nolton,
I be old; so, my preference when traveling is to do 350 to 450 miles (depending on twisty level) with stops and breaks about every tank full. Spread out the ride over 8 to 10 hours of daylight and then enjoy some small town cuisine, soak in the local color, find a good bar and and BS with the locals. An occasional flick in a small town antique theater is a plus as well.
Just My 2 Cents . . .

If we are talkin bout a group ride loop I'd try to keep it under 250 miles...with a nice lunch stop and some other scenic or rest breaks.

If we are traveling, then getting into 300-450 is ok...get into an overnight stop early enough for dinner & other local activities.

Then there is trying to get somewhere's in limited time and uninteresting country...then I'd go 800-1000 depending on conditions.

If you be talking like over 5 motors, the route and stops for the day should be scheduled. Anyone wanting to drop out for some unscheduled pix or a quickie can catch up by the next scheduled stop. Cell phones will help here as well so that NO ONE is left behind. Some folks like to take pix like a Japanese. I keep most of mine in my head. Frequent stops are a nuisance IMHO. It's about the ride first, the company second and all else would be a distant third.

I don't care one bit about sturgis. Matter a fact the RAA should be planned so that it dosen't line up with sturgis.

You won't have to do Sturgis if you don't want. It's a secondary ride for those that want to go. The first week is RAA. The second is beyond.
