It sounds like you'd ride a crotch rocket or a stunt bike then, most
definitely not a tourer. Any way, you are clearly doing something wrong,
because the most fun in motorcycling is definitely not taking breaks,
but eating miles.

I don't think the limited experience of a new rider who can only
concentrate long enough to handle brief stints on a motorcycle leads
to that conclusion. But if you need to believe those who 'eat miles'
do not enjoy the types of short rides you restrict yourself to...

Leads to the tale of how Dave Karlotski finds a wad of money in the
street, turns it over to the police (who cannot find the rightful
owner) and then ekes out the money travelling across country on a
ratty old commuter bike.
