'Nuff respect BDG for having done it 3 times
it's great to hear that some people are doing big miles on Dukes. My local dealer has three two year old bikes for sale all with less than 500 miles on the clock
makes you sick.
I think it best if we avoid any type of willy waving competition on this subject as big miles are a serious subject
and we don't really want people falling asleep on their bikes
Having said that I always find it easier to do the big miles on the way home. Something about getting to sleep in my own bed at the end of it makes it seem worth while
One thing phillc may have to think about is what state he will be in the next day
If this is the outward leg of a touring holiday it might be a better bet to take it easy
I know I didn't want to see my bike for a couple of days after I got beck from Italy
