Long Distance Motorcycle Riding
Long-distance riding is the pastime of riding motorcycles over long distances. While competitive forms of it consist in riding in defined times, with a popular target being to cover 1,000 miles in a day, non-competitive forms of it are more related to touring.
The basic goal of long distance riding is to explore time/distance/physical endurance while riding a motorcycle, sometime across multiple countries.
