The venue.

If you set off early enough you'll be there for tea time ish. I've done 500 in a day.
I'd offer my floor space, but theres more room on the roof than there is in the hosue

Is it a green zx9r? If so then I've seen him but don't know him. He must be a good rider because he was doing 20 mph down my road when it was as icy as hell recently.

No, he has old Laverdas

Lozzo, you need to take me out on this alps road!

It's a blindingly fast road with some challenging bends

A few years ago I was seeing a lass from Larkhall just south of Glasgow. I would spend every other weekend up there, travelling by ZZR1100 all year round. It was 375 miles door to door and I'd manage that in just over 5 hours on a Friday evening with one (some days two) fuel stop(s). I'd knock off early from work and jump on the bike as soon as I was changed into leathers, usually leaving at about 4pm, and just go as fast as I could up the M1 until I got to the M6 then decide which way from there depending on weather. If it was lookng like snowing I'd go M6 because I knew the A66 would be perilous. If the sun was shining I'd always take the M1/A1/A66 route to Penrith and then up the motorway from there because it was faster.

Having also done the south of France for a long weekend 2-up on a VF400F with full camping kit for two, long distances don't bother me at all.

i regularly go fraserburgh to Lincoln on the bike, not a big distance by any means but its a start! Average speed last time including petrol stops 76mph!!!
