Skill wise, do I think I'm ready? Well, I already crashed so I got that out of the way. I've been on the street for only about 250 miles but this is important to me. I don't have a car for the trip and I want to do this. I want to.
What worries me is that you seem to think that crashing once means you will not crash again. And also being that you only have 250 miles experience but you are looking to do more than double that in a single weekend... That is quite a bit.

If it were me, I would take a bus. Why risk something if you are questioning if you are comfortable or not. To me, it sounds like you are not comfortable.

Also, not to sound like a d*ck, but it seems like you are not even familiar with your bike operation and how it works. Maintenance is a key thing, and if you overlook it, it will come back to bite you in the a$$

In the end, it is up to you, and your decision.
