847.3 miles Houston to Ruidoso NM in 14.5 hours. Stopped only for gas and rarely got off the bike. Like some others this was not planned but just happened. Got to love the 80 mph speed limit on I-10.
2002, 1850 Miles. Sturgis to Beaufort SC. One of the dumbest things I have done. Damn near killed myself a couple times. I went numb, could not react to conditions immediately. My brain fell asleep but I could see danger coming, could'nt react until the last second. Arrived safe but not sound. Messed up my sleep pattern for days.
My longest was 4 weeks from Chicago to New Orleans thru El Paso to San Francisco up to Seattle then back to Chicago the total was just over 8000 miles, most of our trips are 2 weeks in June and 2 weeks in Sept at 4000 - 5000 miles each

Syracuse, NY to Estes Park, CO. 1687 miles in a little over 27 hours. Done in 1987, when the 42 year old body could do those things. Brain damaged on arrival; between tired and altitude, lost a day or two of riding while there. Still, it was fun at the time.
