I think the longest I did about 1000 miles in 3 days mostly around upsate NY. That was on Katana 600 some years ago. I planned a route through some places I've never been before.
I remember one road that got more and more narrow, and trees got taller and taller, and the forest got darker and darker, and at some point I started to think what if I come across a bear or something, and I figure I will rev the heck out of the engine... Anyway, I came to an opening with a beatiful pond, house on the side, a lonely boat by the house, quiet and nice picture. The road got wider, police car went by, and I was on my way.
Crossing Hudson via a pretty tall bridge. I figured I needed to stop right in the middle of the bridge and take a few shots to capture a beatiful view. As I am almost done, a bridge patrol comes by with unhappy faces. I apologized and they let me off with no issues.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make that it is an amazing feeling of being on a bike for prolonged periods of time. You sort of grow together, and the perception of the world slowly changes to something different.
Otherwise, a rare day trip, in the country.
on my bucket list of things to do.
Hawaii jan. 2011!
