That is impressive!......and daunting. 1183mi in one day. That is painful to think about!

I pulled a trip of just about 1100 miles ("Run for the Sun" - Long Island to Daytona Beach) ages ago on a chopper in 1 long ass day - I would NEVER try that again, especially at my age now - the bathroom stops alone would kill most of that time now

Kudos to your buddy!

i rode from pa to texas took me two full days almost non stop my ass was hurting 4 hours of sleep and alot of bad weather went through hail / up to 80 mph winds and talk about tornados. i just kept moving and glad i did but like i said it hurt took two days to recover i didnt figure what the mileage was but i was there three days and turned around and did it again lol im a glutton for punishment i guess just was glad to be home to hit the bed one of my longest straight runs almost non stop

I would like to do something like he did, but make it about a month.  That way you could spend a little more time in neat places...like some national parks for instance.  I've made a few longish runs in the last few years but nothing like this. ........ Rode to Galveston Texas, Grove Oklahoma, Perry, Missouri, Cherokee NC, Virginia and several Pa runs and such.  I just bought a cargo trailer for my bike...looking to do the West coast next year. 

I've never done a thousand mile day though, came close a couple weeks ago but got home before 1K........


Way home from Missouri.................Close but no cigar........

1100 miles in one day, whew. Never did that, my best so far is 662 from Tallahasse to Nacogdoches TX.

Ride for Sophie
I am proud to say, and might be bragging a bit, I did 12989 miles, all lower 48 (some more than once) in 38 days last summer on Rex. Mostly on my own with a few riders here and there. Lucky was one of the riders, as well as a gracious host -->>Laura too.
In doing this my family and I were able to raise $4200 in donations that was given to Make-A-Wish foundation.

A ride I will never forget and a Granddaughter that will always be with Grand-pop Mike when he rides.

Very cool, Rex !!

that's a helluva good month of riding and a great cause!

I do look froward to getting a touring set-up for the more comfortable longer runs...old age in some of them bones don't take the abuse they once did...

ok,1100 miles in 1 day,that's 24 hrs righ? ummmm,1100 into 24 i'm bad with math but that was going about 155 miles an hour right? you my new hero!

ok i just got back from west palm beach to atco new jersey ,1143 miles pulling a trailer with my truck 21 hrs.stright ave.speed was 70 ok so my math was off a little, i would have liked to do that ride with you,let me know when the next ride is

ok - well if you are talking about the Run for the Sun - last I heard they stopped the runs back in the mid-late 80's - we did it in the late 70's. and according to current mapquest: Total Travel Estimate: 17 hours 53 minutes / 1097.03 miles + gas, piss & beer stops (yes we took the beer to go - bad boy I know)

BTW - I don't think radar was around back then if I remember right and yea we rode them like we stole them

Jeez - I just got an age check on that one...now I feel old again
