    Unreal... 100% non-stop from CA to FL on a motorcycle

    Didn't stop ONCE!!! Not even for a moment! (until he was pulled over, just 120 miles from the atlantic ocean.)

    BMW Motorcycles: : News: BMW biker is the first to ride non-stop from California to Florida

    Haha, so he's less of a man because he didn't do it on an RC51? And you call that stupid? Gimme a break, dude.

    That ride took serious balls.

    That was a pretty cool story. Of course if it was on a Harley he would have had to make stops to get his poker cards.

    i think thats amazing. I would have had to fill that camelbak with redbull. That is legit. Let no one make fun of this accomplishment until he has ridden even a 600 mile day. It takes its toll. 2250 is just amazing. Id buy that guy a beer.

    Unsafe or not, I don't see anything that gives ANY of us the right to look down upon & criticize this guy.

    That must've been one soggy diaper...eeesh! Probably had to set fire to his genitals to kill that rash.

    "luxury touring". Met a county chic that wore a bladder bag while directing traffic for the snowcross in ossipee. Jokes aside. Thats damn tough! Both of them I guess?

    I give propers to this guy.

    Safety concerns aside, staying awake for 35hrs is tough in itself (ask me how I know). Doing 35hrs flat out on a bike is simply amazing.

    Since when does anyone need a "right" to criticize and "look down upon" anyway?

    Sounds more like an opinion, one you don't happen to like, so does that give YOU the "right" to go off on him because of his opinion????

    If you read the article it goes on to explain that he was watching the Weather Channel for weeks until he saw a break in the cloud cover between CA and FL. That's when he set off on his journey.......sheesh!
