x2 on that, better to be safe at home than miserable some where you don't know who your doctor could/may be.

Buy a tins unit ( spelling ?) from a chiropractor. They work wonders on loosening the muscles. And can be used while riding when needed. Plus they are not that expensive and you control the amount of shock and intervals based on your needs

i did around 2400mi over 4 days last june to see my niece graduate. left out of orlando, fl and went to atmore, al the first night then on to huntsville, tx. the return trip was straight through from huntsville to orlando at about 1050mi and just under 21 hours. it sucked. bad idea, i know that now. that being said, i laid the apes back on the way out of huntsville and it was like riding on a couch even with a dyna and 412's. when i got back i went to the chiropractor the next day and got the adjustment and shock treatment. id recommend those rechargeable back things from icy hot and sleeping in a real bed whenever possible.

Many do that distance and much farther.
It might be your back or it might be your bike's set-up.

Yep, pretty pertinent omission.
You made it sound like the mileage was the issue, not your back.
That is why I pointed out it would be your back or bike set-up...
I must be psychic, or psycho, or something...
