I said good headphones.

I guess Koss is a subjective thing. They hurt my ears. My Etymotics are gold. They're also $80. This is one of those cases where you do get what you pay for.

You can knock out a few miles

A couple of years ago, I took 25 days off work and took off on my Busa. I went from Oklahoma City to Key West to the eastern end of Nova Scotia to Chicago and back to Oklahoma City. I logged a little over 8,000 miles.

It was a good trip! I do a summer trip of at least 2 weeks every year, but that one is my longest to date.

Watch out with the energy drinks, they work great for a while, but the let down at the end is worse than anything else. If you get to the point where you think you need one then stop and take a nap. i use a screamin meanie, set it for 20 minutes and ride away. i guarantee that you won't sleep through the alarm.

Listen to Tracy, get something else. The Koss are excellent for short to medium trips. They hurt like hell after any kinda long distance. They push pretty awful against your ears, and after 8 hours, it feels like torture having them uncomfortable bastards in, especially with the helmet resting against them. Spend the cash on a good set of headphones that are small and still have excellent sound. It'll make a huge difference at the 7 or 8 hour mark. I replaced mine with some smaller Sony earbuds that sealed off better than the Koss and didn't have any parts that could rest or be pressed against the ears.

My cheapo skull candy ear buds work great all day. You just need to take them out every so often to air out your ears. LOL

did an iron, it is all about breaking it down to smaller sections and not thinking about it as one huge trip

For $80 I would rather spend a little more and get custom molded ear plugs that NASCAR drivers use for their team radio.
