My longest day was on my 1995 BMW GS 1100. 1360 mi in 22 hrs. Rode the Blue Ridge Parkway from Roanoak, Virginia back to Little Rock AFB. Long day but a great trip.
Those do make for long days but good ones. I was going to stay at my parents place in southern Illinois as the last stop on a colorado/texas/ohio/colorado trip and then I looked at the forecast and decided if I wanted to make it back to home before the snow storm I better get going. Spent the night in Denver because I thought it would be best to not do the passes in the dark after that long a day. Heading up to the tunnel the next morning it started snowing.... sideways... just before the top. Never knowing what is on the other side I slowed traffic down and then hauled butt to the exit and stopped to see what I was heading into fearing it could be ice/snow. Funny how you can be happy with 38 degrees and raining. Heated handgrips never felt so good:) I've always wanted a FJR to replace the ST but seem to keep finding other toys I "need" more.
Back on topic... I loaded the camper tonight for a trip to Denver this weekend and left off the stableloads. Added 80 pounds to the airbags as a starting place and took it out for a short drive. Seemed to have a little more "sway" to it when whipping the wheel back and forth but I'm going to leave them off and see how it does to Denver. I'm sure if I hadn't put the stableloads on before it would seem just fine but I know with them it handles great with little to no sway and it only takes 5 minutes to put them on.
