I rode 700 miles in a day for the first day out on the way to the Western Rally, didn't seem too long. I've had worse 400 mile days. I must have been in the mood.

On the last day of the rally, I don't remember how many miles I went, but we started out at about 7:00am and I rode straight till 11:00pm.

For me, heading out on a trip is a lot more exciting than comming back home, and the days don't seem as long.

On my recent road trip to west coast I had three days over 450 miles and I must admit they were the least pleasant of the whole 23 day trip. 300 miles or less per day is perfect for me. Did I mention I hate freeways? Buck

Longest ride for me was today. 756.5 miles (according to the nads trip meter). Riding it home from purchasing it.

My longest day ride was on the return trip from my Western Rally > Salt Lake City trip. Blanding, Utah to Chandler, AZ about 470 miles. It wasn't a bad ride, but the last 100 miles were in 110 degree temps I was pouring water on my shirt to try to keep cool at 80-85 MPH. I couldn't get home fast enough. I had killed about an hour around Monument Valley, just dinking around taking pictures and stuff. I still made it home before the afternoon rush hour got bad.

Where did you buy it? Salt Lake City? Phoenix?

Welcome to my world. You should have let me know you were in the area. I'd have ridden with you for a spell.

What year Nomad did you buy? Did you buy at a dealer or from a private seller?

Picked up an 08 w/CA emissions with 450 miles with a "restored salvage" title. Needs a few bolt on items to get her back looking new. Got a helluva deal. Worth the flight and the ride. Spent today getting it registered here in Ca. All is good! I plan to blog here about the entire experience. Been a busy past 3 days!
