It'll be long and take some of the fun out of it but like others said, definitely doable.
My biggest concern is taking the gun to DC. Laws there are extremely strict. Federal law allows you to transport your gun through any state as long as it is unloaded and locked up and that it is legal where you start and your final destination. i.e. you can transport evil assault rifles through New york as long as thats not your destination.
Handgunlaw.us is a great site for looking up local laws and regulations.

You will have a blast.
12 hours is a good estimate.
Once you get on the bike, dont stop except for gas. You can't ride fast enough to make up for time spent eating and goofing off.
Get a fullface helmet. Modular if you can. Look online or at CycleGear for a good price.
I have a CCW, but don't carry on a bike. Carrying a gun on a bike is a pain. If you are going through Illinois (among other states) you may have issues. If you are planning on ever stopping in a bar you may have issues. You have to either carry it in the bar, or choose to leave it on the bike.
And AGE has NOTHING to do with the distance a person can cover. Most of the IBA cert holders are older and most of the premier riders are old enough to be this guy's dad.

Kidney belt is a great idea...probably just use a thumb lock for the cruise.

Kinda, but there's a place I can crash overnight for free. I think it adds about 80 miles each day to the total trip.

sounds like a great trip, just don't forget you have to go back too right? or is this a one way deal? va has decent gun laws, lived in springfield (northern VA) for 30 years...I'm pretty sure a loaded pistol in a backpack while riding is considered concealed carry (permit required)....might want to get a fork bag or a lower frame down tube bag to hold the mag. you can always call them and ask directly just to be sure what they consider concealed or open carry while on a motorcycle ride through Va. Be safe!
