    And hey, Paul Revere, you'll have no problems on a 600 mile day. This bike makes it a piece of cake.

Looking forward to this weekend like a kid in a candy store. I still have the need to know I can do two 600 mile days in a row in September, and the OP here gives me more mental juice that I can.
    I did 1100 miles in one day within 3 months of getting this bike.
    I was actually looking to ride more the next day!

    On Saturday , well Sunday too, few of those miles were Interstate. So I spent a lot of time in the saddle. Had I been doing superslab, I would have had many more miles for sure. So all that to say, it is definitely doable . That is a couple 600 mile days.

    WJ Duke, just ride it. I just did 3654 miles in four days for the moonshine lunch run. One of the days was only about 80 miles. days one and four were over 1k each. Eating miles on a 6 is a piece of cake.

    Good ridin,

    Paul Revere goes to bed at 9 pm, so I missed that. Good one teach. I'm in no way worried about the bike. I love the way this baby hums down the road. Don't worry, I'm doing this trip. Threads like this give the confidence I need. What I need to do is stop listening to Harley riders when I tell them about it. They shake their head and say, " I don't know man, that's a lot."

    Yep, no problem soaking up miles on the F6B, once you've got her set up for you.

    I ,as a general rule, AVOID interstates for my preferred twisty back roads. Provided I have the luxury of time on my side.

    So Saturday's 682 miles included lots of time riding through posted 10 and 15 mph curves and small towns. and Sunday's was the same.

    That's a good day of riding right there, Jimmy.
    I find it amazing how this bike just eats up the miles so easily.
    Stay safe.
