I did it on a Harley, 11,108 miles total. Wouldn't mind doing it on the Spyder. You get to see a lot of the country but only passing by.

I agree it would be fun to do and see so much of the country but I am totally uninterested in any bling or certification that I did it because I refuse to be held to a time constraint that would prevent me from seeing everything in the detail I wanted to experience.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

I meant, why ride the 4 corners by someone's rules? I don't get it.

Maybe it is designed to bring discipline and the ability to follow rules to the HD crowd? If it is a test of HD cycles, my friend's failed at the first attempt, as he stated in Washington on his new HD, down to California and his motor burnt down in Texas. Dealer send motor back to factory and he flew home. The motor came back and they shipped the bike back to Seattle. The following year he complete the ride. Knucklehead HD comes to mind!

My four corners is slightly longer. Shanghai to Lisbon, down to Gibraltar then to Nordkapp. Worked out a route and all the visa requirements but that's as far as its got at the moment.

I kind of know where your coming from. I do iron butt events and I may get the badges etc for the actual event but I've never bothered registering what I've done with the iron butt association for official accreditation - I know I've done them so why do I need to do a load of paperwork to get a certificate saying I did it.
So if I did this I would do it in under 21 days as that's the target (In fact I'd probably half that). I'd enjoy all the planning and riding. But I wouldn't bother with the registering or sending receipts etc. I don't need the pin, hat certificate etc - just the memories and experiences will be fine.

That was my point exactly.

A fellow Spyder ryder up here in Maine did the 48 States and iron butt and the 4 corners all in one trip back in 2018 on his 2011 RTS SM5. He told me he was glad he carried 2 extra gallons of gas. He only had to use his back up supply once. Some day I would like to do the 4 corners and all 48 States on my own time. Bruce
