North Devon

Longest single ride I did was Thurso (Scotland's northern coast) to Devon.

Took 16 hours including stops for petrol etc, on a Ducati Monster 600.

It was cold, wet, uncomfortable, wet and did I mention how wet it was? Lol

I’m guessing the wettest parts were north of the boarder.

"I’m guessing the wettest parts were north of the boarder. "

Yep, it pissed it down pretty much solidly from Aviemore to Glasgow, then again all the way through Shap and down to Manchester.

I soon discovered that "waterproof" is a marketing term rather than a reality

Longest run in one go was Silverstone to Aberdeen

8hrs...only stopping for fuel and the loo..cramming food in when I could. Don't recommend that ..backside was killing me

Next was picking up my k1200s from Nottingham and riding it back to Aberdeen.. took a more sedate approach this time sms was all the better for it

Beverley

Inverness to London, 600 miles on a ZZR1100, weather was either very wet or very very wet.

Took 12 hours including petrol and ciggy breaks, when I used to smoke!

Great way to square off tyres but done at a time when no speed cameras etc on A9 so some bits were good fun.

Don’t know why that’s been deleted but I said that my first “long” run was midlands to the south coast and back. Not as long as some already mentioned but it’s a start. Glad it was on a cruiser.

West Wales

Rode back from south of Zurich in one hit once, was about 780 miles to home. I slept pretty much the entire next day so a bit of a waste really.

Longest recently was North Essex to Bovington, five hours looking at tanks then into Poole for bike night/Fish & Chips & then back to North Essex. 0530 start, back home around 2200.
