I rode 375 miles (back roads about 8hrs of driving) and my rear end was begging for mercy.
Time for you to get one of the seat upgrades.

200 miles with the stock seat is 180 too many! :gaah:
For sporty looking seats, I'd go with the BRP comfort seat, the Corbin or find someone who can tweak your stock seat with the addition of better foam and reshaping the seat. If I was a billionaire Spyder philanthropist, I'd buy every SpyderLover a Russell seat. That's how much I like mine, but it has the touring look that you want to stay away from.
So, my wife and her family are heading to the lake house in Pulaski NY on thursday morning and I need to stay and work that day. I am debating on whether I should take the spyder up there later on and do some serious driving or if it may be too much. I have only had the spyder for about 3months, but love it and put about 3400 miles on it so far.
Nice, it's so much fun up there. I love taking the sea doo out on Lake Ontario and Sandy Pond.Pulaski? Me and HDX got married on a boat while fishing for salmon on Lake Ontario :2thumbs:. He used to be a fishing & hunting guide up there for a while. Beautiful up there! Nice roads - go for it!!!!!

haha!Very pretty up that way! We don't have a Seadoo. Would be nice but we've only got Long Island Sound and that is filled with needles, garbage and sewer sludge. It's a cess pool, you won't see me in it. Lake Ontario is beautiful - I caught my first (and last) salmon there. Haven't been salmon fishing since but it was lots of fun, specially in a wedding dress trying to reel in the fish with this weight belt thingy on - those things like to fight!
I believe I was on that in a watermaster. First time fishing ever was in a watermaster with HDX - he did all the steering LOL - I had no clue and it was February - lots of snow and we were (well he was, I had no clue) fly fishing for Steelhead. Try going in the woods to take a pee w/ man sized waders on in over a foot of snow :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:. Then the summer we got married we took the kids and we were all in our own water masters - that was fun, I got the hang of it (sort of). Then we caught the salmon on the boat on Lake Ontario - I like boat fishing better!:thumbup:haha!
there's a river there called salmon river, and a ton of fishermen/women
1,518 miles in under 24 hours...:yikes: on the way to Ca. Also, coast to coast in 49 hours.

You are a riding fool Doc, and my hat is off to you, but I think SpyderGirl is right, you do have some sort of disorder. Or maybe you took that Iron Butt stuff seriously...and had an upgrade. :joke:Don't listen to this guy, he's got some sort of disorder.... the doctors are working on it. :joke:

We plan on doing anywhere from 600 - 800 miles a day during our trip in September. Of course we have heated Corbin seats, a nice big windshield, and the ability to switch back and forth between rider and passenger. We could probably do more but we want to take our time. Our vacation is the ride, not the destination.
BTW, 35 days before departure. :clap::2excited:
