Has any noticed every time someone talks about going from one place to
another it instantly becomes a pissing contest about who can do the most k's
in a day?
I'm sure that someone cruising a Goldwing up the freeway can do a lot more
than a sportsbike taking the twisties, but I know what would be more fun
(except a Fizzer up the Putty, but thats a different story). YMMV.
Fuck I miss the Fizzer. Been 2 weeks and Swan still haven't decided what
they're going to do with it (please no pissing contests about who's waited
longest for an insurance claim!)

A bit over 1100, Toowoomba -> SW Sydney.

5 months, when I ran my Fireblade into a deer.

I did 1200km in a day on a sportsbike...
My first stop for the day was at the halfway house on the Putty 
(was that the sort of response you were fishing for?)

I had to wait 6 weeks for the payout after the GPX was stolen.

I had to wait three months to pick up my Triumph Sprint and then I had to
wait about 6 months again after I trowelled it 8 days later and then
later-on-still I rode it about 1800km (Mornington to Brisbane) in a single
stint!!
So fucking there!!

Yep he would have slept well that night and had a very sore arse the next
morning.
Surprised I haven't had some Beemer rider gloat about doing Melbourne to
Darwin before breakfast, maybe I just need to wait a bit. lol

first CBR was written off.

I went from melbourne through Swan Hill, Up through sydney, though
newcastle and up to Port Maquarie and back again on my CBR 250 RR. Did it
in 4 days and boy was it a testing time. My knees have been clicking ever
since. The bikes not designed for someone 6'1. Had a 20 kg back pack plus
my 80 kg weight on the suspension, by the time I got back it was stuffed.
The boot of the bike had collaps onto the rear wheel. NSWs has some pretty
stuffed roads with big Pot holes.
All I can say is I had fun but never again, I'm taking a trailer next time
and problably starting to ride after Sydney

If you had a fuel tank as big as that on the XJ you could take all the
interesting looking detours off the Newell Hwy
