Chrisoh Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Poor guy.I know my trip from Cincy to louisville, then down to South of Macon GA was a long ass trip on a GSXR 1000. I wish I had my 2001 Gix 1k though.I kind of wish I had got the busa for a street bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Nah.. not on a sport bike.. I was supposed to help fly an open cockpit bi-plane cross country last year for a buyer on the west coast but it fell through. The flight would have been a blast and would have taken at least a week due to weather and the fact that it was an antique with no instruments. (no radios, lights, etc. No electrical system at all).The other pilot and I would have been flying through mountain passes and all sorts of crazy stuff and just sleeping under the wings of the plane at whatever little grass airstrip we landed at for the night. Unfortunately they ended up pulling the wings off and transporting it via flatbed semi. Im still heartbroken about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Anybody else want to do something like this?http://www.twowheelforum.com/showthread.php?t=21362That'd be a good time..long trip on sport bike.I'm planning on doing something similar...Michigan Cross Country Cycle Trail. It's mostly single track woods riding with some roads thrown in the mix too and it's about an 800 mile (5-6 day) trip. Need to get another bike for the dirt first though. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138402 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagosfinest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 This summer, me and a friend or two are planning to do Columbus to Orlando. On sportbikes, Probably 7-10 days. I think that's about as much as I can tolerate without bitching about cramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagosfinest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well, we'll see. Now that I got a daily rider down here, I'm sure that it won't be soo bad come summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 it would def be nice to just drop everything and do whatever you want for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siege77 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Def up for a crazy distance ride anytime this riding season. I got a 4 man tent and need a good excuse to get a set of saddle bags for my Z1K (yea they are out there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm definitely in. I've been wanting to do something like this for years. The smoky mountains are close..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'd def be up for something like that, I'm betting that the new 1k will be more comfortable than my 750, I was good for about a 3 day weekend, or 1000 miles before it got unbearable. The only thing I couldn't stand was the leg position, and the new gixxers have moveable rearsets so hopefully that'll take care of that.

I don't think they have a lower then stock setting.I wish Lockhart still had their 360 degree foot pegs. Thos were the Shizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I don't understand why everyone wants to get a different bike for this kind of a thing, i rode my bike down to virginia 2 years ago and had no problem with it. it was about 8-9 hours there and back. it was comfy and fun.

Casper Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'll be riding my 10, that's for sure. So where would you guys/gals like to go? Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN? Maybe hit up Black Water Falls and Spruce Knob in WV? Blueridge Parkway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
