Heck I'm dreading a planned 8 hour ride in the fall!

After the Rally...Eight hours Aint Shit...And Like ebbs said...after the first stop its pretty much put your mind to it and grind away at the miles...BUT, I also agree...doing things with no time constraints makes the trip easier...I was trying to make a deadline when I rode from the Gap to the Outer Banks...looking back I DEF should have made it a two day trip...and Just cruised along at a slower pace...instead of Blitzing down the highway at 90-100 MPH.

I have a new respect for my Bike now though...It taught me to buy a Sport Touring Bike for 17 hour Jaunts across the east coast

I've done long trips....I think it's just a mental thing for me.

I get too caught up in my own thoughts and don't pay enough attention. When I'm riding for pleasure it's a bit more focused than that. Straight highway riding is NOT for pleasure.

That's why you stay off the slabs. Find an interesting route.

you mean like turning a 6 hour ride into a 12 hour one, who would do such a thing

I would if I weren't on my own.

No idea but I'm sure it was a fucking blast and they're anxious to do it again heading west.
