My brother (in pic) is a huge fan of long distance rides. This is at the conclusion of a 24 hour 1500 mile ride. Over the years he's got me hooked on BMW, now I just have to win the lottery so I can get one. He's planning a cross country ride this summer, from Idaho to here and back. Mentioned I could meet him somewhere mid-way and could trailer it here, he told me I was nuts.. If I see a BMW on a trailer or in the back of a pick-up it's probably been stolen.
I get updates from him all the time, and some of the rides they do are insane. 36 hour and 48 hour rides are fairly common. They are all organized, routes laid out, checkpoints you have to find and clear, and it sounds like a lot of fun. Can't imagine doing anything like it on a Harley or a "custom".
