I did that yesterday with my 10 year old daughter, who loves to ride. We rode a little over a 100 miles, stopped at the shore, had lunch, picked up "treasures" on the shore. A great day for both of us!!!!

I did the same thing, only in the Adirondacks. You are right, it can't get any better.

I have only once managed to clock up better than 300 miles in a day, and it was not a good think, I ached from head to toe, now the most I attempt to ride is about 220 miles, that round trip to my dealer.

Put it in the shed and changed the oil, the topping to a perfect day.
