Going to do about 2400 miles when I pick up the Drifter in June.  Around 500 miles a day is my limit but I have done 1700 miles in one trip on the 1500 Kawi Classic.  Did a run from north western Washington to Reno and back (6 days) on a Suzuki C50.

Hey Bull, there was a handful of Drifters that showed up for the southern Drift-In in Robbinsville that year. Can't recall the hotel we stayed at, but I believe it was the one listed for the event.

As for longest trip on my Drifter, I've ridden her twice now to Daytona and back from Detroit. Last year, I rode from Detroit to Daytona, Daytona to Gulport, MS, Gulfport to Evansville, IN, Evansville back to Detroit, right around 3000 miles if I remember correctly. Exactly one week from today, we're going to attempt another ride down to Daytona again. I just wish that they would move bike week out another month, as this riding in freezing temps sucks! LOL.

1100 miles in 22 hours. That's for one day.
I am an Ironbutt member so my longest ride was just over 10k.

A little over 500 miles one night, in the rain, through a tornado-cyclone thing. Cincinnati to Chappel Hill Tn. When you can feel the rain drops hitting your boots, its raining hard!
Update: 955 round trip to the Tail of the Dragon and back. Still found lots of rain on the way back >:(

I did a little trip from Florida to Montana and back last June. And a couple of shorter ones from FL to AZ. No problem other than the constant stopping for GAS! lol

Get out there!

Don't know yet. Unfortunately, we really never know until the last minute. Plus any distance riding we have to do on the Goldwing - my wife has MS and can't handle the Drifter any more. We could trailer, but for us the trip is more important than the destination...

Sounds like this one will be a good one, however.

Cheers.

They were over there, likely out riding. I don't think they had 13 show up, however. I remember your emails.

Cheers.

Longest 1 day ride for me is about 250 miles. But, with the sidecar attached it can be a little more fatuiging. Still great fun though!

600 miles in one day driving my drifter home from Virginia to Indiana. I figured that would be far enough to get to know him better! Picked him up in May and have put 4000 miles on him already!
