Any tips for long journeys? I think we are going to Kelowna in July and I want to take the bike, so I have a month to "strengthen" up. We did about 5 hours of solid riding today, but that was in the city as well, not 5 straight on the highway.

My near-future plans are getting a proper riding jacket, hopefully some riding pants, and a tank bag. I think that'd make things a lot easier/more comfortable.
What kind of jacket are you looking for? I have a mint Joe Rocket jacket that has one season on it....size 42 or 44.....its a comfortable jacket and will do the job if you go down......I'll give it to you for a good price if you want as it has just been taking up room in my garage for the past couple of years
