Break up your day. Dave and I would stop every 1-2 hours to site see or eat. Just taking it easy that way you can do 400 miles in a day easy. Even on a Nomad. If you try to do the gas ride; gas ride; gas ride without stopping to site see and get off and walk you may do 450 miles but feel like a cripple at your hotel room. Fortunately my new Victory XCT has a wonderful saddle and riding position. Easily going well over 200 miles per tank. Drain tank, get gas, eat, walk around, mount up and one tank later I'm at over 400 miles. Not riding for an hour in between fill ups is a fantastic "attitude" adjuster.

There are two types of Harley riders. Those that trailer them and those that push them.
