In 2005, I rode from my home town of Lanett Alabama, to the Arctic Circle and Coldfoot Alaska. Round trip was 10,063 miles.

Coldfoot is the mid-way point that the truckers stop at on the show Ice Road Truckers.

I stopped there at the truck stop and got gas and ate.

This was done on my 3rd of 6 Honda Goldwings. It was a 1989 GL1500.

Here's an account of my adventure. Trip To Alaska's Arctic Circle

I bought my first Harley Davidson back in July. A 2014 Ultra Classic. I am hoping to do this trip again next year on it!

By the way, this Harley is the most awesome machine I have ever owned!!!

Mine was Columbia, SC to Toronto and back. Not sure of the miles.
Not much compared to the Arctic circle.
Some asshat knocked over my bike at a hotel near Pittsburgh.
Some Honda Goldwing riders chased him off, found me and helped me get her back up and going...

Hell kd, I could do that trip easy if you gave me 8 to 10 months from start to finish to do it.

Twice this year I have ridden to San Antonio, TX to visit my son. No interstate roads; all two lane roads or old US Hwy system. Four days travel down hitting VA, WV, TN, AL, MS, AR, LA, TX. Spend a week with family; eat some barbeque; play some golf; spoil my granddaughter. Four days travel to return home through TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, SC, NC, VA. Eleven states; eight days travel; 3200 miles +/- without side trips. While there in October, I was able to add the Twisted Sisters in the Hill Country.

 

[Thunder~Struck]

Around 3000 miles. My old haunt in North Central Ohio to Key West.
Would have been great if it were a stop and smell the roses kind of trip. But was a "business" trip.

Rantoul Illinois to mesa arizona and back
Was long time ago and I was 19 yrs old. A friend had moved out there from Illinois and one day his mom called me and ask if I would ride his 77? Kaw kz 900 out to arizona for him... I would be riding out there with his Dad and six of his dads friends all of them on touring bikes

Catch was I had to ride back on back of his dads bike. I didn't mind to much :what?
But I assure you this much..it was a long ride back :eek

[Miles Tequillya]

I have not taken a long trip yet...the longest I've done (and the better half) was the outer banks from my house in eden nc...then we went down the outer banks to Wilmington nc and then back to eden..That was about 1100 miles for the weeks vacation.

One day I'll make a long trip...but until then I'm going to enjoy burning the road up around here

 

[ksnfme]

676 miles from the Lehigh Valley to Virginia beach, we went down 11/15 by gettysburg, through fredrick md then to 95 and over.
Came back up across the chesepeak bay and 13 through Delaware then up 95 into nj at trenton then up 29 to 519 and home.
No cross country trek, but far enough for us and a nice time. Only ate a couple of bugs on the way and 1 pigeon ;-)
