Well by this fellas account, if one is spending more than about 1.2 hrs of every 24 stopped (not rolling) AND one is otherwise also following the rules one will be running the next H.H. for the fun and not the profit of it (all things being approx equal to this past race...um unrace.
Excalibur, congrats to you sir for pulling this monster off and winning, truly an epic adventure.
My longest ride was 9000 miles border to border and sea to sea plus interior zigzags and it took three weeks (and a large Grey Goose budget)!!
It just is beyond comprehension to me that he could be riding/rolling an avg of almost 23 hrs a day!!!
Your right about the fellow riders on these trips (mine have been mostly affilliated with Posse/HOG journeys) they are the best guys/gals in the world.
Congrats again

It was certainly over 22 hours per day rolling even with fuel stops. I think I could have finished sooner though if I had slept one more time in Alaska before the finish. the last 100 miles was a real struggle and was slow. I also lost several hours to confusion due to fatigue over the course of the event. Overall I believe I would have finished faster if I had slept a bit more - next year. . .
I am a relative newcomer to the Harley community and have to reiterate that I am extremely impressed with the caliber of its members. Their positive energy and support have made me a better person and I am learning quickly from many of them. The guys running up front that I had the most contact with were all supporting each other. I never saw anyone take advantage of another's misfortune and I repeatedly saw riders accept a delay or take a risk to help another challenger, this among challengers who were certainly in the running and competing for the prize.
