No mileage record breaker here, I did 300 miles last Saturday on my Buell 1125R. I definitely choose the wrong bike to ride that day.

Iron butt gold 1506miles in 23hr 34min, what a ride.

I have no plans on ever going 1K miles in a day.  I ride for fun and that does not sound like fun to me.  500 to 600 is the most I will ride before stopping for the night.  I don't need to prove, even to myself, that I can sit on a bike for 24 hours.  Good for you though, if you really enjoy that kind of riding.

I've ridden over 1k 2 different times.  One tip I can share is that you have to do 90-95mph to keep up with a cager that is doing about 70-75mph.  The extra stops on the bike are necessary but it sure does slow ya down!

I have done  1000+ mile days but our troup leader Dave visiting from Australia makes my rides look like a ride around the block.
He is about half an hour off completing a ride from Seaside near Portland to Charlston SC in approx 48 hours, i think thats over 4500 miles (unbeleivable but correct) He is on a Kawasaki. A huge ride no matter what you are riding

 How many traffic tickets?

That log looks to me like a 30 day log.  4500 miles in 50 hours is an average of 90 mph.  No way is someone going to do that.  1 cops stop will ruin your average, and you'd have to be doing over 100mph to make up for gas stops.

I did correct my mistake 2984 miles that an average of about 60.

Been years, but went from the Midland-Odessa airport west of Dallas to Baltimore in under 24 hrs.  Someplace about 1700 miles.  Much less traffic and it wasn't a Harley.  You could get out in the less populated areas and run pretty good.  Of course, 125hp and 600# made it fun!
