Longest Multi-day Trip

VFR Rider · 11-13-2008, 11:22 PM

What is the longest multi-day trip that you have done (days/mileage)? We did 2,900, 13 states, in 8 days.

Longest I've done so far was Biloxi to Atlanta the first day, then Atlanta to Ashland, KY the second day. Took a day's break then rode back in two days. The worst part was that I rode north through Tropical Storm Fay. Ended up being around 2600 miles total.

NJ to key west 2 days, then up to daytona for 5, then back up to NJ 2 more days. 9 days total, 3200 miles

17 days, 4500 miles, 17 states, 15 "old" new friends,80 miles short of an Iron butt, 1 hurricaine, 1 collapsed tent, 1 indy MotoGP Race, a broken engine cover, 3 quarts of oil left in an intersection in Indiana, 1 Uhaul truck rental, a totaled bike, and the best vacation of my life.

Longest trip to day for me so far would be 8800 miles in 9 days, in 2006. Road out to California for work, after work was over I met up with a friend down in San Diego ... then we proceeded to ride from San Diego out to Jacksonville and back in 4 days, completed a loop around SoCal to wrap up 5K in 5 days, saw him off on a border-to-border insanity (I was his Mexico witness), and I road back to Texas.

Longest single day has been 1,515 miles in 23.5 hours, although last weekend I came close to beating that with 1458 miles in 22 hours.

Next year, motorcycle gremlins willing, I'll likely reset both my single day high mileage and longest trip mileage. I have an addiction that only Michelin can slow down.

Aloha Charlie. Was wondering when you'd meander over here.

I was left off the kool kids invite list, so had to find my way over here on my own.
