I rode to sturgis this year the first day I logged 875 miles (14hrs) second day about 450 miles took my sweet time and did some site seeing. Toured around south Dakota for about a week logged about 800 mile there. Made the return trip 750 miles first day and 575 miles the second day. total trip was 9 days 3450 miles ..... thank god for my air hawk it was a life saver....
longest single day 15 hrs = 851 miles/1370 km
most miles for me in a season (9 months last year due to ohio weather) = 21,450 mi/34,520 km.
Thats 14,000+ on the R3 and 7,000+ on the other bikes combined. ****!!!! probs another 6 weeks or so until the weather breaks and the riding season will begin in earnest.
If you get an airhawk do not be cheap .... purchase the Airhawk R there is a reason it cost more .... the r is specifically designed for a male rider (Has special cutouts for the man parts makes all the difference in the world) ......
Quick pointer on using the airhawk do not over inflate ....If it is not working for you more than likely you have two much air in it..... they also have a money back guaranteed
Hey sounds great....what were you sitting on...(and don't say your arse) ? I did a lap of tassie over 3 days total about 1500k. such a nice ride....thank good I wasn't on the triumph gel seat....my 700 k day was on it and talk about numb, burn, pain....
don't know how our yankee brothers do the 1400+....iron butt bastards.
the most ks ive done on the rocket in one sitting was from towoomba qld to port maqaury nsw 690ks have done the trip twice stopping only for fuel a piss and a feed.
I still have the stock seat on the '05 standard. I guess maybe I should check out some alternatives but for me it seems that leg position changes via highway pegs and floorboards is quite satisfactory. I would surmise a bit more age and thus decreased circulation will increase the discomfort of the stockie.
