Do you think it is achievable to do this distance non stop in 24hrs? I would spend a few days having a look at Riga, then spend a couple of days getting back.
Has anyone any experience of endurance riding on here? Interested in hearing about long distances covered in a short amount of time.

Last september I came back from the German bike raly in Hamm to western France in one go (1200Km). Leaving after breakfast there and stopping only for fuel/food and comfort stops. It was ok, but the following day I developed backache which got bad and really took best part of two months to completely heal, first back pain I have had since 1971. Whilst it can be a challenge i dislike as a matter of principal anyone 'stretching their limits' on a public road.
Why not ride around in circles and see if you can beat the 24hours 2400+ mile record Velocette set in 1961 on a 500cc Venom?
