He does Europe regularly and clocks the odd 5k up at a time!!
Last year I believe he did Magny Cours WSB after a jaunt around Germany, Italy, France etc.
Amazing

Ha! was going to ask if I could claim the highest 4V mileage around here, but was going to wait until I'd clocked 50,000m (just under 40,000 now, and will be doing a longer commute starting Monday: bike bought new Jan 2002).

Furthest I've done in a day was 620 to Highlands this summer. Can't honestly say I find the 748 uncomfortable, provided you're not crawling along in traffic. On the open road, or even motorway, I find it fine.

And I'm an old git, too!
