@JoeRess Six, and probably no cushion for rest days because I wouldn't have room for all that food.

@JoeRess It'll be good training for the trip AFTER that: the John Muir Trail, which is 211 miles (340 km) 😳

@killyourfm how do you do that in terms of food and supplies? Multi person situation?

@JoeRess I hike solo, so I essentially carry my entire life in my 65L pack: food, sleeping bag + pad + pillow, cooking system + fuel, any extra clothes, tent, toiletries, water filtration, battery pack, phone, knife, coffee mug, camp sandals, crampons (in case of snow), etc. It's a lot 🤣

@killyourfm @JoeRess I've been getting better and better at packing the various storage options (under seat, luggage box, my backpack) on my motorcycle. It feels like unloading a clown car when I get home with a couple hundred bucks worth of groceries! 😅

@jimsalter @JoeRess Do you ever do any extended road touring on that bad boy? I bet that would make for some excellent adventuring.

@killyourfm @JoeRess not on this one--i only get 90-ish miles to a charge, and that's assuming fairly steady speeds at 50mph or less. (It's more like 70 miles if there's much in the way of highway speeds, or if I keep pinning the throttle just for funsies. Which I tend to do.)A lot of my fun is late night dead quiet rides, doing urban exploration.

@killyourfm @JoeRess guilty as charged! But "scooter" in the sense of an electric version of a Burgman, not an electric skateboard (or even an electric Ruckus).
