A good motorcycle loaded up for travel is one of the finer things in life

I always found high mileage on a motorcycle easier’n the same miles in a day in a car simply because the boredom threshold is so much higher on a bike. Drowsiness ain’t nearly as likely to hit either.

But past sixteen hours straight or so I would sometimes begin to hear the wind and engine noise cut out, just for a moment, at irregular intervals.

That was fatigue causing me to lose consciousness , just for a microsecond, I think the subsequent movement of the bars with my hands attached snapping me back awake. Pull over to rest for a bit and I’d be strung out and rattled from too many hours on the road.
