21,569 km of North America solo on a sportbike: Summer 2011

Good lord you did this on gsxr 600? My back would've given out on me past London and I'm in my mid 20's!

Lol.
I have ridden a GSXR750 for up to 17 hours none stop recently except for gas and pee breaks and only had an uncomfortable bottom at times. It just works for me and the arched back position on a ss bike is great as all the energy from bumps is not directed up my spine like it would be on a cruiser for example.

Thanx for telling us about your ride. I am jealous also. Sounds a lot more fun than doing what so many do which is test their luck with the police in their own backyards every weekend.

I hope to do a few week long rides next summer in the U.S., to see places and sites. I once did a ride from Calgary to Toronto with only a 2 hour nap along the way, a few years ago on a GSXR750. Could not do that again. I recall it being 3,200 kms in 42 hours. Having so many gas stops is what adds to the time. If there is a next tme I will stop and see more along the way.

Riding is therapeutic!
