Hell at my age (70) I'm lucky if I do 35 miles 1 way. Got no riding buddies left to ride with. Most of the younger riders that I know want to bar hop no matter we we go. I'm not into that anymore, but to each their own. Lost a couple of friends by drunken car drivers. I could drink almost all day and still go 50 miles 1 way just to get another beer. Have drank way to may beers over my YOUNG life, at this age the fun has basically worn off.

nice video...

I am the same kind of rider as you. When I go for a bike ride, riding is what I do :) .
I eventually upgraded my 600cc Yamaha FZ6R to a FJR1300 with a big windscreen. -
The video is beautiful. What camera are you using? And is the colouring of the video edited? It looks HDR or some similar post-processing to reduce the contrast between the light sky and the darker foreground.

A good source of information regarding long distance riding is the Iron Butt Association web site, http://ironbutt.com/about/default.cfm?CFID=21224025&CFTOKEN=87089635 .

One thing I need to figure out is where do you Youtube vloggers get your helmets? Because I have 3 of them and none are quiet enough to chat whilst riding at more than about 40 mph. Yet people on here cruise along at 80mph, just chatting away like they're in a car?

This should be labeled long distance on a naked sport bike. I ride a HD Road King and a lot of this is not really relevant. I do agree with a lot of what you had to say, finding your daily distance, getting off at gas stops, hydrating, and ear plugs (don't laugh because I drive a Harley). I wear ear plugs not because of the noise but because of the oscillating air pressure. I wear a 3/4 helmet and use a windshield. I don't know how you can do so many miles without one. A windshield at the right height can give you a bug free vision and can keep the rain off your glasses. Gerry in Calgary

Great advice.
Things I've learned covering long distances in a day. They have more to do with you as the rider than what type of bike you ride. I never mention this in the video, but you should ABSOLUTELY wear full riding gear for long rides. Safety aside, jeans and a shirt make you tired over hundreds of miles... how?... they flap relentlessly, wearing on your nerves. You can also get killer sun/wind burn on exposed areas. Think gear is too hot? So did I, and I rode that way until I started thinking about the inevitability of a mishap. I'm from AL and lived in TX for three years... I know hot, and I can tell you that my full ventilated gear is still way more comfortable for long, fast riding. This is even more true in desert weather where it gets even hotter but the air is dry. In short, I now finish a 700 mile ride with much more energy and in a much better mood then when I rode in jeans and a shirt.
