That sounds fun.  Lets see.  If I wanted to do 16500 miles, that would be
1500 miles a day.  So, for a 16 hour day, you would need to average nearly
a hundred miles an hour.  But, maybe you could soup up a harley to sustain 150
to 200.  That would certainly make for a sore everything going that fast on a
bike for such lengths of time.
