I've yet to do a certified iron butt ride. I've done 1,500 straight through multiple times from Ohio to a relative in colorado. And many 1,000 mile days.
Mostly on a k1200. That k16 will do the job.
Safe travels!
-Jake , I would set the odometer (back when they were mechanical) on 000 before I set out. Somewhere late that night that night the final 999 on the odometer rolled over to 000 again it was time to quit for the day. But 1500 miles In a single ride? I couldn’t even begin to touch that. There’s always a bigger fish. At 16 years old I did it on a 600 Honda Shadow. In 29 hours. I can't imagine doing such a thing now. But I didn't know any better at the time. Lots of gold Bond powder. -Jake

-Jake A good motorcycle loaded up for travel is one of the finer things in life  I always found high mileage on a motorcycle easier’n the same miles in a day in a car simply because the boredom threshold is so much higher on a bike. Drowsiness ain’t nearly as likely to hit either. But past sixteen hours straight or so I would sometimes begin to hear the wind and engine noise cut out, just for a moment, at irregular intervals. That was fatigue causing me to lose consciousness , just for a microsecond, I think the subsequent movement of the bars with my hands attached snapping me back awake. Pull over to rest for a bit and I’d be strung out and rattled from too many hours on the road.

I have an 03' K1200LT, it has reverse. Wonderful bike . Wife and I crossed paths with a pair of German BMW engineers a few years back hauling a huge trailer full of pre production/introduction bikes. Spent two very interesting days with them riding the K1200LT which they graciously let me enjoy. They were riding a pair of blacked out super secret cop bikes destined for the European market.VERY COOL bikes

The cruise control doesn't work (hasn't since I bought it) though and I get a pinched nerve in my neck when I ride anymore. I have the bike for sale right now, thinking of going back to a Goldwing.

Safe travels! That's a long ride. Rode from DFW to Colo. Springs. Took a stumble while there and rode home with a broken foot (in a cast). Memorable journey.

Hmmm...no word for 12 hours. Hope he is safe. My fear is he's been raped by a gang of lesbian moped riders. Heaven forbid.

Picked up a nail somewhere along the way.
Bought a tire. But they wouldn’t install it.
Other dealership would but they were 40 minutes out. Stopped at a private shop with fingers crossed and they said they’d install “no problem.”
Then they told me they’d plug tires on bikes and to return the other. I said there’s no way they’d take it back.
But they did.
Anyway, this day is fugked. Time for skis.
There’s worse places to be stuck.

Coulda sucked worse with tube tires, depending..
This trip can still be salvaged. Merely reverse your course back to last night’s Empty Arms Motel, put in a 1,000 tomorrow.
