I think the longest I did about 1000 miles in 3 days mostly around upsate NY. That was on Katana 600 some years ago. I planned a route through some places I've never been before.
I remember one road that got more and more narrow, and trees got taller and taller, and the forest got darker and darker, and at some point I started to think what if I come across a bear or something, and I figure I will rev the heck out of the engine... Anyway, I came to an opening with a beatiful pond, house on the side, a lonely boat by the house, quiet and nice picture. The road got wider, police car went by, and I was on my way.
Crossing Hudson via a pretty tall bridge. I figured I needed to stop right in the middle of the bridge and take a few shots to capture a beatiful view. As I am almost done, a bridge patrol comes by with unhappy faces. I apologized and they let me off with no issues.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make that it is an amazing feeling of being on a bike for prolonged periods of time. You sort of grow together, and the perception of the world slowly changes to something different.
Otherwise, a rare day trip, in the country.

I did the 4 corners trip on a GL1800 2 years ago. All 4 corners of the US including the tip of the Keys and back home in 15 days. Just a little over 9500 miles. Fantastic bike but sold it as it didn't light my fire.
Rode over 3500 miles on my Yamaha GTS 1000 in 9 days including 957 miles in one day to get home.
On my Busa I did 1020 miles in 18 hours for my first Iron Butt ride last fall.
I have done one trip with Tim of Pashnit and I highly recommend his tours. My group had all kinds of bikes and a great group of people and Tim picks ome great roads. Try it, you willl like it.

Trip to the Memorial day rally (Rolling Thunder) in Washington D.C. I think it was around 4,000 or 5,000 miles in 5 days. Stock seat it wasn't too bad but I had already been on several 1,000+ mile trips to get ready for it. Just rode 300 miles this past saturday and I was nearly about to cry 
I am not ready this year

This is my 2nd season, and I've done a few 400mile day trips. I'm in NJ so there's not much, I think I've covered almost everything around and spread out to PA and Upstate NY. I'm a confident rider, but would like probably another season under my belt till I start planning cross country type stuff.
