Most miles in a day

You know a huge amount will depend on the weather.

A warm, pleasant sunny calm day and you will find it doable if not particularly enjoyable.

A wet windy cold day and it won't be doable. end of. You will be cold, tired, wet through and riding badly in a couple of hundred miles. A danger to yourself and others.

Just 1 thing, you've not said on what bike, as that can make a big difference, [/quote]

Currently my YZF600 but i'm actually looking hard at the Pan Europeans and buying one for this trip.

450 miles, from the Ardennes to my home in Lincolnshire, about 50:50 motorway versus scenic route.

Was not comfortable and probably not 100% paying attention during the last 100miles and was very pleased to get off. I wouldn't do that kind of distance on a holiday again except for on the final day slog home (which it was).

Leeds to Westward Ho (dont know the mileage) on an MZ Supafive on L's so no motorways. Slept on a drystone wall for a bit at one point.

[1198]

Just considered a trip to Italy to meet Mrs. 1198 there and avoid the plane (not because I don’t want to fly, just fancied the ride instead). Errr, it’s nearly 1500 miles. Maybe not!!

Glezga to Saint John de Mont. 900 miles 17-18 hours.
Just fuel stops within tank range about 220 miles per tank to avoid pushing the fucking thing along a frog motorway.

570 miles. Home to JOG on a 600 Bandit.

I find big miles easy on motorways (but boring). Did a 400 mile round trip to Father Teds house last year. Only about 30 miles on motorway. Def tired when I got home.

I agree with everyone saying 300 mile/day limit for enjoyment.

I'm guessing nearly 1000 miles from a daft Spanish town in France (Llivia) to home in Rovrum. For extra demerit points it was done on a few hours of kip in a tent after a very boozy night where I either lost or had my precious phone knicked. Had a sudden urge to bugger off back home, leaving my companion alone, and bailing on plans to meet with another group somewhere in Central France.

Sleep deprivation definitely didn't help. Nor the fact that only 2 days previous I'd had the carbs off to clean out the float seats with a twig following a saga with a badly bodged fuel pump... Anyway I couldn't find a comfy drystone wall but at some point I just slumped upright outside a French petrol station somewhere in the North, with helmet still on for warmth. This gave me an extra 5% charge to carry on. The least fun part was hitting the morning rush hour traffic in engerland, at least I'd had a decent half hour beauty rest on the chungle by then.
The funnest part was still managing a bit of the old in and out once ar lass had picked me up off the floor where I'd fancied another slumpery celebration of a rest for managing to get home. Eyyy. Slept for a whole week after that.

Funnily enough, my longest one was after a night of zero sleep. Having arrived at the hotel after a full day's riding, the room was like an oven, no air conditioning. I had booked three nights, but by the time the morning came around I just decided to bail and go home. The whole tour had been hot, but at least my other hotels along the way had either been a bit cooler or had air conditioning.

650 miles from France down into Spain. Nearly killed me. Resolved to limit to 5-6 hours a day after that.

Paris to Glasgow ... around 680 miles.

The last half hour seemed to last hours ... 35 miles to go doing 70 ... speed watch going on so then 30 miles to go doing 60 ... then 25 miles to go at 50 ... began to feel like it'd always be half an hour to get home!

Nightmare journey ... wet and windy ... took around 12 hours all in.

1200 Bandit.

About 750 miles in 14 hours from La Grange Motte in the Carmargue to Romford, when I enjoyed the holiday so much I stayed an extra day and had to get home.

That was some years ago on a Blackbird and my memory tells me les flics didn't police the autoroutes as much as they do now.

I fell into a comfortable rhythm of going fast enough to empty the tank in about an hour, filling up and carrying on. Stopped for food once, I believe.

I had to shout my son to help me off when I got back home, and it didn't really compute that I was on English soil. I was trying to do the speeds I'd been doing in France. It could have ended badly but, fortunately, didn't.
