Long Distance Motorcycle Riding on Race BikesWriten by Lance Winslow
Many people like to go for long distance bike rides, I know I use to all the time. I have ridden from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Reno and back to LA. I have ridden from LA up the coast to San Francisco and then up 101 and Highway 1 too. Riding long distance on a motorcycle is fun indeed. It is even more fun to test your skills on canyon roads far away that you have never ridden before. Of course if you are a motorcycle touring type chances are you like to ride a nice big comfortable bike.
Of course whenever you get to your destination you are still on a big bike instead of a very fast maneuverable type. So, one option is to ride long-distance on a race bike instead. Indeed this can be a real assflatener and therefore you need to figure out how to make the ride as comfortable as possible you see?
One way to make a long-distance ride more pleasurable is to go with friends and stop more often along the way 40-50 miles per leg or maximum of 75 miles per hour. Of course when you are out in the middle of nowhere you can open it up and make tracks so maybe 100 miles at 120 mph plus is not a very long-distance ride with regards to the time factor. Perhaps you will consider all this in 2006.
