I've ridden to Sturgis a couple times, my gl1000 had some issues last year and I didn't get out much. My 750's are not really long distance runners, a sandcast under 10,000 miles and a big bore diecast that should be a long distance runner but I haven't spent the time to get it running 100%. I don't have any riding buddies any more, most are Harley snobs or too old to make the trip.
Edit; I did finally get the diecast's engine squared away, it was a leaky float valve in the #1 carb that kept fouling it's spark plug. I since got a gold K0 and a K1 Hot rod bike. The Goldwing is my go to long ride bike though.
