Personal longest and don't want to do again?
One trip from Ft. Sill to Orlando and another from Dayton to San Antonio. Both something like 1300 miles in one run, done 20 years apart. Never again...too old for that anymore. I'm happiest now with 500 mile days.

It was Fred Hamm. He did it on a knucklehead. 1825 miles in 24 hours. It was on www.AmericanRider.com. I found that interesting. It said he averaged 78 mph. Pretty impressive.

Sounds like that particular record was set on a closed course (dry lake bed). Impressive. I am trying to find a 24 hr record for miles traveled on public highways.

RE: The real Iron Butt test.
I've seen some 1700 mile days I believe when keeping track of the Iron Butt Rallys. You can check out the day by day summaryies online for each year. Its a long read but well worth it,
