RE: How Often Do You Stop?

I stop about every 90 min or so . . about 75-100 miles. Although there are days when I just keep going until I need gas . .

If I'm traveling long distance I stop around 150 miles, if just cruising around, when ever the urge hits me. When the wife used to go, every 15 minutes. That was then.....

I only stop for gas or if we've arrived at the destination.

RE: How Often Do You Stop?

On long rides on my Ironhead, I stop every 90 miles or so. I onlystop then because the 2.2 tank won't go much farther.

Whenever my mom starts pounding on my dads helmet demanding for him to pull over. Thank GOD her bladder is weak... my Sporty isn't as comfy as their Ultra Classic!

Just do a gas and go, and light a cigerette while I'm stopped.

Hey Sporty...don't ever try to save a little time and do both at once![sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=bomb.gif][sm=yikesomg.gif]

RE: How Often Do You Stop?

When I am riding with my dad we only stop for gas. He is the type that has to see his bike at all times so no food no fun. [:'(]
When I am out with out him I stop when I need gas and a stretch or a snack.

RE: How Often Do You Stop?

I can do a full tank on my 1200C. But, I have a Sundowner seat, which I find very comfortable. Sometimes, though, a stop after an hour or so is also a good break, just to stretch out the shoulders. I guess it really just depends on how I am feeling on a particular day.
