My thoughts exactly. Who in there right mind believes you can do a
coast to coast 50 and not exceed the speed limit by a large amount. Who
in their right mind believes it is safe to ride 20 hours a day.
The list goes on but I am sure we all get the idea. I occasionally do
500 miles in about 7 hours from Mid-Ohio to Winston-Salem,NC and that is
my limit of safe long distance non-stop, well 1 quick stop travel. I
really enjoyed the article in Motorcyclist. I could almost feel his
pain. I once rode my VFR from Dearborn,MI to Winston-Salem in about 24
hours. My butt hurt for days. I soon ordered a Corbin as a result.
