  • In August 2021 I rode 800 miles in 14 hours home from Montana on a BMW 1200 GS with cruise control, heated grips, and great wind protection. I planned to do it in 2 days but I kept feeling good so I kept going. Huge mistake; the last 3 hours were miserable and probably dangerous. I regularly ride 12 hour days but not freeways. The monotony of freeway riding takes a toll. I’ll never do it again. I much prefer to take back roads or better yet dirt. Stop for the sights, explore, eat at small restaurants and meet people. Those are the things I enjoy about riding not covering as many miles as possible.
