No doubt... but honestly... prior to my Indy trip last year... I hadn't spent more than 2hrs on the bike in one sitting. and never ridden over 4 in a day.
that trip I didn't have a day of riding under 6hrs... and only two under 12.
never had an issue... did one day of 904 miles in 16 hrs.
Like ya said G... after the first fill up... the rest of the day feels the same... 2-4-6-12 hrs riding all feels the same... at least until you stop for a couple hours and it hits ya 
no shit? that's damn cool of ya... Yeah I'll be opening my place up to travelers too if need be... but not many people wanna stop in southern Mississippi |
I start mine in 2023, thats when my son turns 18 and graduates high school. I'll retire with 25 years. The general plan is to leave home, then head to alaska for the summer solstice, then down to Ushauanda (southern most city in the Americas) for the winter solstice, explore south America a little more, then ship the bike to Europe, and take a month off of riding and go stay with relatives. Meet up with the bike in Europe and explore that continent, then down through the western countries in Africa, then back up the eastern coast. Head north through southwest Asia avoiding all the nasty countries on my way to India, stay there for a while, then into Southeast Asia. After that, ship the bike down to Australia then New Zealand. And finally finish up the journey with a swing through all 48 lower states.
A great book to buy and read is called Lonely Planet, details alot of places to visit, stay, and routes to avoid, visas, stuff like that.
