It was a day great for it - thanks for planning it all out (and I guess we'll forgive you for the wrong turn). Good job on the video, too!

Well done Sir!!! So few people anymore understand and appreciate the effort of pushing out against our limits and finding the edges. For some, it's the challenge and bragging rights, for others, it's spiritual. Regardless of the motivation, it's the journey not the destination. Fantastic accomplishment. You got a sub

Sounds like a blast !

This was great Chris. 🫡

Had a few KLRs but never tried anything like that on one but I did ride 1129 miles (by the odometer) on my goldwing one day. I didn’t do any iron butt paperwork but it was still a pretty cool feeling. Nice job. Keep riding safe.

I did my Saddlesore 1000 on my Ultra Classic. I use my KLR for commuting and hopefully a BDR ride someday. Congratulations on taking the hard way!

Congrats, and happy birthday! The longest I've ever ridden in a 24 hour period is half what you did, and on a cruiser. I was absolutely ready to get off and find the nearest beer. I can't imagine the mental fortitude needed to take a KLR 650 that far in 24 hours. I salute you!

Well… You’ll never get in trouble by whiskey throttle on a KLR.

One more question, with the 16 tooth, how was speedometer/odometer accuracy impacted? I've read it's more accurate

how was the oil consumption with using the 16 tooth? Little to none? I hope to do a saddle sore in a year...but I've got a long way to go first. Congratulations on getting it done...

I rode my Suzuki sv650 from up in Washington state to South Padre Island in the last week in October. 3 thousand miles in three days. Much of that ride was in sub freezing temperatures in the dark. I spent a week in recertification classes and headed back home. I took a week and a half getting back home in early November.

My first ride on a stock KLR was only 200 miles. My arse was so damn sore!! Lol It made me rethink all my ambitious adventure plans. Alaska to South America was definitely out of the question. Lol

Great job sir! I recently did a single day, 551 mile ride, 9 hour ride time, but what u did was Herculean and it has me thinking. Hmmm...

Wow. Congrats and happy belated 50th. Both great achievements. Didn't think of the KLR as an iron butt machine.

You're an absolute monster accomplishing this on a KLR650. Congrats to you sir! And Happy late Birthday!

Is that 24 hours of actual riding or just 24 hours from the moment you start your bike? :O Edit: Gratz with your birthday!

Happy for you, it’s definitely “a personal thing”. Can’t explain it, don’t need to. Funny thing for “me” is, @ 76 I force myself to slow down now to take a look around and enjoy what’s left of the road? Best to you, Rola (Oregon / USA)👍🏻

Man I love motorcycles! Great video and that is a long ways in such a short time, great job!!

Very inspiring ❤🎉

What's the difference between this and masochism? 🤔🤔

Nice views fellas! Ah yes, the Sasquatch Inn 👍🏻 Also, paraglides are nuts!! 🤣

Just got a new KLR, and my butt has informed me: “don’t get any big ideas.”

You had to have butt surgery ?

Great video Chris!

Beautiful land and filming

Your took adventure too another level. Good vibes. Keep exploring the world

Nice ride and congrats. Im 63 but still is in my bucket list...

That Ranger Station was an awesome find 👍

Love that your vids pop up in my feed now ;-)

Very impressive especially on a KLR650. I've done them on a Goldwing and FJR. Can't imagine a KLR. Congrats man!

Great trip the KLR isn't held in high regard by some , I just bought one a 22 adv , hope to do some trouble free road and trail expeditions , they seem pretty capable definitely not that powerful , like a mule .Cheers .

great vid man keep it up

I miss my Thumper

Great job 😊

Wow, inspiring. I need to look this up. New KLR 650 owner here. All paved roads? Any dirt? Thank you for posting.

Nicely done. Iron butt is a piece of cake on a KLR. I did it on my 2018 a couple of times. I just took my breaks when I stopped for fuel which was roughly every 225 miles. I'm planning to buy a 2025 KLR as soon as my local Kawasaki dealer gets them in and I'll probably do an Iron Butt to break it in amd then I plan to see how fast I can do the So-Cal and Nor-Cal BDRs (I'm a former MX, enduro, and supermoto racer so I get throttle happy in the dirt)

Happy (Belated)Birthday 🎉

Good points. Did one of the IBA rides years ago. Sadly many in our group were hard chargers and raced the clock. That was high-schoolish. I took breaks as needed aside from fuel stops. Our ride would benefit a charity, so I wasn't worried if I didn't finish. Did 1.087 and qualified with three hours left. They said there were still eight out there somewhere.

A saddlesore is an impressive feat on its own, but to complete it on a KLR 650 as an awe inspiring accomplishment that can only be described as a modern Viking saga. Well done; a lot of respect to you. Also, the scenery is amazing.

Any oil consumption?

nice video, and nice ride! Congratulations on the accomplishment. And on a KLR no less!

Awesome job. Congrats. I did mine on a Suzuki V-Storm 650. Slightly more luxurious than the KLR. Very imprrssive

KLR gang! My tail hurts after a couple hours!

1000 miles in a day...on a KLR. LOL.

Congratulations! I did my 1600km in Poland last year. I agree with everything you've said in the video!

Strong work! I made 860 miles in Texas on my gen 2 KLR and got stomped on by sideways rain and high winds. Lots of lightning, looked cool on the GoPro but stopped me right there. Another near thousand mile trip was cut short in Casper Wyoming due to the crosswinds.

Just found your channel. Subscribed!

Nope 😂😂😂 (BEAUTY waterfalls!!! 🤩)

I've never heard of the "IronButt" ride.... is this an organization of sorts, I heard you say you had to submit your info to get the accommodation. That's very interesting. Keep the rubber side down, peace

I did an iron Butt run from Dallas Texas to California twice back in the early-mid 80's. I hadn't even heard of an iron butt run at that time, first time on a Suzuki 750 & the 2nd on a Harley super glide ( I was in my early -mid 20's ) I haven't road a bike in 40 years until I got my gen 3 KLR last year...... I don't know if my old butt could handle that on my KLR , However this video is inspiring to say the least. I might try Dallas to Mt. Rushmore to see how I do , I'd have to go pre/post Sturgis as I wouldn't want all of the Harley riders to feel inferior to the KLR & someone riding their bike as opposed to trailering it to the destination 😬
