I always wanted to try one and finally completed it today. I left yesterday morning at 0500 am and arrived home this morning at 0230 am. According to my GPS I covered 1806 km or 1122 miles. I went from Home Dartmouth NS to Rimouski New Brunswick and back.
I stopped for gas at the Salmon Pool Irving in Hartland New Brunswick and noticed a Black HD parked outside. I looked the the plate and it was from Texas.  While I was cleaning the bugs off my windshield the owner of the HD walked out and said..A Valkyrie Rider!.

congrats. Smiley how was all the paper work? 
I have done the miles but never got the whitness or paper work to turn in... I am thinking about doing it just for fun one of these days.
would you recommend doing it? would you do it again? what have you learned from it?

I went solo this time but if I did it again another rider equipped with a CB would be good.
Make sure you plan your route carefully and add on extra miles so they don't dispute the minimum distance.
Paperwork is explained on their site.

I was surprised how quick the stop time adds up meals, gas etc.
