I hate when guys buy these dressers and then don't put miles on them. Our HOG support club has a major run coming up the first week of July, if it's not below 70 degrees or higher than 81. Members who complete this run in one day are eligible for our jelly butt patch. I'm hoping we can finish with just one or two rest stops, because man, neutral is a bitch to find. Attached below is our route. I am hoping we are not biting off too much, as we have members trailering to the starting point from as far as 35 miles away. Luckily there is a Ramada Inn nearby.

Interstate riding has got to be the most boring mind numbing thing you could do on a motorcycle. However, after having just completed an Iron Butt on my sporty, I understand the need for those that do a lot of interstate riding, for huge bikes with recliners for seats and fairings and windshields the size of barn doors. Ill never do it again, Ill stick to 200-300 mile days in the back roads of the country where I actually use the controls of my bike and actually see things and talk to people

crex39...HOG has a support club? i was looking at the map you posted-there is a dairy queen and a duncan donuts on the way to the buffet. will those be check points? how many chase vehicles do you plan on having? does the buffet take american express? where is the nearest dealer in case someone needs a pin or patch? trips like that require a lot of planning and attention to detail...a pre-ride might be a good idea for your members that have an extra day to help out.

For local rides I like 120 to 180 mile runs. On trips I go 800 to 1,000 routinely. I'm on the downhill slide to 74. Maybe when I get old I will have to cut down on the miles.
Last year I did the 861 miles to Sturgis in one day and back also on my Sportster just for the fun of it. I do have 5 touring machines in the garage. Whoops 6 must be getting old. I forgot the 14 Road King that I added last fall.
