My longest weekend was from the Seatle area to Phoenix. Down the coast to L.A., then east.
I left on Sat. afternoon and arrived in Phx late Sunday night. 1,500 miles. The vibration from my 750 twin made my wrist go completely numb for the last 100 miles. That was one ride I'm not eager to repeat anytime soon.

Riding on the street is nothing compared to riding the track when it comes to exausting energy. Try full 2-3 days of track time then come talk to me about alot of riding and being totally exausted.

Haven't figured out the distance, but we (my son & I) rode from Toronto, Ontario (departed about 3PM day 1), up the Michigan peninsula, across to Winnipeg, then West to Calgary ( arrived 3PM day 2). I rode '94 HD FXSoftail Custom, he rode '01 Honda 750 Shadow.
I also left Vancouver Island 10 AM day 1, stayed in Glacier National Park o/night (just South of US/Can border), rode through Banff & Jasper, went West to Mezziadin, BC on day 2, left 7AM and arrived at Haines Junction, Yukon 1AM next morning in -10C temp.
Also have done number of trips to Anchorage, Alaska (2000miles round-trip) in 24 hours riding.
So, ya. I've done some long rides, in rain, snow, blazing sun, you name it.
