And my "How do" question is more on the riders side....how does a man feel, sitting on bike for 24 hours, doing a 2.000 mile ride ? With the GTS and normal traffic conditions you can do around 145 - 155 KM per hour on a highway. Germany has no speed limit, but trucks blocking all the lanes at the Autobahn slow you down.... 3200 KM / 150 = 21,3333 Means you have a riding time of 21 Hours and 40 minutes. You have to have a standard tank fill up every 270 KM, costs you about 7 minutes... 11,85 stops a 3200 KM ride...adds to 83 minutes. Plan to have "extended stops" every third "standard" stop... Add 7 extra minutes for every extended stop ....filling up oil at the GTS, filling up some water / fuel for the rider....go peeing.....comes to 20 extra minutes. Adds to 103 minutes for necessary stops. 1300 minutes for the ride 102 minutes for necessary stops _______________________________ 1402 minutes = 23 Hours 38 minutes Time left: 22 minutes. you can ride 55 KM in this 22 minutes.... on the other hand: if you drop down from 150 KM per hour to, lets say 147,7 per hour you need those extra minutes !!! Boy. No extra time left for a extra cigarette..... I couldn't do this for sure.

Let me see at 83.33m/h, which is above the speed limit, and no stops whatsoever one can do 2,000 miles in 24 hours. How do organizers get away with it? How do they keep the enforcement 'YOU SHALL" types from putting a stop to such event?
