Cruzr Joe?
He's been missing for about a week...

[ARtraveler]

I was thinking the same thing. Last I saw posted was a mention that they went from home to Deadwood in one day (900 miles or so).

Maybe he just doesn't have anything to say . . . .

silly me, . . . we may need to send out a search and rescue party. . . .

or just have a party . . . .

The happy news is that Joe just messaged me on FaceBook to say that he's been taking it real easy after his 900 mile
trip back home. Must his age...poor ol' boy!! LOL

Now if Bob stopped posting we might have to do the above.

Send out a search and rescue party, just have a party, or both?

Now I'm very new here but. 900 miles in a day. So 24 hrs, allow 4 of them for comfort and food stops, the average is 45mph. Amazing. How's he managed that!!!

[Bob Denman]

We have lots of folks who have done over 1000 miles in 24 hours.
But it does take a bit of planning.
But 900 miles is still a pretty good "stretch of the legs"!

When moving early this year I did over 1000 in a day, started at 4am was on the hwy by 4:15 and when i stopped i was at the new home 11:30 that evening.
I made plenty of stops, was parked in traffic for 1/2 and hour due to construction and an accident, was almost out of gas during that, avg spped was 54 miph all most all the roads i was os were 70-75 speed limit. Missed my 1000 in 24 iron butt by a signature when i left the gas station in the am.

sorry to side track the thread

[Bob Denman]

on the "Iron Butt"!

[RTman10]

I am suitable humbled,

[Bob Denman]

Don't be humbled: be motivated!
I guess that with all of our Interstate Highways: we have greater opportunities to pile on some serious mileage in a day.

Your not wrong there. A few years ago we rode from Hamlin (Pied Piper and all that) in Germany to Nottingham in 12 hours . The mileage was 720 on a BMW RT with a good lot of German autobahns thrown in. Average was 60 mph but most of Germany was covered at just under 100 mph.

[Bob Denman]

THAT'S how to pile up the distances!

My personal best for a day's riding is only 640 miles.
But it was in a downpour, and we had over 20 Spyders in our group.
(Riding to SpyderFest 2013... Columbus, OH, to Springfield, MO)
We left at 7:05am, and arrived at 9:20pm.

And what a ride!!

I used to drive 600 miles from Ft. Wayne IN to Duluth, MN and back on a regular basis. It took 12 hours, with two out for R & R. Ten hours driving time. I would leave at 3:00 AM from FT. Wayne so I could avoid the Chicago rush hour traffic. Also about 650 miles from Duluth, to Murdo, SD for vacation stuff.
