How far have you gone?
We've all done it. The morning was sunny and crisp. We head out, by ourselves, with the wives blessing (she was going out shopping with the girls). We catch a long, 2 lane road heading out of town with nobody in sight. Just my ride and me for as long as we want to go.....
Youcheck the gas gauge, the odometer and settle in to the groove of doing whatyou dobest - ride. And then you look again at the mileage and, lo and behold, you are astounded you have just covered _____ miles!
Just curious as to how far you might have gone in a trance...
Respect to all....

RE: How far have you gone?
I would say I did 430 miles. When I filled up for the second time I thought there was something wrong with the bike. It was using to much gas. When I got home I noticed the odometer and was shocked. I couldn't believe I rode that far and again, I thought something was wrong with the bike and I was going to take to the doctor in the morning.
I sat down that evening with the computer and mapped out my route the best I could remember using Streets and Trips and it came up to 430 miles. So there wasn't anything wrong with the bike. Sure didn't seem like I rode that much. Of course it wasn't 430 miles all in one shot. I made various stops and did some sight seeing along the way.
