Rode my motorcycle half way across America

Ойын-сауық

I rode my motorcycle half way across America in a day and a half. But why? Why would someone decide to put them through that many miles in one day on a Harley-Davidson? We travel from Big Springs, TX to San Diego and travel 1038 miles.

    I've ridden from western NY to Lake Tahoe and back on my Heritage Softail. I averaged 630 miles per day. It was an amazing ride across America, passing over the Mississippi, through the great planes, the Bonniville salt flats, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada mountains! I was 45. I'm 63 now and ready to do it again. Great video. Ride safe brother.

    Hi from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Just come across your channel. I'm a 70 Yr old greybeard (but still feel like I'm 25), ride a Softail Custom, and love all things Harley. I'm a huge fan of the USA having lived, worked and travelled there over the years. Ridden Route 66 and Pacific Coast Highway, with plenty more rides on my bucket list! The American biker lifestyle is awesome. Ride Free 👍

    I've done it countless times. When I'm cross country riding I leave a couple hours before sunrise. that way most of my ride is in sunlight, watching the sun rise is beautiful, and most of my ride is trouble free since most people don't hit the interstate until around 10:00am. I bought a 2015 Victory Vision a few weeks ago and knocked out 1000 miles before I realized it. After decades of riding mid-sized cruisers and transitioning to a full-sized touring bike full of accessories it's like rolling down the interstate on a couch!

    I've never done an iron butt or a 1000 miles in one stretch on a bike. About 600 is my max on a bike. But I traveled the USA for 40 years in my work and pulled off many 36 hr straight runs with 30 minute driver seat naps. I enjoy your videos dude, keep em coming.

Then ya hit 5 hundy and it’s like, okay Halftime, here comes the second half. Then you get those spots that seems forever to get thru in your mind. And sometimes we get a second wind, and sometimes we’re telling ourselves, dude just pull over at Tacna and call it!!! Lol. Glad you pushed thru buddy! Always nice to wake up next morning and know it’s behind you; now let’s grab a coffee and go to the garage to see how dirty the bike is🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸

This would help me with your feedback & your long ride and if my 2023 RG standard with stage 1 along with my Mustang Tour seat and standard suspension could do this long without stopping overnight.?. I’m planning on a long 2 up trip in a short time next year in March and get back to home in Houston before vacation time is up so not sure if “we” can withstand the pain like you did. Amazing ride, wow! Looking forward to your answers. Thanks!

Stopped only for gas and was in Chicago about 1:00 pm. Kept going and stopped near Omaha NB shortly after dark. A good day. Had a plan if riding to the tip of South America (Ushuaia) about the 1st if the year but that has fallen through. My wife and all my friends are relieved.

But it won’t be open roads all the way. In my opinion a good 650cc bike is all that’s enough for India.
