It's a shame that one of the most interesting threads on the forum was deleted because the OP was raising money for a good cause, but I understand there are rules that need to be followed.

I have no connection with the ride, just enjoy following along. The first link is for his current position, the second shows the entire journey.

Best of luck to you Chris.

 

In before the lock

 

Not sure why it would be locked as there isn’t anything here about the fundraiser stuff. Damn impressive to do 100 iron butts in a row. Looking at the map at first I thought it was just an interstate map and realized that was his route 😳

if I were a dealer I would trade a new or near new bike from inventory just to put that one on display. Surprised if Jay Leno doesn’t put this in one of his YouTube spots when it’s over.

 

Anyone know when the hundred days are over?

 

If it started when he first posted, it’s probably got at least another 90 days or so. That said, I see from the map that he either came through VT or is headed here but I imagine he would have already come through as the weather turns quick here, so maybe it’s been going on longer than 10 days.

 

In the thread that was deleted, I think he said he was on day 84 on 10/ 20, and was around 500 miles behind schedule. I don't want to post a link to the original article, or it might be deleted again.

 

He started on July 27, 100 days would be November 4.

 

Here is the original post Chris made that gives more info, with all mention of fund raising removed. Hopefully this will be allowed.


"If you haven't seen yet, I'm currently in the middle of riding 100,000 miles in 100 days. EPIC journey! I'm not just blasting up and down the freeways, either. I've made HUNDREDS of stops to various sites and riding some amazing roads. Live tracker available as well. You can follow along on my FB page I have some videos up and post updates along the way. Truly a once in a lifetime journey. Over half way there now and I'm currently on day 84. Picked up a new 2021 Road Glide mid July and rolled out 7/27 with starting miles at 908. Currently right at 84K miles. This is a ride like no other and has never been attempted. The current record was 46,000 miles in 46 days and I rode with the guy (Matt Wise) on my day 46 as I passed it up.

Follow along and enjoy the adventure, still some epic stuff to come!!! I've ridden roads nobody would ever attempt on a ride like this. Even hitting 30 covered bridges in IN through all dirt and gravel roads.

I have been told Harley doesn't want anything to do with supporting long distance riding as they feel it's unsafe. My bike will LITERALLY be running for 4 months straight more than it's turned off. That would make an amazing commercial I would think, but I guess they see things differently.

Other things he mentioned in the original thread were oil changes every 10,000 miles, and he is on his fifth set of tires.

 

Being one myself, It's my understanding he is a Hoka Hey rider. If so, I believe he has the *****/stamina to complete this thing. Especially if he is doing a lot of it on interstate highways.
EDIT. I Just looked at the US Fleet tracking link and he is indeed a Hoka Hey rider. Looking at the spotwalla link, unless I missed something, it shows what I assume to be a cumulative mileage at the top of the screen showing in excess of 113,000 miles and it does appear that he has been using freeways quite a bit.

 

Chris did complete the Hoka Hey last year and the Iron Butt Rally this year. His progress today is around day 84/85 currently for his 100 day challenge.

Technically, he doesn't need to do 100 1,000 mile days. He could do a 900 mile day followed by an 1,100 mile day and still be on track. That said, he needs to (and has) keep very close to the 1K a day pace. If you read some of his personal accounts on FB or other pages, you know that he has pulled a few big mile days, but these are not as difficult when you're in the open country out west of the Mississippi.

He is running an aux tank plumbed into the main tank, so his fuel load is likely around 11 gallons.

Good luck Chris! Keep gettin' it done!
