Damn that Sucks... dud probably rode more in a month than 90% of the US riders do in a year.


as for the iron butt... closest I got was last year from Northern AR to FL... 904 miles in about 14hrs... if I'd realized that I was that close... I'd have ridden the extra 86 miles around the next morning. but 1. didn't have a witness of where i left... and tossed all my gas receipts. and 2. I was fuck'n exhausted and Rae distracted me in the AM with wearing head to toe under armor...

there are bonuses for sleeping in the IBR. They try and make it as safe as possible. Like everything else in life, it's a calculated risk.
