What did you do today

Peterwh
At the risk of being banned from the forum, we rented a Harley in Key West and drove an 80 mile round trip up the Keys and back.  Had a great ride but the bike rattled like a bag of nuts and bolts.

Are, you bragging, or complaining? Going to the keys would be nice, but the beating from the Harley they did not have any Honda's?

80 Miles in a day is a pretty hard ride on a Harley. Most are only good, for 15-20 miles a weekend.

I was replying to Shiny. 1340 on a CB 750 would not be too bad. I have done it in two days before. No problem except, for having to stop, for gas every 150 miles.

I was replying to Shiny too but no worries.  I should have made it clear.  My fault.

Everybody's replying to me! I feel special.Sorry for the confusion guys.20+ hours or 1340 miles...either way,that would be hard to do on any bike.Your love of riding can only live up to what your butt can endure!
