90% of my riding is done solo. I plan 500 mile days but it is nothing to
end up doing 600+ miles. I leave at sunrise and get home at sunset.
I don't get off the bike for anything but fuel ups and food and maybe
a photo or two. I hit the restroom where I eat or fuel up. Sometimes
I take my own food so I hit one of the many rest areas along I40 and
85...they are easy on and easy off.
Some trips I spend 12-14+ hours in the saddle. I hope this Kawi motor
holds up to the punishment I give it. When I crank the bike in the morning I
don't give it many breaks...I never stop for more than 20-30 mins.
I think I have done several iron butts over the years but I have nothing
to prove it...I did them without even knowing what an iron butt was hahaha.
I have seen pretty much everything NC has to offer...I am getting borded with this state.
I am planning a cross country trip and hope to do it this coming fall.
But yeah, if you are riding solo and do not have any health issues then
you should have no problem doing 500...especially if you do a lot of
highway miles. Hope I do not sound brash but you asked and I am
tellin' ya.
