Where can you ride 11,000 miles? The time would be 15.3 hours at a constant 65mph (cause a Sportster can't go too much faster lol).

I don't know... Detroit to LA to Miami to Detroit?

Super slab all day every day... what a way to ruin the opportunity to ride for 11 straight days.

I mean, it's an accomplishment, but nothing I'd ever want to do. Give me 11 days on mountain and rural roads over that anytime.

One of my customers does it every year. This years Iron Butt went from South Carolina to Seattle, WA. The kicker about these Iron Butt rides is that the all the participants have to start at the same location. So my customer who live down here had an 800 mile ride to the start point and a about a 3500 mile ride home for grand total of 15,300 miles which he did in a little over 2 weeks.

But did he do it on a sportster

I woul dthink after 3 or 4 days it would realy get tough. I have done a few 800 plus mile days and at the end of the day I am prety beat, not sure I would want to wake up and do it all over again.

Yeah, by day three I'd be looking for a Hotel with a well stocked bar.

I used to be a rock climber, long time ago. Never had any interest in doing Everest though. Not my idea of fun.

I guess everyone has their limit. I want to get an iron butt patch more or less just because I want to. I like distance riding but doing it all on the slab is not fun either, gotta stop and smell the roses once in a while.

I saw some pics from the utah 1081 and it looks like htere are soem great roads and phenominal views there so I would rather take that in than be about making time and logging miles. I would do that part hammering through iowa and mid america LOL

No, he does it on an old POS Triumph Trophy. But he did ride from Key West to Prudhoe Bay to Key West on a BMW GS650

Thats impressive, I think someone had the link for the guy who made it from alska to key west in 5 days and shattered the previous record. But he did it on an fjr that I am sure had some modifications to aid in distance riding.
