What is the farthest miles you have gone in one day ?

I hit traffic in Washington for about an hour in 101 Temps that day. The fans were running and I started to feel the heat on the seat. My next long run will be in cooler weather .

RayBY I may take that route next time . The Washington traffic is bad and still there is construction that stops the traffic.

500 mi on a two-wheel, about 300 mi. on my F3L.

When we head south to the Southeast mountains playground, we NEVER take i95 past Baltimore, DC, etc. Way too busy & too many tie-ups plus TOLLS. We usually go west on i78 to i81 south or take US highways into WV and points south. The rare slow-downs we've had were near Roanoke.

I and two friends did a 50CC IronButt ride several years ago all three on !800 Goldwings. We did a little over 1400 miles the first day and about 1100 the second day. Jacksonville Fl to San Diego Ca in a total of 47 hours over two days with about 7 hours of sleep in the middle. All three are members of IBA. Was one of the neatest rides I've done in 50 years of riding! It was a blast!

618 miles from Central Illinois to Western New York State on a 2012 RT, back in 2017. The next day was 47 miles. Too much to see along the St. Lawrence River and on. “Long days” now are 300-350 per day.

I drove 650 miles in 12.5 hours . ( I want to do an iron butt soon) I know there are riders who do many more miles in a day. So what is you max?

Coming home from the 1st Australian 500cc Motorcycle at Philip Island here in Australia. 1611 km (721 Miles) in 18 hours on my VF1000F2F, included a stop to weld a broken rack rack on mates Z1100 around the 1000 km mark.

The mate and I broke off from a group of about 9 who were doing the trip over two days, we wanted to try in 1. It was also when radar detectors were legal.

Why - new wives at home

I don't get to use miles very often thanks for correcting it.

We started using metric in the ‘70’s. I was taught miles and feet and inches in the ‘40’s so I am more proficient with the old system, but now we’re all metric. For approximation only, figure a kilometre to be 60% of a mile. That will be roughly correct.
