Just a hint for comfort. Sprinkle some talcum powder in your undies. You don't want Monkey Butt to make the first long ride a pain in the rear.

The longest day that I did on the GZ was 675 km or 420 miles.
This was on a 45 mph National park road.
We did 1400 miles in 4 days.

That is a pretty long day in the saddle. Must have been dawn to dusk kind of day.
