Mini Iron Butt on a Monster? Would that be 100 miles?
One of the first things I had to change on my M1100 Evo was the seat, I couldn't even do 120 miles without getting seriously uncomfortable :'( . Maybe the seats on the 796's are softer or maybe you're just younger and can tolerate more
Your bike looks great though
Heya, we rode a grand total of 234 miles. Not gonna lie, it hurt, it hurt a lot... My ass was numb for a lot of the ride and my throttle wrist got numb constantly. TBH though, for me the ride and the adventure and the fact you get to see parts of your home area you don't usually see and discover outweighs any physical pain while riding. My buddy's Vmax was having front caliper issues so I lent him one of my other bikes, V-star 1100. I don't usually lend my bikes but he's a very experienced rider and a friend of mine for the past 16 years. It was a hell of an adventure.... I didn't take many 'cause we stopped very few times, mostly to rest a bit, gas and food but here's what i took:
This was our first stop. It's called Monumento al Jibaro. It's up in the mountains between Cayey and Cidra. It's a beautiful place. With bikes, up, with no bikes, down.
This is in-front of the old petrochemical station which closed down in the 70's and still standing... With bikes, up. No bikes, down.
In Mayaguez on the west side of the island, we stopped for gas and refreshments. Right behind the gas station we found this nifty little place called The Fruittery. It was very cool and they made all kinds of stuff from fresh fruit. Frappes, fruit and nut salads with honey, they even made fresh fruit Tacos. Best Berry Frappe I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy!
I't a little hard to see but far back behind the bike is the new Parque Aeolico. It's a huge piece of land with about about 120, 100 feet tall wind powered generators. It's still not working but when it starts it'll generate enough electrical power for around 1 million homes around the area.
Last toll before heading into some nice curvaceous mountain area! Woo Hoo!! As we were entering the mountains the sun started setting... It was insanely beautiful!
What a way to end the ride.... After hours upon hours of hard riding, we ended our journey at Heineken Jazz Fest in Ventana del Mar in Condado....
Hope you liked!!!!!
