Big Daddy,
I've done several rides that would qualify, but have never submitted any paper work. So I don't get to claim the iron butt title. But I've done many 1,000 mile days. I'll probably log a thousand miles day later this month.
When I was 16 I rode a 600 honda Shadow from Ohio to Colorado. It was slightly over 1500 miles in 29 hours. My father was on a bmw k1200 at the time and my uncle rode a Kawasaki Vulcan drifter. It was an amazing experience for a kid to get to do. Also, I was allot tougher then I think.... Cause no part of me would want to do that now on a 600 with no music or radio lol ...
They've since bought a 14 wing and a 16 Indian chieftain. And I went first to a Honda v65 magna and now the Concours.
Had I known anything about the IBA I would have documented everything for that ride.
Ride safe. I'll check out the link you posted
As for turkey, I got out Saturday afternoon for an hour and twenty minutes and saw two hens....
