Curious to hear about your experiences doing road trips on this bike. Mine is going in for her very first tune-up this week, and while I am not likely to do a road trip this season, I am definitely doing one next summer. Based on how pleased I was with my several 10-12+ hour days of riding (granted, not non-stop, but still), I'm confident that I can do some serious road trips with this bike and be just alright.
I'm thinking of riding down into the states (not too far coming from montreal), then riding west, and back up into Canada on the west coast. Is that a terrible idea? I've driven from east coast to west coast through Canada, years ago, and that wasn't bad. I assume going stateside would be considerably longer. I really liked the roads I found the couple of times I rode down there though.
So it's either that, or just ride south.. and keep riding south, we'll see I guess. Whatever I decide I'm really looking forward to it. Let's hear your experiences! Also any tips or suggestions for stuff would be welcome.
