Don't you get to the point where you're just droning along to make the goal? Do you still get to enjoy the ride, or do you spend your time pissing in a bottle on the road so you don't have to stop?

I enjoy it, I have a blast on the bike no matter what I am doing, but I have a rig that supports all the types of riding I do now. It's amazing how much getting the right type of bike for this type of riding will do for just eating miles.

As for pissing in a bottle? Totally not necessary. LOL. I can/have done 1000 miles in 14 hours. That's easy. Having said that, it *is* mental. My first 1000 mile day took me 22 hours and kicked my ass. Now, 14 hours and I'm ready to go another few hundred miles if necessary. Just have to train yourself for it, much like anything else.

22 hours? You were really lazying your way around weren't you? LOL, we did it in under 19 with 10 bikes.

G-rex,

I thought you got an IBA on the TLR, coming from Florida to OKC??

I did the 1000 mile/24 hour ride on my TLR. Yes, on my Florida trip in 2003.

In 2004, I did the 1500/36 hour ride on the Busa.

Time to break in the BMW methinks.
