I have been riding for more years than I can count.

Just before I turned 70 and was having trouble keeping my 2 wheels balanced with confidence ... I bought a trike ( 2014 HD ultra ) which I immediately fell in love with.

I spent 3 months fitting it to my liking and decided to do a Saddle Sore 1000 before my birthday.

Jumped on it one morning last October and ran from La Crosse to Murdo SD and back in 18.5 hours.

I'm now an Iron Butt Member.

How many of you have ran an Iron butt ride?

In 2005, I did a little over 1000 miles in about 22 hours (certified by Ironbutt Association), on a Harley Fatboy, from Akron Ohio to Spirit Lake Iowa with my brother and a friend. We left in the afternoon and rode all night to avoid the worst of the traffic.
 
Had a gentleman riding a BMW 1600 that left San Diego around 10 pm one night pulling a trailer with 75 gallons of gasoline trying to make it across the US without stopping or putting his feet down. Made it all the way to Tallahassee, FL and got stopped by the police for speeding. Traveling all interstate I-8 and I-10.
 
Have done a Saddle Sore 1000 and a Bun Burner 1500. Bun Burner has 3 levels. I completed the base level , 1500 miles under 36 hours. Silver is under 30 hours and I will attempt that next. Gold is under 24 that needs impeccable planning and execution. I will try someday.
The 2 rides I have completed were on My 2012 FLHTP.
