Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 20071400 miles in one week!
Most i have ever done on a bike & the zed has been stunning, utterly stunning. Cant wait for the bar risers though, can just be a bit low on the hands. The full set of Givi luggage is brilliant to use too. It really is f.cking funny to see the sports bike riders as you f.cking fly by, i don't care what anyone says, there aint much faster in a straight line, even today. It doesn't do too bad at corners if you have the balls. In fact it is more capable at corners than i thought. Might have to think about a new rear damper with the luggage on & what have you though. Well happy after a week on it, normally it's car 75% & bike 25%, this week was 99% bike. It is really f.cking heavy with the wingrack2 & full loaded set of Givi, really f.cking heavy. I realise most of you will have done more touring in one week, but to use it for work, it's been a f.cking pleasure. The most priceless moment was following a Ducati of 04 model year, the rider clocked me & tried to outrun me, now i'm no racer on the public highway, but they gave me the thumbs up at the next junction as they had no chance of shaking me! The BEST thing was the noise once they opened the Ducati up, it had fancy cans on & sounded like f.cking heaven!

Bah, less than a mere weekend's riding. My record is 2300 miles in a 4 day ride from Bedford to St Tropez and back to Bedford...2-up with camping kit on a VF400F. -- Lozzo >> Most i have ever done on a bike & the zed has been stunning, utterly >> stunning.

Well if we get down to Cornwall next year we'll have cut the John o' Groats to Land's End time to under 8 years.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > <fx: Looks for Platty> > http://www.sweller.co.uk/sob/frunners.html My biggest daily mileage was under 500, though. Home - Calais: 260 Calais - Frankfurt: 443 (703) Frankfurt - Luxembourg: 191 (894) Luxembourg - Home: 477 (1361) I rode the Z200 in to work the next day, which was about 52 miles return. So, comfortably over 1400, then, in 5 days.

He should try a 1000 miles in a day. I vote 1500 in a day (which I know we've moth managed) as that way it keeps the riff-raff out. > > Quite.

To be honest, the journey does start to suck after 800 miles, and it's just a case of trying to stay focussed, when you get the the final destination it's wonderful though, everything just seems to be at peace, perhaps 'cause the only things left in the bloodsteam at that point are endorphins. It's probably a bit like a runners high. > To be honest, the journey does start to suck after 800 miles, and it's > just a case of trying to stay focussed, when you get the the final [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > It's probably a bit like a runners high. We had a similar experience riding back from Andorra to Barcelona at night in October (not the mileage you are quoting, I admit). The weather was bad so we couldn't exactly race back, and the mountain roads were twisty and it was bloody cold. The local van drivers were easily outdoing us, so we settled into a rythym and it still took over 4 hours, with both of us feeling quite dreamy when we got back (probably frostbite :) ) SignatureRegards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) (apparently bad grammar but I like it that way...) > I vote 1500 in a day (which I know we've moth managed) I bet you just flew!

It's the butterfly effect innit. SignatureDnc >>> I vote 1500 in a day (which I know we've moth managed) >> >> I bet you just flew! >It's the butterfly effect innit. It's very easy to pick holes in though - a little work and it would all just fall apart. SignaturePip: B12 |
