[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 183498, member: 436"] We are all so different in how long we like to sit on the bike at a stretch and how long and how often we like to rest that I am not surprised at the variety of responses. Personally, I don't like to plan for stops and don't reserve in advance. I like to have the freedom to change my route and sometimes even my destination as the whim strikes. If you don't feel compelled to reach some predetermined stop for the night it is easier to just call it a day when you get tired, or ride a few more miles if you are enjoying the ride. I agree with Bounce in that I would rather be riding than sitting in a hotel or campsite when it is still daylight. Seven or eight hundred miles would be a reasonable daily average if I don't spend time at points of interest. Edit: The above is assuming riding solo. With a pillion you are restricting the room you have to move around on the seat so you probably need to stretch a bit more often. And, you have to keep your pillion happy so you don't want to push beyond his/her limits. [/QUOTE]
