For me, on a bike trip, I like to do ~1000 to 1500 km/day riding roughly 6:00 to 23:00, stopping for breakfast/supper and gas. Use a camel bak for water and snacks during the day. Obviously there isn't a lot of time for sitting. I can see the advantage of taking more time to sit, but it is a very personal decision.
The most painful bike trip I ever went on was with coworkers who liked to do <300 km/day.
lets have a look
Here are some links you will need.

Sheridan is about 1004 miles or 1615 km
Oh hell no! Someone would have been coming to get my ass with a trailerI accidentally almost did a bun burner 1500 a few years ago (I did 2300 km in 24 hours) trying to outrun a snow storm on the bike (loop around PEI in the morning, slab home from the confederation bridge starting at noon, home at 03:00). Never bothered documenting it though, I was only planning on doing a normal days ride. That was too long (and cold it was ~5 celsius).
I agree. No way!1000 Miles on this in a day?
No way.:violent2:
Oh hell no! Someone would have been coming to get my *** with a trailer
I agree. No way!
Piece of cake for the Burgman with a decent seat but man ...a LOT of fillups.
Kid could do it if he wanted ....I THINK I could do it ......depends on how my shoulder progresses down here.
Not helping that I don't have a throttle lock on.
Tell us...how fast is traffic across there....and how attentive are cops?
That Vespa owner tho deserves an additional medal. I think it would be fun to try at least....no harm.
Both bikes will cruise at 80 mph
That's 12 hours at 80...so figure 15 in real life
there are easily 15 hours of daylight in June.
Mac - if your boy has better seat and wind screen and risers - He won't have any trouble at all. You know me and that we are near same age. We did 2 days to Colorado - very easy - Then did a ton of riding out to San Diego. Now FJR with stock seat is like sitting on a brick after 400 or 500k. We did the Coast to Coast IBA run in 46 hours. Stopped every 100 miles as my butt was way to sore with that seat. Had solid 500 miles of rain - AZ - NM and part of Texas. If I can do it - he should be able to do the 1000 mile ride.
