I can’t really calculate the mileage but in the past i done a days dispatching round town from 08:30 to 18:30 on my GT550, then rode back home to Beckenham Kent, got on my old GSXR1100 and rode to Middlesboro (got there just before 23:00)
That was not an enjoyable day.
My hat comes off to you for managing that kinda mileage
From: Salamanca (spain) to Ouistreham (northern France Normandy).
Date: 1991
Bike: ZXR 750H2
Milage: forgotten - but lots!
It was unintentional - I had run run out of plastic money and only had enough cash for fuel and the odd cup of coffee I couldn’t even risk the toll routes. I had intended to sleep by the side of the road in France something I’d done many times before, but I hadn’t counted on RAIN, oh man it rained and rained, ok I did stop at a service station for a coffee, I stretched it out for a couple of hours but at around 9pm but they wanted to close so on I went. When I arrived at the coast it was a silly hour of the morning. I was soaked to the skin, starving hungry, freezing cold and very sore. On arrival I thought I would be comfortable in the terminal, but no I felt uncomfortable in any position I sat or lay in… except when sitting on the bike in a prone position arms folded on the tank. So there I sat until the 8am ish crossing.
Got back to london with a tea spoonful of petrol in the tank.
Discovered that I had been over charged for a petrol stop in Spain … by some £300 … a lesson learnt, an adventure had and an experience I can look back on with-OUT fond memories.
1200 miles in 31 hours, going to Krakow on my trusty CLR125. Having a top speed of 54mph, on the autobanh, in pitch darkness, in the rain, was not much fun.
Budapest to Marmaris on a ZZR1100. Left Budapest at 5 am and got to bed in marmaris at 1 am the following day. 2170 Kms in 20 hours…about half on motorway/fast roads with the rest on pretty much what you’d expect to find out there…Slept right through the day so pointless really…
