what is the most miles you have done in 24 hours?

[nick crisp]

Back in the '90s I took one of the first 600's out on a demo.  Ended up in Prague after a week and got a message from George Whites in Swindon asking where their bike was .
Did the 960 miles back in one hit - 20 hours - brilliant bike.  On my return I asked to buy it and was told I had to wait two months for Yamaha to start dealer deliverys.
The start of a 10 year love affair with Fazers.

OK, that's pretty impressive! Not something I'd like to try (but not exactly young and fit now!) Now consider this - when you got back, someone then approaches you and says "you've now got 4 hours to do 240 miles (average 60mph) - would you do it?

I've done 850 in a normal 'daylight' day.  Not too bad.  It helped the weather was good, i wouldn't fancy doing it in the pissing rain.

I'm off to Europe tomorrow - Leaving Bristol at 530 and hope to be in Freiburg-I-B by 800pm.  About 650miles all up.

1200 in 24 hours, doable if you think of it as 2x 600miles.

If I meet you at Freiburg and say, "no, don't stop, keep going for another 550 miles", will you do it? I think there's a difference between doable, and wise.
