How many miles can you ride COMFORTABLY before you need to pull over?

And, if I get through a whole tank of gas, at about 170 -180 miles I need a crane to pick me up and stretch me out. And nothing hurts more than getting back on the seat.

Twisties? I can ride them all day, a few hundred miles and not get uncomfortable. Tired, but not uncomfortable.

I feel pretty much the same way. Up in the mountains the only thing I pull over for is to piss or fill up (or stop at a scenic spot if with other people). On a road less interesting, I get tired/sore quicker. I usually pop some Tylenol before a long ride if I know it will have quite a bit of straight roads, just to prevent the sore ass and wrists.
