F3 Saddlesore 1000
Left Tuesday evening 6:30Pm on my F3 accompanied by RT Spyder Owner Doug Chasick. We rode straight through the night and completed 1065 miles in 16.25 hours with average speed of 65.54 mph, qualifying for the Saddlesore 1000 certificate from the Iron Butt Association (1000 miles in 24 hrs). We pushed this hard since we were rehearsing for our Bun Burner Gold ride which is 1500 miles in 24 hrs. I have the Madstad windshield, driver backrest and stock seat (used a air hawk for 170miles and then decided stock seat was more comfortable.) I have completely assured myself that the F3 is good for long distances and we plan to ride the SS2000 (2000 miles in 48 hours) on Sept 2/3 before we do the Bun Burner Gold The F3S is much more comfortable for long distance ryding than I ever imagined when I purchased it.

I will do the Jacksonville to San Diego 50CC early next year but all the gravel roads I see in the pictures from the Alaska trip kind of turn me off on that corner to corner route.

Doing my SS1000 on the 17th with my F3S SM6 with Madstad, back rests, saddlebags, floorboards, and IPhone 6plus mounted for tunes and GPS. First timer but confident in my comfort and group I'm riding with as the only Spyder.

711
my best personal day is 711 miles, and that was on my F3-S....
a total of 6054 miles in 20 days X-country with a sheepskin on the OEM seat, and i had ZERO issues with the butt or anything else for that matter....
best wishes on your journeys... i'd love to join in, but i found that 711 to be a bit much for me...

Glad to hear some doing higher mileage trips on the F3. If you can do that on a stock seat, then it assures me It'd be even better with a Corbin.. which is a must have for me.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Rant done. Back to your regularly scheduled program......
You do realize that during the '24 hour' ones that most stop and sleep overnight for 8 hours don't you? Ride 8. Sleep 8. Ride 8. That means only 500 miles per 8 hour day of riding... which is nothing.

Well, if that is the case, then you have to ride 62.5mph for 8 hrs straight. Which is impossible to do because of traffic and cities that the interstates go through. When do you stop for gas and when do you eat? Math does not add up. At most they are getting 4-5 hours sleep in 24 hours, or they are driving right through which makes you impaired.
Anyways, you would get to see nothing because you would have to ride interstates only.

Well
The original poster said they averaged 64mph, so it can be done. You just have to plan the time you are in the cities!

Where did you get that information? That is entirely untrue.
On the saddlesore 1000 you simply have to ride 1,000 miles or more within 24 hours. You have to get gas receipts at the required checkpoints to prove you were there, but there is no requirement to stop for any period of time. I did mine in 17 hours, with only stops for fuel.

What do you mean 'it's untrue'.???? You certainly CAN stop and sleep during any of the Iron Butt rides and many do. The other poster assumed it was being done in some dangerous way.... But it simply does NOT have to be done as 1,000 miles without a sleep break. As long as its within 34 hours and you properly log it all (receipts, etc.) then you should be fine.

Of course you CAN stop if you want. But it's not a requirement as you stated, and it's certainly not advisable. I did the 1,000 miles in 17 hours and that was really pushing it. Had I stopped for an 8 hour nap as you say is required, I wouldn't have made it.
I'd like you to show me where in the IBA rules it says you are required to stop for 8 hours.

It's a fun an challenging event. Some of us love a challenge, and others simply want to go on with their everyday lives. Those of us who have had the guts to do it have had fun, and have ridden safely. There is not one single documented case of a mishap due to someone performing a IBA event.
Enjoy your ride, whatever you do.

Really? I misquoting you? Here is what you said, verbatim:
"You do realize that during the '24 hour' ones that most stop and sleep overnight for 8 hours don't you? Ride 8. Sleep 8. Ride 8. That means only 500 miles per 8 hour day of riding... which is nothing."
You should not be disseminating information without first checking your facts.
The fact is that those of use who have completed the 1,000 mile saddle sore ride have done so without stopping for a "Nap". When you only have 24 hours to complete this 1,000 mile challenge, stopping for a rest is not a viable option. Again, I don't know where you get your data that leads you to an absurd statement such as, "........ MANY will do it that way... At least the smart ones".
I'm totally chilled out. I just don't want people to get the wrong information.

The Facts are that Pilots have to Have a Certain amount of Rest/Down Time for the Safety of their passengers and I will leave the rest to your imagination of someone trying to ride 24 hours without sleeping and the # of people that were killed when that person selfishly endangers their lives on the road?

Hi - I'm the Doug Chasick who rode with BikerDoc and just wanted to assure you that since I live in FL, and prefer riding East to West to East, you won't have to worry about me running into you (no pun intended) until 2017, when I plan to attend the Owner's Event which is rumored to happen in Valcourt.
Oh, and the ride from Naples to Ft. Lauderdale on Alligator Alley at sunrise was one of the most gorgeous 90 minutes I've experienced in almost 50 years of motorcycling - even at 65 +/- mph . . .
