Averaged around 450m/day for about 2 months travelling around the south-west, south and west coast states during 2005. Every day included time being touristy so the miles were usually done in less than half a day.

Oh yeah, and I was on a 500 with stock seat..:eek:

Hey bevo, any way you can have the poll list the Iron Butt pple so we can laud them appropriately?

540 miles from Cleveland to Burlington NC. I will be making the return trip tomorrow or Tuesday.

Bummer.... it also seems that you can't update to a new higher distance if anyone happens to set a new PB. :(

423.2 miles from santa cruz ca to moreno valley, on my vespa P200E scooter with a stock seat, i took hwy 1 all the way down in the rain the week before the big earthquake that toppled the 880 fwy in 1989

its the same scooter in my profile , me and her have been through alot together, i bought and sold alot of bikes through the years but its hard to let go of your first love.

Resurrecting an old thread.. It was 1986, I was riding a Kawi GPZ1100. I left Poughkeepsie, NY for Cincinnati, OH to surprise visit a friend. 691 miles according to Google Maps. When I got there, he was away on vacation.

Six months later, surgery to repair a ruptured disk, L5,S1. Fortunately, no problems with the back since.

When I took this poll I had a personal best of approximately 110. I am extremely proud to report that I crushed that personal best today with a total mileage of 431. I had a great ride on the beautiful California coast with a group of great people today. I can't wait for the next adventure, but I do hope it's a shorter one, my back is killing me haha

My Butt Hurts

400+ on a 2007 Kawasaki ZZR600 made me come over to the cruiser side. I'm definitely looking forward to an iron butt/butt burner/saddle sore ride in the future.

I used to compete in a thing called the ACU (Autocycle Union) National Rally which was a 24 hour road navigation rally. I rode 750+ miles one year on a CZ enduro bike! I had numb fingers for two days after that one.

I still go from my home to the North West of Scotland regularly which is a 500 mile day and my Midnight Star is the most comfortable bike I've done it on.

I find the key for me is to take regular short breaks and keep up with fluids and energy snacks.

For me it was probably the days of going up to the tail of the dragon. close to 400 miles in that day, once with a passenger...maybe a little less I logged on a GSXR 750. Talk about wrist pain, I don't miss that. On the Raider I logged in over 400 miles on a trip to Maggie Valley NC and then through Asheville SC and back to GA. That was a "I'm gonna break away give me directions back from Maggie Valley " trip that went way off course :) Asheville sure is a beautiful area, deep mountains. I won't lie, on the Raider there was some back pain...
