Man, that's one long ride. The longest ride i took with the 636 was when i picked it up from Oceanside, CA and rode it back to Lancaster, CA. First time on the freeway too. It took me about 4 hours.

The longest last year was the Anacortes run just out of Seattle. 12 hr straight thru run. Rode 2500 miles that weekend. The next was the Vegas run about a month after the Anacortes run. 7 hrs straight through. Put 5300 miles on the 10r last year.

I went from Southern Cali to Northern Maine...about 3400 miles in 3 days and then I rode back. I made thattrip about 4 times.That was my longest. I've made several 14+ hour trips but I don't know how many miles it was.

WOW, thats come crazy stuff.....

One day i left my house on my bike, take into condiseration that i have a dirt bike, and the seat is not comfortable at all. I left at 12:30 pm rode over to ohio and met a guy from thumpertalk.com, then road to a hare scrambe course. We rode the hare scramble course all afternoon about 20 miles in woods, hard single track up and downs, through streams and such. Then rode home, got home around 7:30 at nite. I think that was the longest i was on the bike at one time. Dont forget i beat myself up in the woods all afternoon too... Riding on the road is easy.... That was a long ride home....

I raced a 92 mile enduro on a dirtbike. Finshed in 4 hours. That felt like the longest ride I have ever done! Freezing cold through tight nasty woods. Man just remembering that race hurts! LOL
