My wife rode her Sportster cross country twice, first trip was about 9,000 miles in six weeks, second trip was 12,000 miles in 8 weeks. Go for it!

Looks like you got all the support you need from this group, but I'll add mine. You're not crazy. If you have the opportunity and don't take it, THAT would be crazy! Stay safe.
