    Sorry but you can’t deny the fact that you’ll get tired over long distances and 1200 miles in a day is an extremely long distance even by car.

    I know about iron butts, there’s nothing new about what you’re doing, but just because others do it doesn’t mean it’s wise to do it. I can’t believe I have to say that to an adult, that’s something you’re supposed to understand as a kid.

    Hell, truck drivers do that for a living and they have legally imposed maximum driving time for this reason and riding a motorcycle is much more taxing than driving in an insulated cab.

      I love it! We went from battery tech to being me getting scolded like a toddler. We are going to have to disagree here. If you can’t stay awake and alert for 19 hours, fine. Good on you for recognizing your limits, but you have to concede there are people out in the world who can do it, safely. Probably more than you think. Yes there is a reason truck drivers keep logs and take lawful mandatory rests. They do it as a job every day, and they get exploited to keep a schedule. Mulitple days of sleep deprivation will have consequences. Were are talking about 1 recreational day on a motorcycle with plenty of preparation. Believe or not it’s not hard. Especially in perfect weather conditions.

        Just like there are people that swear they ride better after two beers, it’s just people unable to admit they’re human like anyone else.

        Grow up before your hurt someone else.
