home and I was out of money and time. Flagstaff Arizona to Mississauga Ontario, 2400miles/3840kms in 48 hours on a '78 R100S BMW. But that was easy, I was young and the bike was smooth as glass. Fredrickton NB to Hamilton ON, 1500kms in 12hrs stopping for breakfast, lunch and dinner enroute on an '83 R100RS BMW. Doesn't Quebec have any police? 800km days on...

I've ridden home non stop from Laguna Seca in Salinas to Langley BC many times. My longest non-stop was an Iron Butt challenge, did 1695km's in 18 hrs, and 3100kms in 30.5 hrs. Never do it again, a waste of tires, gas, and dodging deer/bear. Steve

I'm fairly new to the world of adventure riding / touring on a motorcycle having picked up a Dl1000 only last spring. I'd made short trips on my other bikes but never ventured farther than a few hundred kilometers in a trip. Recently I ventured from my home up to see my buddy in Thunder Bay. A trip that, by my planned route, would run 1700+km each way and I planned on dividing it equally with a stay at the midway point at a friends...

Granby QC to Moncton NB via secondary roads. Just over 1000 kms and 14 hours if I remember right. I stopped as the moose were starting to show up. I too stood up for about 1/4 of it on my 640a.
