RE: Anybody done a real long ride?

So not on this bike, but on my Yamaha RSTD, my wife and I did Savannah, GA to San Franscisco and back in 2011. My number one piece of advice is to allow plenty of time to enjoy the ride. I know Iron Butt guys who found out I was taking 9 days in each direction and they laughed and said that they could do it in a day. WHY????? I have such great memories of visiting local coffee shops and diners and talking to folks along the way. We averaged 375 miles a day and took one day off (Memorial day across Texas and we were afraid a lot of the gas stations in small towns would be closed). I stuck mainly to the U.S. numbered routes but went state highways to join them.
