I've done a number of Iron Butt Assoc 1000+ mile rides in the years since 2002 on a variety of sport-touring bikes including my FJR.
Last week I had an extra day off from my p/t teaching so decided to take a ride and visit my son in Denver (from Richmond, VA).
I left Thursday very early and made it to Columbia, MO before stopping for the night, just under 1000 miles. Resumed about 5 AM and made Limon, CO, a little short of Denver. So this became an Iron Butt certificate ride "Bun Burner 1500". I actually did about 1600 miles in just under 36 hours.
Visited for the w-e and left there Monday morning (off the clock) and arrived home early Wednesday morning with two hotel stops. 3500 miles total.
My Super Tenere was very comfortable with highway pegs and an air cushion seat cover. Very smooth cruising between 70 - 80 mph. On the trip out I logged every fuel stop and collected receipts, etc. My mileage was 41.8 mpg.
