I have a new respect for my Bike now though...It taught me to buy a Sport Touring Bike for 17 hour Jaunts across the east coast
I've done long trips....I think it's just a mental thing for me.

I get too caught up in my own thoughts and don't pay enough attention. When I'm riding for pleasure it's a bit more focused than that. Straight highway riding is NOT for pleasure.
