[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1351740, member: 29492"] No kidding. Your friends don't know to pee when they stop for gas? (Not [I]your[/I] friends, [B]Shane[/B].) Even in Georgia's mid-August with full ATGATT, 300 miles is a one-stop trip, and gets done in about 6 hours. Hydration is important: I have a CamelBak with 90-degree bite valve in the tank bag. My Harley buddies (they ride) have cup holders on their handlebars. I have seen one of them toss the empty into his hard case and fetch a new one while motoring up I-75 at 80 mph. To paraphrase Mr. [B]Lumberg[/B], I felt like an LD rider only after my first tank-to-tank-to-tank ride. All that said, the best Distance Riding Improvement you can make (that was the OP's question) is to gain experience and discover what [I]you [/I]need to be comfortable for whatever [I]you [/I]define as a long ride.
