As the title says really. After only about an hour and a half of continuous riding all I'm fit for is falling off the bike and crawling away rather than walking.
Whats the longest you have ridden for without stops of any kind ( your allowed to stop for traffic lights ) ? ____________________ And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Three hours on a cg wasn't that just a little uncomfortable ?
Three and a half on a scoot ! I'm feeling very inadequate right now. ____________________ And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

3 hours or so on one of the MT's
I did once try getting a passenger to fill up my tank from a jerry can whilst riding, it didn't turn out as bad as you'd expect it to  ____________________ Current: Suzuki RG 125 Gamma, Honda H100, Triumph Tiger 800XC, Suzuki SV650 (minitwin) |

I don't know to be honest, I would say at a guess around the 2 to 3 hour mark, as I suffer with numb fingers, numb bum and also my pelvis/hip is inclined to click/move as it's damaged. So I have to get off in order to feel everything properly again, do some stretching.
Would absolutely dearly love to do some serious touring, but my body just won't allow it.
As it is, when I'm on a long journey, and on a mission to get somewhere, I will often just pull over, stand and jiggle about, stretch the fingers, nip to the loo and then get back on again. ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

4 hours on the M6/M5 southbound from Stoke to Bristol...
It was in 2007 when it flooded Evesham / Glouster area. The M5 was completely flooded - so deep that you couldn't see the rumble strip on the reservation side of the outside lane.
We filtered all the way from Hilton Park services to Micheal Wood services...Its only about 110miles. ____________________ 25/7 I'm a God-damn Rock Star

Only just over 110miles before stopping for fuel.
But I rode from Ullapool in Scotland to Norwich only stopping for fuel on my 400 last summer and that took 12 hours but I had to make 6 fuel stops which gets a little annoying. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj
