An update,

Never tell yourself that you’ll stop at the next motel out of Denver when it looks like it’s going to rain, is almost sunset, you’re staying off interstates, you’re headed to Salt Lake City, you’re on a motorcycle and it’s not fuel injected.

So all said I put on 544.2 miles today, and got over the Rockies, in the dark. I think I’m going to take it easy tomorrow.
