No over heating that I could see not having a temperature gauge. I would think that as long as you have air flowing over the engine as in moving it going to be fine. Most of these trips are in the summer with temperatures going well over 100 degrees more than once. It's always hotter on the road than at the weather station.
If your going to over heat its probably going to be while your sitting still in traffic. No air flow over the engine. I have a four cylinder air cooled Yamaha that you have to have a fan blowing on it any time the engine is running and it sitting still for any length of time. The engine puts off so much heat that without the fan it will boil the gasoline in the tank. I did this once before I knew better.
