I'm sure, ( without doing any research ), that we Triumph Rocket owners come in all shapes, sizes, and in varied states of medical health. Some of us may need to, ( call it "want to" ), hop off the bike every 150 miles. While others are hoping for a 600 mile day. Either way, it's okay. We're all members of the same club, and we need to remember each other's special circumstances. There are times, when I take leisurely rides, and I don't care much about logging miles. But, there are other times, when my priority is to travel 600 miles per day, or even more, ( if I could ). We all have our limits, though, and you reach a point, when you just can't go any farther. You need a break. Not for gas. For yourself. I don't mind being the "weak link in the chain". I can challenge myself to perform better. My gripe is when the bike forces me to hop off of it every 150 miles. When I was younger, I could've easily sat on a bike for three hours at a clip, ( like a long distance drive in a car ). No problem. I'd like to think, I could still sit on a bike that long today, ( if I had a bike that would allow it ). No. Don't even think about it. I'll never part with my Rocket.
