Did an soft butt ride on my Softail to my local Starbucks and back. The cute barista signed my paper coffee cozy to document the ride.

How did those apes feel? I've been tossing around the idea of installing some, but afraid to pay the cost to test them out....
The only time we were off the bikes was when we were fueling them up. The apes were never a problem for me. My lower back and legs hurt.

On my way to Sturgis in 2012, 784 miles, 2004 FXDI with a clip on windshield, novelty helmet. I hit the mental wall at about 550.

Did 1100 miles in 23 hours (iron but ride) on a 1200 sportster when I had it. Windshield, highway pegs, and a decent seat are a must for me on long trips.

I can tell my new FXDB will be even better for long distances. Definitely don't need a bagger to be comfortable on the long hauls. Just have to set your dyna up right!

Wouldn't many many fast miles be a "farthest ride in a day"? Longest ride to me is how many hours in the saddle...
I've done my 1000 mile day years ago; have a friend that does it on his BMW still at 60, but he's in very good shape, too.
I'll spend 10+ hours on the road in a day now; that's long for me...
A few years ago did 400+ miles of fairly curvey 2 lane in under 8 hours on a 2001 Sporty...no windshield and a half helmet. Ears were ringing and face burning thru the night after that ride

799 on a Low Rider, to close to home to stop. Many other days in the 550 to 650 mi range. All with a windshield.

That's a good point. Long hours add up quicker than long miles.
