I rode my motorbike from Dunedin to Auckland within 24 hours. Going up the middle of the North Island in the early hours of the morning in a rainstorm was terrible. Being half asleep and cold and wet on a motorbike is stupidity. I should??

Dallas Forth Worth Texas to Fort Lauderdale Florida, non stop about 23hrs from memory. 2 drivers, 1st guy my mate drove for the first 2 hours then I took over and finsihed the driving duties. That was after abit of a mission to get there in the first place, worked a normal day and went to airport, wellington closed due to fog, same on forceast for next day.Went home and to bed, having hired a car, next morning 8am drove to auckland to catch a 6pm flight to LA. Slept for about 1/2 the flight, 3 hour stop in LA before a 4 hour flight I think it was to Dallas, meet up with my mate who hadnt seen for about 7 years. Went out on the town as you do till 3am LOL got up at 9am, purchased a car at noon and started the drive direct to his place in Fort Lauderdale. On the road part of the trip only stopped for fuel, food and toilet stops, all done at the same time, and yeah non stop to Flordia. Cant remember the distance but know it was 23hrs on the road.

Perth to Surfers via Adelaide and Sydney in an HD Holden. It was 1978 and the 3 of us took turns partying, sleeping and driving. We left Perth on Wed evening and arrived in Surfers on the Sat, from memory it was over 5,000 Km.

Portland Oregon to Nashville Tennessee, took in 2900 miles with a detour to see the big man at Wendover and drive on the salt.
Dallas Fort Worth to Spokane Washington, 2400 miles at a mile a minute, so had another 40 hour working week fully committed.
Very useful the Mile marker posts, cruise set to pass each one at 60 seconds while the speedo reads higher and even the odometer error quickly being revealed.
So many options on the Interstate with no traffic lights unless you have exited.
Miami to Seattle would be one of the longest City to City trips in the USA.

Dunedin to Auckland in the middle of winter in a Humber Super Snipe.The roads were basically being closed right behind me due to snow starting with the Kilmog and finishing with the Desert Road.Wouldn't mind doing it again as I love driving but would be nice to have time to explore on the way next time instead of driving straight through.
