[QUOTE="Wanderer, post: 223496, member: 4755"] I've always been told, and it's also my expierence, that LD riding on a bike you average about 55mph, including gas/food/gear swaps. Figure out how much time you'd like to spend aboard the bike and that'll give you a good idea how long you'll be out. I.E. 8 hours gets you about 450ish miles down the road. I know I've done more milage in less time, but I paid for it the next day. (CO Springs to Phoenix, AZ- 900 miles in 11 hours on a Shadow 750 curiser) This rule of thumb has served me well thus far. If I get ahead, well, good for me, and it's pretty damed hard to fall behind, unforseen circumstances nonwithstanding. [/QUOTE]
