24 days. 8,000 miles. 21 states and 4 Canadian provinces.

I rode from Oklahoma City to Key West, Florida, then rode up the Eastern seaboard into Canada, over to Cape Breton on the far east end of Nova Scotia, and then back over Maine through Quebec and Ontario to Chicago, and home.

I take at least 2 weeks off every July for a trip. I've been ALL over on the Busa. 46 states, 6 Provinces, and counting.

83 hours, 2736 miles. Coastal SC to LA, via a screwed-up southern route.
5 days, 2796 miles coming back on a central route at a more relaxed pace.

The longest day has been about 480 miles mostly on back lane twisty type roads. Having done that, I am not sure that I see the appeal about doing 1000 in 24. I have no doubt that the FJR would be glad to take me there, but my body would be so cranky afterwards it wouldn't even begin to be funny.
