Ultimate Trip, planning on doing this next year...

[ROCKETHEAD]

So then, how many miles you figure this route is?
Looks to be done in Google Maps. If so, would you mind sending it to me at
1olbull@gmail.com?

According to the creator of the software algorithm 13900+ miles. Not sure if the map is download able

You should be able to email a Google map or you can cut and paste it to here like this one of mine:

Not to be negative but there's no way your going to be able to do 13900 miles in 15 days. That's 927 miles a day.Even if you iron butted it your looking at a lot of variables. Your biggest hurtle will be fatigue. I'll put you up and buy you dinner if your stay includes Massachusetts. I admire your ambition and wish you a safe journey....

You'll pass right by me, you have a bed here anytime, and maybe I'll ride along a bit with you.

PS Lee at rat.net did 10,000 miles in 10 days, and hit all 4 corners of the US in the process, so it can be done. (but not by me)

On his Rocket, too, I think, but he also owns a Wing now, so not sure.

I will map it out tomorrow and send it to you, I am going to see if I can find some other stops to get it to be around 12k miles total. My best is around 12k in 14 days so will see.

That's NUTS!!!
857 miles per day - EVERY day?
You gotta love the pain Bucko!
Thanks for doing the map.

If this turns into a multiple rider event similar to RAA and we try and get in a few charity stops along the way there is no way we can do an Iron Butt. Every dealer that contributes or hosts will want to do some sort of event when we swing through which will eat up days, not to mention that moving multiple riders more than 500 miles in a day is WAY challenging.

Here is the interactive map he release, I am working on a map in Google to show actual trip planning.

Factor in a possible change of tyres. My fronts (Metzler & Avon) have only ever lasted 5000 miles and so did the original Metzler rear. I don't know what delivery times are there - but you may want to pre-arrange tyre swaps.

Speaking of trip planning has anyone found a decent trip planning app? Google maps is great for point to point planning, but a trip planner it is not. I've found a few that handle multiple stops better than Google Maps and include a few site seeing spots and hotels, but what I'm really looking for is one that lets me input my range and will identify places I need to fill up.
