So, I just got the ok from my work to take the Friday on Labor Day Weekend off, I've been tentatively planning an "ironbutt" trip for that weekend. Denver to LA in 24 hours. I am pretty damn excited! After LA I'll go up State Highway 1 to San Francisco before heading back east to make it to Denver by Monday.
I know this really isn't common on a sportsbike, but I actually really enjoy long distance traveling on my Ninja (as long as I have a healthy supply of ibuprofen that is..). I did Atlanta to Denver in 5 days (one day detour to visit a buddy) and my longest trip in a single day was 531 miles from Denver to SLC, going the "long way" through western Colorado. That trip took 12 hours but I did have a detour there aswell as someone helped me stitch together my fairing that I cracked a few weeks before.. who knew a busted fairing wouldn't stay put at 90mph+ speeds on the highway?
Anyone do an "ironbutt" on their sport? How'd you fare? Where'd you go? Where did you stay (camping, motels, couchsurfing)?
