Did it in one go. I think we took 19 hours, but it was a big group and we stopped a lot more than I wanted to. I did 1000 in about 14 or 15 by myself coming back from california, but I didn't document it.

I used to drive truck so, the long hours are nothing new to me. I just wish I still had my old Virago. That thing just ate up the miles. The KLR isn't quite as comfortable. Whenever I decide to do it, I'll be sure to post up!

I suggest using something other than the KLR so you can pass...

I did, but it was a combination of timing, skill, and a strong wind on my back while going down hill

And about a 100lb weight difference! My handlebar weighs as much as Derf!

You want a challenge?

Take your riding off the road...

And since you're into distance more than a faster lap, I would suggest Baja! It comes in 3 flavors(last I heard) 250mi, 500mi and the ultimate killer 1000 miles.

You'll be fine Trace plan on doing the boring parts at night, it's way more fun to imagine there is something exciting than to see that it's boring as shit
