REALLY old post, but...
780 in 2014 from Virginia to AL. 2010 FLHP
850 in 2015 from NE to AL. 2010 FLHP
964 in 2019 from Sioux City to AL because she wanted to out-ride the previous passenger. Didn't hit 1,000 because we got home. 2010 FLHP
1030 this past June from CT to AL. Decided one Wednesday morning I might ride to Laconia - if I got my bike service done. Finished by lunch and rode up there for the weekend. Got back that Monday night. 2018 FLHP
Before any of that, it was 600-700 mile rides multiple times on a 2006 Wide Glide. It was my highway bike until I got my first police bike.

I think this thread may have been resurrected because of all the interest in the "1,000 miles in 100 Days thread" ???

I'll play. Probably the 788 miles from Quebec to MD on a Honda V45 Sabre in 1993. Part of that included riding one-handed in order to squeeze with the other an ignitor box hanging from under the seat, to keep the rear jug firing. Probably went through half a dozen of those boxes over the life of the bike.

By the way, did my 1,068 miles (Baltimore to Florida) for my saddlesore 1,000 in 2019 at age 72. Did the same ride last year; did not apply for saddlesore.
Rode down last week, did 725 miles in one day and stayed over for the night. Wasn't tired, just did not feel like riding at night.
