Longest ride?

05svr650 · 03-03-2008, 07:08 AM

I rode my SV to San Antonio (1400 mi???) from Knoxville, 19 hrs, only stopping for gas, a drink, and a snack.

Left at midnight and arrived at 9 pm

A friend of ours from NC, Yellow Wolf, got his iron butt on his goldwing at Deals Gap.

Think I did a little more than 750 miles in a day. That was just riding all around Vegas though. Just to ride. Not to go anywhere.

A friend-of-a-friend's uncle (it's true, I swear!) has a VStrom that he rode from Sioux City, IA to Alaska and back. He put 85,000 miles on that VStrom before he replaced it with a new one.

The best I've done was about 300 miles in one day. That was on my SV650.

I wonder how long the guy with the 04 F4i that put 100K on last year's longest ride is.

Somebody want to PM him BTW, I would, but can't.

My uncle rode From Michigan to Florida on his old Nighthawk when he was younger said it is a trip he will NEVER do again lol.

I'll be riding to NC at some point this spring/ early summer. Try to go while it's still somewhat cool and hit up my brother for an airsoft game. That should be a good way to finish off the stock tires. ~500 miles each way- down on friday back on sunday
