1000miles in 24 hrs but it gets a little more complecated then that...you can't leave the bike more than a few mins and need to get peeps to sign this sheet with phone numbers so that they can validate your receits and claim

They also confirm the mileage via mapping programs, so try to get a gas reciept near any major road changes. Also ride more than 1000 miles, to insure that you get credit. There may be a discrepency between your calcs and theirs, and their calculations are the OFFICIAL ones.
If you just want the cert, there are usually several "official" ss1000 staged across the country each year, leave a location proceed to point B, then C, then D and return to point A. with mandatory check ins along the route (at major route changes)

From what I hear there is a big backlog because they DO check. Seems pretty well regulated from what I see. Me and some members of the CVMA will be doing one in June. I've ridden 1000 in a day but that was before the Iron Butt started. I was a lot younger then so this ought to be a test.

I've made the 892 miles from home to Daytona in less than 15 hrs several times, 19 hrs on the worse trip (with food stops). Even at 19 hrs, that would have left me 5 hrs to pack in the extra 108 miles needed for the Iron Butt.
