No, it's not a problem.
The reason why I'm suddenly saying that is because I've started to think about the touring course for GW. It's probably about 2,000km in 4 days and 3 nights...... When I was thinking about it, I thought, "This has a touring feel to it...... Of course, distance is not everything."Traveling by motorcycle = Touring"It's just a personal thing, though.
It depends on the type of car, engine displacement, lifestyle, etc., but this is how I personally feel about it.
Touring Requirements
Distance and Time
I felt like I was taking a stroll up to around 200km, so I felt like I was touring from over 300km. What I thought the most was thatRent an XSR900The time when I overslept and only managed to run about 200km, despite the fact that I had been doing it for a long time. Even though it was my first time to run in the area and it was quite scenic."lack of ability to ride"I had no sense of touring......
Even on weekends, when I have some time off from work, I don't ride my bike because I think I can only ride for 3 to 4 hours....... That's right. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.....
Location
Mountains, ocean, and so on. If you don't see a good view, you don't feel like touring. Well, I think it's the same for many people. When you go out on a motorcycle to a work meeting and suddenly the appointment is canceled, you may try to wander around unknown places in Tokyo for half a day, but that is not touring!.....
personal experience
Even if you've been to a lot of destinations, you need to find one place on your route that is new to you. For example, in this season, "I'm going to Izu, is there any place that's new to me? I'm going to Izu, but I don't know if there's a place I've never been before.
You can also eat the local food.
In addition to ↑. Conditions for Long Touring
Distance and Time
If your daily mileage is more than about 500km, you will feel long. There is a person I know who runs 800km in a day from early morning to late at night, mainly on the way down, but I don't go that far.
But even if you go the distance, driving only on the highway certainly does not give the feeling of long touring. This too.I took a rental Hayabusa to the Venus Line.At the time, I drove about 500km, but I remember that 300km of that was at high speed, and it wasn't enough.
No, when I was a falcon, I couldn't get used to the repositioning and my back went out, so I guess I was stressed about not being able to ride the distance.
But even if I use the highway to get there, I'd still like to drive 300km down the road.
Location
I have a smartphone navigation system, so I'm less likely to get lost."Run in an area where you are not familiar with the land"This is also a requirement for long touring. I don't know any of the place names on the blue sign .... A place like that.
So I don't really feel like I'm going long even though I can run a long distance around the Izu Peninsula or the Shiga-Kusatsu-Kogen route, which I'm used to. However, if you deviate from the route and include an area where you are running for the first time, you will instantly feel more satisfied and have a sense of long distance.......
personal experience
This is already a local meal. I like to eat a lot, so when I get hungry on the road"What are some of the specialties around here?"If I know where I'm going, I'll check out the local food on the food log the night before.
When you're an old man."What to eat for the first time"It's a very special event to meet them.
I've been thinking about my route for GW.
So I'm looking at the GW route and looking for interesting stopping points. By the way, here is the course for the first day.
I've already booked a cheap business hotel for three nights, so I'm just fleshing out the course. This is my first touring north of Fukushima, but so farTsugaru-Iwaki SkylineI don't have any concrete plans other than to run the Hachimantai Aspite Line.....
So, if I simply connect the first day's lodging with the second day's lodging, it looks like this.
It's too close for me to go straight to this place, so I might as well go around Cape Longhi via the Ryudomari line.
Let's go to the inn for the third day.
I haven't checked the information around the route yet, but I might want to see the rias coast, so I guess I'll go around the ocean......
On the last day, I was returning home from Fukushima, so this is the route I have taken several times. The route is completely different depending on whether you want to take the standard Bandai-Azuma Skyline - Bandai-Azuma Lake Line - Bandai-san Gold Line, or if you want to skip it and take your first time roots.
