[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 299118, member: 310"] Were these bias or radial Marathons? I only weigh about 240-250, so I should be fine for another 10% in mileage. :rolleyes: I've never been much concerned with slicing the cake cleanly, and carry my prescriptions with me everywhere, one of which is constantly infused. So, no worries there.... :lol: On a more serious note, the only way this gets crazy is when one doesn't know when to get off the bike. Then, the ride becomes a big problem that adversely affects all of long distance riding, and is a huge burden to family and friends. Knowing when to stop, before becoming unsafe, is the most important skill in long distance riding. There's nothing wrong with expanding the limits, as long as they are recognized when approached. Thank you for your concerns and good wishes, Matt, and congratulations on a fine finish in this year's Iron Butt Rally! John Ryan [/QUOTE]
