Default Anyone Travel/Tour on their bike?

In case anyone does, I found this universal Bike Trunk at sears, and $32/FS seems like a decent deal.

Careful there buddy, Bike Tech hates anyone that uses their motorcycle for anything more than a NorthRun or a cruise out with friends on the weekends.

Touring or being a Daily Driver isn't allowed here.

I might consider doing something longer than a N Run if my bike didn't disfigure my balls every time I rode.

You guys couldn't hang with us in GA, TN or NC then. 10 or 11 hours days are common. Though that does include stopping for lunch, gas and breaks here and there. So its not non stop riding.

No, just trying to use your bike to replace a car and having to do all kinds of ball busting stupid shit as a result. Because then you're a freak.

I don't think anything bad has ever been said about touring here.

more then a straight hour on the 636 sucked ass

4 hours plus on the zx14 (to miami from tampa) and it was cake... now that the bar risers, throttlemiser, and taller windscreen are on it its even easier to ride long distance, adjustable foot pegs might be next
