...not in 20yrs and not on a RE, on a BMW once with my buddies in my early 20's, as I remember, that was a long haul!!  Not feeling motivated to try that again;)

Done it in a car bunches of times,  1600 in 24 hours once.   Never on a bike though.

Did it twice in a car from Tulsa to Cypress, CA, 1450 miles in 21 hours Nissan pickup and Miata. Several times from SoCal to Casper, WY, or back, 1150 miles in 16 hours. 
Most I've done on a bike was 530 on a Norton Club Buttbuster ride through interesting roads up to Santa Maria and back to Orange County. I've never been too interested in cross country motorcycling. Don't know why. I even set up a 1000 plus mile ride for a club I was in to get the Iron Butt award. I didn't go on the ride though. Actually I don't think I went because of work...but not too highly motivated either. Several guys did do it, though.

1027 mi in a bit more than 21 hours. 9 years ago on my E Glide. Saved all the paperwork for the ironbutt and never sent it in.

Twice on an 850 Guzzi, but not since the 80s. Did Chattanooga to Minneapolis in March to make it challenging.

if you could average 60 mph,, that would be close to 17 hrs...   :o  and that not stopping for fuel or food..

Iron butt anyone? 8)
