BDM and Ironhorse survey

[Mickeetwo]

Just about all of are day rides are 300+ miles. Have done several 1000+ mile weekend rides. If it breaks me and the dog will get home one way or another. No matter what type of transportation you have theres always a possibility it will break. Be it a HD, Honda, Chevrolet, or Ford. I don't let it keep me from going some where.

Done it several times. Will do it several more.

Routinely--Blacktopper and I rode over 10,000 miles on K9's last year, many occasions 600+ miles in a day....can't wait for March to Daytona to get started again this year!!

 

[1BADK9]

I can't ever seem to ride 300 miles in one day.........the damn bars are all too close to each other here.

 

[sigma01]

Hell ya, 400 +. Love the Dog

 

[Knuckles]

Do it every year to Stugis and back (400 miles one way) and several other weekend rides throughout the year.

 

[RoadRider]

Absolutely I think my longest on the dog was 415 miles but I have no reservations in going anywhere .

 

[SCOTTx88]

I've done 200 in a day on my Mastiff,haven't really went anywhere with it yet.

 

[pknowles]

I think we should let Raywood represent us on this one

 

[Mr. Wright]

Heck, we ride to st. Louis just to eat, quite offten, 130miles one way. Been to the gulf coast and the east coast, twice, both two day trips. MAN I'M READY TO RIDE, LET GO SOMEWHERE.

Was reading the Ironhorse forum, similar to this one ( but our guys seem so much more helpful) and the question was made "would you ride your IH more than 300 miles in day"? Over 90 % said no due to reliability issues. A few said no due to back problems ( can relate). But lets ask here would you trust your ride to go 300 miles in a day?

What AIH forum?

350 miles in a day, most riding roads in West Virginia.

 

[reloaderbmg]

[chili08k9]

I ride 221 Miles to the beach to eat lunch and then 221 miles back home about once a month no problems 08 K9 EFi (not in the winter though)

 

[Brew]

630 miles in a day no problems on Mastiff. 330 in a day on the Ridge no problems alls good! :2thumbs:

 

[RCAdd1ct]

I have run 200+ on my AIH.

Bike was ok, but gusting winds made my neck hurt so I called it a day.

This was the ride that the guy videoing me doing 70mph on the highway almost cut the ride short when he caused traffic flow issues.

 

[welder198]

I ride mine between 350 and 400 miles on a regular basis and don't have any problems. Would ride more but usually don't have the free time to ride more than that

 

[RCAdd1ct]

In general I assume the limiting factor in a day is more the rider than the bike.

That is pretty much a universal truth for all modern bikes....hell even early HDs went cross country. They did not do that by saying 30 miles is good enough a day for me.
