Just curious to see who rode the most miles in one day.

The most miles I rode in 1 day was last summer: Left Key West, FL at 6:00am. Rode through the everglades and up rt 75. Took a 2 hr nap in Tampa. Settled for the night at a Walmart parking lot in Cordele, GA at 1:30am. Traveled 785 mi. Overall, my entire body was a bit sore, but not as bad as one would think. I credit that ride to my corbin seat, thumb cruise control, custom bar risers, an ipod with 4000 songs, and to my Pirrelli Strata tires. Was a crazy day, but would do it again in a heartbeat!

Ride on!

 

1008 miles by GPS. Went around lake michigan with some additional miles to close out the iron butt ride. Second most, 900.

 

Sure I'm not setting any records but my best is probably back in college-just under 800 in 24 hrs on a Harley fatboy. It was a rental and the guy almost fell over when he looked at the odometer when I returned it.

 

820miles, from Idaho Falls, ID to Prescott AZ. We did 4,500 miles in 10 days... yes, on the VTR.

 

The 1008 was in 20 hours, the 900 was in 13hours. Guess which one sucked more? Wrong, the 1008. It was cold, with a low of 28 and high of 45F.

 

That is awesome. he was probably expecting to see 150 miles max.

 

That is awesome. I hope you still have it stock riding position, that will make a man out of a boy.

 

Most miles I've ridden in 24 hrs. was 1300 on a Norton 750 Commando.

Rode a Yamaha TX-500 1000-1200 miles straight on four separate occasions.

Most I've ever put on my VTR is about 450 in a day. That was enough. I'm not a kid anymore.

 

Oh Baby! That is ridiculous. Where were you headed, RK1?

 

Haha for real, after a few hours I used to be ready for a break, that's really impressive.

 

Yeah I told him "what? you said unlimited mileage!" Did some huge smoking burnouts for dessert right before I brought it back too Have some old pics somewhere-I think I've posted 'em here before.

 

That's awesome guys, you all have ridden some serious miles

 

There was a lot of slow and go on that trip (PCH) which was much more painful than the last day run (820). When you've got the wind blast at 75-80 it really makes forward riding postition a lot more comfortable. Plus, I cheated... Helibars, Sargent seat, Throttlemiesters, Zero Gravity DB. Also, I refused have anything on my back, i.e. back pack, hydration pack. I put the hydration pack in my tank bag as it's an essential to have on any long summer trip, dehydration sucks.

 

I am running all stock riding position, only have a throttle lock. As for the long day, I only had a tank bag. Ran with my legs on the passenger pegs, ala Doggy Style. Works well. The "shorter" day was with a full pack (saddles, full tail, sleeping bag, tent, tank bag, gps). There was only one position, luckily speed limits were high, so very little wear and tear.

 

That's way funny $hit, major props for that

Back in "the day" I ran afew 24hr rallys. Highest mileage was just under 1400. Most of the miles were 2 lane twisties (about 80%).

best freeway run (70% freeway) was 994mi in 16hrs, lunch and dinner included Thought about riding around a little to hit the 1k mark, but it was raining and the hotel bar and hot tub were calling.

I know alot of folks who have "Iron Butt" certificates, but most do them on the longggg straight desert roads out here and in Nevada. Really boring
