That's very impressive, especially since I assume the speed limits in those eastern states aren't as high as they are here in the west. I rode 2,000 miles through Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana in 5 days last week, but was greatly helped by the 80 MPH limit on most of the interstates. Even the mountain road below (Beartooth Pass in Montana) was posted at 70! With very little traffic and great pavement I had an incredible ride.
I can't imagine a better bike than a GL1800 for logging these kind of distances. Back in the late 70s I rode 900 miles over a single night (with the 55 MPH national speed limit!) on my Kawasaki KZ-900. Even with a Vetter fairing that trip took a lot out of me.
