On the LT I've done 5 or 6 1000 + days. More days then I can count were over 700.
For me, and being a newbie to motorcycling, it seems that I would like to stop and enjoy some the scenery and other interesting stops. As a newbie I guess I would'nt get more than 300 miles a day but I'm retired and can take my time.tonygret said:Forgive me if this has been done already but I searched and couldn't find anything.
Yesterday I was reminded why I enjoy riding the LT so much.
I started near LA, went up through Mojave to Mamoth Lakes and over the Tioga pass to Yosemiti and back home again. 732 miles round trip in one day! We ran into 50 MPH cross winds, a dust storm and temps from 57 to 91 degrees. From sea level to 10,000 feet. The only problem I had was with my helmet. I could not imagine doing this on my HD or any other bike.
So guys, let's see your one day riding totals.
732 for me . . .
