Weather and other circumstances permitting, I am planning on a 1034 mile ride taking less then 24 hours to complete, and getting a certificate from the Iron Butt Associtation for doing so. I plan on leaving around 11pm Friday (April 26) or perhaps the next day. I'm starting in Phoenix, heading West to San Diego, then North to Las Vegas, and then Southeast back to Phoenix. I'll be traveling light, and will only have my frunk for storage. I'm not interested in only going on the interstate, and my plan ride has other roads besides them. I have pre-scheduled all my stops, and the maximum distance to gas stops is 181 miles (which I think is doable without carrying extra fuel). I'm not sure, if I'll be caring extra fuel, but will have tools, tire repair kit, air compressor, rags, chain lube, and water. I'll be doing the ride with no windscreen. The original windscreen that came with the bike produces to much buffeting around my helmet, and I'm not sure what optional windscreens will work for me. Bike will be completely stock except for the 2 in. Rox handlebar risers and electrical hookup to my android phone, and possible GPS.
I wouldn't be wearing any special equipment, but will be wearing a weave motorcycle jacket with a removable plastic inner liner, jeans, hiking boots, and a full face helmet.
