Earplugs! If you don’t use them, you should. I find the noise very tiring.

Tinted visor. Like the noise, squinting at the sun really wears me out.

I find it difficult to go distances, because I get bored. I take MANY MANY breaks, which really kills my progress. I don’t think I can ride more than about 90 minutes without wanting to pull over.

Here, I meant “cruising” like you’d do on a “cruiser” like one of the more ergonomically sound Harley’s or the king of cruisers (in my book) the Gold Wing (it aint gold for nothing). But I suppose a chopper is a “cruiser” too – although I don’t know why.

My definition of cruising is the act of riding short distances on uncomfortable, ergonomically inadequate motorcycles, as in “Let’s go cruising from that bar to that tavern.”

If you’re looking for long distance riding advice, my #1 tip would be to invest in a custom seat, preferably a true custom seat that’s specifically made to fit your rear end. The price is high, but the benefits are worth it.
