What's the furthest you have ridden in one day on a rigid frame bike (any brand)?

Yeah, I know; why would you even want to? Maybe no one on here has ridden one. Just an off-the-wall question to entertain myself. A guy recently did 3047 miles in just over 50 hours on a rigid chopper which seems like an inhuman feat to me, and got me curious.

Feel free to let loose with your war stories!

Thanks!

Update:

Good call Sleepy!

    Vancouver to Winnipeg Canada (1435mi) straight through 23 1/2 hours on a '36 Harley 61in Knuckle head.Aside from the rigid frame the stock handel bars killed my wrists and shoulders.

    You talking about the Smokeout huh? I love reading about those guy's adventures, too bad about that girl last year though.

    But to answer your question, I know a lot of people with rigids and think nothing of it, but I haven't ridden one except around town. The only reason I didn't go with a rigid is because just about every custom Ironhead I see is a rigid, so, like chicks without tattoos, being conservative is actually the rare choice.

    Rode a hardtail from Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon, Utah and back in one day (started out about noon)

    That's about 525 miles.

    Never owned a rigid frame, always seemed self-defeating like wanting a wooden Laz-e-boy.

    But (or is that butt) I have done numerous Half-Butts and two Iron Butts.
