How much distance can a single rider cover in 24 hour? A South African did over 2000 miles (3200km) in one single day back in 2014. Do you think you own a fast bike? Rocky Robinson would most definitely have out-raced you when he set the record on the famed Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah: 376 miles per hour (605kmh).
