110 Miles today
Did 110 miles today. Let me tell ya, I need to make some changes! I feel like I was beat with a tire iron for 3 hours! I was riding with a friend who rides a BMW and noticed he would just cruise along one handed while I was getting the **** beat out of me! I did notice him stand up on his pegs every so often to relax his **** so it wasnt a complete bed of roses for him either....
Seriously need to re-do suspension and seat. Have a windsheild on order. Maybe just a whole new bike!

I felt you pain. After putting new shocks, springs, Mustand Wide Vintage seat, glass and a pair of ME880's on my bike, I can comfortably ride 350 miles. There would have been no way without the above parts; of course, I am fifty-seven.

+1 on what bike do you ride?
The first long ride of the season is always the hardest on the body. That said, if you are a new rider, your body will definitely have some adjustments to make. You will eventually get used to using the muscles you don't normally use. 110 miles should be no problem on a sporty of any model!

I have a 2011 1200C with the fatty fron tire. I am just turned 41 last week. This was the longest I have ridden the bike to date and have a total of 500mi on her now. I rode a V65 Magna about 20 somthing years ago once and that was the only bike I have ever ridden, so this is my first bike experience!
As much as I felt beat up I loved it and just got back in the house from another 20 miles around town!
