I almost always ride in a group. On long interstate jaunts everyone likes to stop every 100-130 miles to get off the bike and move around a bit. This is perfect because this is about the time I need to fill up my 3 gallon tank. The size of the fuel tank has never limited my riding.
Most guys are looking for a stop at or around the 100+ mile mark. The 3.3 gallon tank has never limited my riding.

Speaking of recent trips, 500 miles one way, total of 1300 miles for a three day weekend from Lawrenceville, Ga. to Orlando, Fl. by way of some beaches on the Space Coast and the Gulf Coast. Nice ride.
Going to do it again next month on a business trip, but no chance to hit the beaches this time. Got to attend meetings each day, but I do get to ride the scoot though and I get paid for it to boot...

Planning my first long trip of about 1,000 miles round trip.
it's a tribute ride for my Grandmother who passed away two days ago.
I'm not able to attend her funeral, so I will be taking spring break to visit her.
I'm riding out from Central Florida to just outside Covington Georgia, but won't take any Interstates all back roads and will be twittering the ride along the way.
I'm hoping to stop at dealerships along the way to collect small items to place upon her grave so that she could share in the experience.
