#105913 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Junior Boarder Posts: 193 Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Wifey and I just pulled a 4600 mile trip from Colorado to KS, OK, AR, TN, MS, AL, FL, GA, back thru TN, KY, IN, IL, MO, back thru KS and home to northern CO. The bike ran awesome. The only complaint is the seats. Think this winter I will rebuild them. But again, when you pull some high mile days like we did ( like 2400 miles in 3 days to get there) I dont know if anything is really gonna do the trick. But Im still gonna redo the seats.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -recently updated 40 new pix 11/30/08   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105917 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4408 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Nothin is gonna make an 800 mile day feel good...let alone 3 in a row..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #105919 Gram (Admin) Musky took my beer! Admin Posts: 2434 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Check your personal messages VikingWarhorse I really prefer the Corbin's for long riding. Firm but comfortable. If you rebuild yours, think about writing a 'how to' article for the clinic with what you did.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Great link. Very informative. One of these days, I'd like to get a cheap stocker off of eBay and start playing with it.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #106015 underdog2003 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   all of that with stock seats?! I wouldn't be able to make it past 300 miles in one day without having to start stopping every 70 miles or so to get the blood flowing back to my behind. But that's one heck of a road trip! Do you have any kind of communications system set up?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106016 underdog2003 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Also, what kind of mpg did you average and at what speeds?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106031 charliez (User) Anytime is a good time for a ride! Junior Boarder Posts: 137 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   No way I could stand that long in the saddle . Did you ride two up ? If so how did wifey make it on that pad?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106595 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Junior Boarder Posts: 193 Re:Roadstar Roadtrip 4 Months ago   Ok I will try to answer all them questions for ya. Milage: Riding 2 up, fully loaded and Hwy speeds we averaged about 45 mpg., give or take due to various things like crosswinds and whatnot. NOt too bad. Yes we rode 2 up and wifey was ok with the pad....sort of. We all know that the stock seats leave something to be desired. As far as a communications system. Me and wifey have been riding together for years. we have a set of hand signals that we use when the yelling in my ear doesnt get it done LMAO.
