My club has different skill level rides. The beginner rides set a slow pace and everyone rides the same speed as the slowest rider. Then there's intermediate/advanced which are much faster.

*edit* sweet, with his new avatar we can look at that butt every time we log on

Thats really unfair. V is a relatively new rider (<1 yr?) and yes, while his riders can take off to their own ability for a short time, they should be patient and ride to the slower riders ability. Isn't that the unspoken rule of the group ride?

lol

I would love to see the faces of the fellas i ride with, if VX turned up for hoon and did some of that "seat work" he did in the mpg

it makes me smile jus thinking about it

i'd love to go there sometime. i'd trailer my bike though. that's too far to ride on a bike that's not meant for touring.

Hey VX, what's the longest trip you've taken on your bike in one day? I'm thinking of taking one myself, but I don't want to make all the preparations and find out I can only bear 100mi per day.

so far, only probably close to 250 miles in 1 day. not non-stop though.

non-stop, longest i've done is around 100 miles.

im aiming to endure at least 200 miles non-stop in the future.

Deals Gap is roughly 2hrs north of Atlanta.

It's about 1hr from my house

Verm you never cease to amaze me - the points I would elaborate on have already been made by the usual suspects so I will again stress that a basic understanding of the physics of motorcycling would do much to assist you. Of course, be safe - and try not to ride that shiny gixxer off a cliff.

Also - I've seen many a person ride the very same bike as you thousands of miles in a few days - usually 500-600 in a day. I've done it myself on my SVS - triples dropped and all. Just grip the tank with your knees and change your positioning every 5-10min, you'll be fine.

To all considering a AL/GA/TN/NC type ride - I can dig it.
