300 miles, even on my Goldwing Aspencade, is guaranteed to make your butt hurt for days if you don’t break up the trip into smaller segments.
For many people, 85 miles is more than enough in a single day.
Never said I’d ride it all at once. However, apparently there are some tough guys (and gals maybe) out there.

85 miles?................We usually do twice that to start!............
‘81 GL1100 w/ Vetter Windjammer III. Put 200k miles on that bike. Paid 3100 for it new at the end of the model year and sold it nine years later for 1500. It was one of the 50 prototype bikes that Honda made prior to pruduction. Factory ported & polished, rods and pistons balanced to 1/10 of a gram. Zero-zero runout on the crank. With some electric and carb mods the bike dynoed at 110hp. Added Progessive Precission fork springs, Ken Ross Racing seals, and air adjustable Magnum 1000 rear shocks. The Vetter fairing came with X & K band radar built in. T it was the smoothest motor i ever owned and plenty damn fast. People were lined up to buy that bike when i decided to sel it. If any of you remember Randy at Advanced Cycles in Daytona he did all the work. It was layer painted from top to bottom: silver fading into electric blue fading into black. Sharp if i might say. I had a comfy custom saddle put on it but can’t remember to make. I also had a set of detachable attache style luggauge but ran without it most of the time. Used to commute 120 mi day total. Longest one day ride was 680 mi. Butt wasn’t sore but i sure as heck stagged away from it when i got off. It was one helluva motor. Sold it after a voice came to me one day on the way home. It said, “its time you got off this bike.” Put it up for sale and have been on a motoe since. It was my forth and final motor.
