I'm game for this.

I'm 53, 6'0", and 280lb. I have a 2012 RGU with the stock seat. I have highway pegs mounted to the crash bars.

I have no problem riding until I need to fill up the tank again. (200 or so miles) then taking enough time to stretch and move before getting back on the bike to do it all over again. That's usually about 5 minutes, 10 minutes at the maximum.

I routinely make the trip from Sacramento, CA to Emmitt, ID. That's about 575 miles each way. It's a solo run and done in one leg each way. I only stop for food and fuel.

Highway pegs - the ability to move your legs around is key to allowing the blood to flow in areas that might not be getting it enough. There are highway pegs on my bike (were there when I bought) but they are too far away. I'm going to need to buy some extensions. The only problem I have with highway pegs is that I've had them before and I typically almost never use them because I don't generally ride long enough to need to use them.

I don't normally use my pegs around town either. City Streets or rush hour traffic, major danger zone. Safer to have your feet right next to the controls. Not to mention that you have better control of the bike with your feet on the floorboards.

As soon as I hit the open highway, I kick the pegs down to the horizontal position and away I go. It gives me a wider variety of positions for my feet, and as its been mentioned before, movement is important on long rides.

Just did 460 miles on Saturday. no problems. I've posted my additions to my RGU on this thread before. I just love to ride.
