    That's pretty rad.


    Reminds me of the guy that went from San Diego to Florida riding a BMW without ever even coming to a stop... 2,232 miles without putting his foot down.... until....

    having the experience of going halfway across the country doing an IBA Bunburner Gold (1500 miles in < 24hrs) I can say he was looking at 85-90mph on his speedo. MY BBG from Newington, NH to Joplin, MO was 1546 miles and took 23:05 and I was looking at 79-80 mph nearly the whole distance

    And there's the level of dedication that I just don't have.

    Well that, and an appropriate motorcycle.

    Appropriate motorcycles are overrated! I did a 750 mile day on my supermoto.

    But yeah, these guys are all nuts. Supposedly this guy took a 75 minute nap 18 hours in.
