When doing that 150mile ride to go camping, I once had to stop and fill up with a quart of oil halfway through the trip in 100+ heat

Reply #18 - 10/28/11 at 19:42:55 I ride about three miles from home to the interstate and then up the freeway 17 miles to work. The surface streets give me time to warm the engine up, so the 65-75 on the freeway seems like a cake walk. I was told that the PO ran about 75 freeway milers each day...which is why he got a heaver bike.

I work from home, so there's no commute. Motorcycling is strictly recreational. I have a 1996 Savage converted to a Ryca. Bought the Savage two years ago with 11K miles. It now has 20K miles on it. Converted to a Ryca at 17K miles in mid June. Rides are typically 80-120 miles mostly on secondary roads in Connecticut and Rhode Island with a cafe stop along the way. Anything beyond 100 miles starts to be tiring --on both the former Savage and the present Ryca. The bike is a pleasure on back roads and will keep up with traffic (60-65 mph actual) on the Interstates.

Aida and I road the the Lone Star Rally this weekend. 60 miles each way, and we were between 70 - 80 the entire time. She on the savage, and me on the Marauder. The bad part was the traffic at the end to park. We were at idle for 20 minutes. That did burn up some oil. Of course, I can not complain about parking. It takes a while to park 1300 bikes from one ride! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G00T7aUxxNg

Its a 1987 with 29K on it. 23-25 miles each way, 50-65 mph. No issues other then a pesky little oil leak. Need to switch to something a bit heavier. This old mileage bike is pissed about 10-30.

My wife and I rode from Windsor Ontario to Niagara falls Ontario and back. Her on a 1998 savage and me on my hog.( roughly 500 mile round trip). Was totally impressed. That bike ran right beside me all day long and never even gave a hint of trouble!!!!we ran speeds of 55-60 mph all day . No oil leaks or consumption! Awesome bike for my wife.
