STOP PRESS. The Wolf Has Left The Country

[Boomer]

In recent years no, but I do 120 miles every day so currently adding 500+ miles per week.
Back when I didn't have to commute I regularly did weekend day rides of over 500 miles, mostly to Wales but also the West Country and once rode to Fort William on Sat and home (Essex) on Sun.
That was on my GTR1000 though which is way more comfy than the 1400.

Used to do 3 per week. 
Had a job as a motorcycle courier in the mid 80s and would do Brussels-Munich and back in a day.
10-12 hours in the saddle, mostly at around 120mph on the Autobahn.
I've done one 1000+ mile day on my GTR1000 and 600miles with a pillion.

What impresses me is that the wolf dared to ride a BMW that far. Now that is what I call risk taking!

What do you mean? The weather was lovely, 19.5 degrees was the warmest it reached while I sat on the lawn of a hotel overlooking Loch Long having a pub lunch. Couldn't have asked for better.
