I have ridden around 400 miles on my '08 lowered and stretched 9". Routinely do about 170 in a day round trip even with the catalyst race seat on it.

last year to Italy +/- 700 miles in one day on the 14 I used to do this on my old 12 er and last years' ride was more pleasant than on the 12. On the 12 though I once did +/- 1050 miles in one session from central spain to Belgium, nine years ago, a feat that I don't like to repeat ever again.

My longest trip was about 160 down to Ocean City MD for bike week. It was solo in the middle of the night and it was cold. I decided that I wasn't going to pull over until I had a second reason other than being cold to stop so 150 miles later I stopped for gas and put on my sweatshirt under my jacket.

However I have done a ton of 100 mile plus hell burns with friends without really going anywhere just crisscrossing the county. This summer I intend to do some "real" rides 400-500 a day kinda stuff. 400-500 is probably laughable to some of you guys.

Ok if other stuff besides Wings are allowed..

On my BMW R1100RS (not a touring bike, more like a sport tourer) my longest, mileage wise was 1286 miles in 18 hours from Webster TX to Phoenix in the rain on interstate. The rain was why I stayed on the slab.

My longest day overall was 1190 miles from Topeka KS to Holbrook AZ with NO interstate. I grabbed a room in Holbrook as it was getting cold as the dickens and I was climbing towards Flagstaff. I woke up in the morning laying back on the bed, fully dressed with my feet still on the floor. The door to my hotel room was wide open and the key was still in the door, saddle bags open, key in the bike. I guess I was a bit too tired to be riding...

Longest trip was Phoenix to Nova Scotia, 10,200 miles with lots of side trips. Eastern most point.

Phoenix to Prudhoe Bay and Homer Alaska. Northern and Western most points.

Key West was the southern most point.

152,000 miles, 49 states, 8 Canadian provinces and still counting. The BMW's been a good bike.

My 14 has helped me cross off the other things on my bucket list such as getting the 200mph shirt.

I'm happiest whenever I'm sitting on a moving motorcycle I guess.
