When I have a say, I ride tank to tank; roughly 220-240 miles between stops,; depending on station availability, of course. Unless there's a compelling reason to stick around, I'm back on the road in about 10-15 minutes. I'm not in a hurry; I just enjoy this type of riding. This is one reason few people like to ride with me. If you start your day with a full tank and refill three times, you can pretty much do a 1,000 mile day.
I have been in better shape than I am now, but I can still do a 1,000 mile day; just need a reason. Fitness really comes in handy when things go wrong and you need as much muscle as finesse to correct the situation.
My comfort mods include:
MadStad windscreen
Ultra seat modified by Astech Seats.
Ohlins Shocks
Wild-1 508 bars
Crash bar mounted highway pegs
1" floorboard extenders
Reda 1 Gal gas can
Driver backrest (I gave in at SWII)
