I can drive incredible distances without stopping or talking.
Me too. I am safe about it (I basically start hallucinating and not seeing clearly if I'm driving too long), but I can drive quite far quite fast. Last summer I went from eastern NJ to CO Springs in 36 hours and 6+ of that was sleeping.

Drive: best so far is 26 hours with only stopping to fuel and piss.
Self medicate: no longer proud of the fact and no longer capable of such things but I've had four day no sleep benders and once blacked out 19 days in a row.
Ride
Hike
Work: once did 98 hours in a row wrenching on a machine in a GM plant. I can't focus on any desk related activities for more than 5 minutes but when doing real work time stands still.

I did a little over 300 miles on the motorcycle yesterday and my ass fell asleep. I stopped for gas/piss/cool beverage once about 100 into the ride. I think the total time spent was 5 hours, but I wasn't watching the time as much as the miles. All country roads with a few solid twisties.

I was on a road bike for 11 hours two weeks ago doing 110 miles through LA... that was pretty long. Three days later I spent 41 hours on the train riding from San Diego to Seattle. In college, there were many times when I spent up to 14 hours on projects. I've managed to spend 9 hours playing Halo as well. Most of the time, though, I really have a hard time focusing on anything for more than half an hour.

I went from Forest Grove south on Hwy 47 all the way to Rickreall, then cut over and met up in Salem. Then went back roads to Woodburn, wandered around going who knows where until we wound up back in Salem. Then I took a few lesser traveled roads back north home.

There are a lot of backwoods roads near me that wander between all these little towns along the Tillamook Forest (Oregon coastal range). There are also MILLIONS of atv/dirt trails in there as well.

I'm still feeling out the bike though. I need to work on my corners a bit more, but I did a lot of quick shift 0-90ish runs from a stop working on keeping the front wheel planted. With 138rwhp, power wheelies are easy even when you're not trying. I prefer to keep both wheels on the ground.

We are planning a road trip up the coast to the tip of the Washington peninsula, then take a boat across to Seattle and head up to a friends house in Bellingham. I need to break the seat in a bit more before that though.

I can drink beer all day and not get sloppy.

I can fish as long as you want.

I can play 36 holes of golf and still run around another nine if need be.

I can build dirt jumps for hours.

I can only jump them for a few.

I can function well on little to no sleep.

I can watch 10 episodes of the Surreal Life and still feel bad about myself.
