[QUOTE="superfuzz, post: 1021507, member: 20854"] I always hated riding anything over 300 miles on my Superhawk, 400 miles on my VFR, but the FJR seems to have the perfect fit for me to be able to cover some pretty serious (for me) mileage in comfort. I thought it was going to be a fairly grueling 1000 miles but really it turned out to be a piece of cake. I even lost 1.5 hours on my first gas stop when I picked up a nail leaving the truck stop in Ellensburg and had to arrange an emergency tire purchase/swap. The worst part was that the tire delay put us riding into Missoula in much colder temps than expected and cost us an hour and a half of sleep. I think next up will be a Border to Border ride from Blaine, Wa to the Mexican Border near San Ysidro. It's only 400 miles farther and twelve more hours to do it. I think we'll do the 36 hour blast down and then spend 4 or 5 days working our way back on scenic/entertaining roads. [/QUOTE]
