longest ride on my bike yet
Today is Sunday and I had a full tank of gas. I decided to test my endurance and do some riding up to Pittsburgh. I took 40 out of Wheeling West Virginia all the way up to 519 outside of Washington, Pa. Then I took 519 to 19 and rode 19 into the Burgh.
The bike performed flawlessly. But Butt however is worse for the wear. On the way back I decided to take the highway as storm clouds were looming. Despite being thrown all over the place by wind and tractor-trailers, I made it home in one piece. In total I rode 149 miles. Only stopped once to make sure my lights were all working and everything was in order. Plan on doing it again next week only with a stop at Hooters for some wings and a couple of beers while I stare longingly at the mammary glands of my waitress. :twisted: PS: MY BUTT HURTS...I GOTTA FIND SOME FOAM FOR UNDER SEAT COVER!!!!!! |

You can add foam to the top and recover with naugahide, that way if it looks crappy you still have the stock seat underneath. I needed to get a strong stapler when I did mine.

I am planning an insane looooooong ride myself.
1000miles or 1600km. Springfield, MO to Charleston, SC. TAKING ALL BETS. but you gota specify the city in which I will break down in and the problem. As far as seats if you want a confy one the 80s gs's had a seat that was 4"s thick and I made a 1500 mile one stop for sleep jurny no prob. BTW I riped that 20# seat off after I got back home and put on a 1*6 board and leather "custom" lite wheight seat.
