Just wondering if we have any "ironbutt" riders IBA - World's Toughest Motorcycle Riders

I might be willing to try some of their rides

I was thinking about doing this as well!

Several of us have done the 1000... I did it with 2 other members in 18.5 hours on my 04 Volusia.

I'm not up for one of those yet, but I am going to try 650 miles to Charleston SC with nothing but gas stops this summer.

Got my papers in now for a 1000+ mile ride.

Did mine last year. Be ready. It's mostly mental. The bike will have no issues. See my sig.

I did two on the C50 in one weekend the summer before last (1000 mile). Did it the hard way, I took backroads and two lane highways most of the way. Timed it so I would be in the desert in the middle of the night to watch the meteor showers, then slept a few hours on the bike in the desert...used the entire 24 hours. If you click on my sig line, I'm pretty sure all the boring details and pictures are in my ride blogs.

Then again, I love backroads. Maybe 18 hours on the interstate is the hard way.

I have done the saddle sore rides and a 3 day 3,000 mile Ironbutt ride (along with another one I diddn't record)
