Just got home. 1018 miles in 15.5 hours. Took a pretty easy route, most of the trip was i95. My wife did the witnessing, and I have all of my receipts, hopefully I remember to mail it off soon.
And it was a freaking blast. Did not expect all the high and low moments of the trip. In a 10 minute span going from "why the hell am I doing this?" to "why haven't I done these before?"
Plus the f6b makes it easy.
Congratulations. It gets addicting, on to the Bun Burner next.
Congratulations! :yes:
500-600 miles in one day is quite enough for me. :shhh: if I gots to get somewhere quickly... I take the machine that was never meant to fly. :icon_mrgreen:
You do that on a stick seat?
That's stock seat
Definitely wouldn't fall off stick seat but makes it hard to lean. Would give new definition to Iron Butt.Quote:

After his trip I can see adding some highway pegs and something to make the grips bigger. I alternate from the board to the passenger pegs anyway, but a third option would help. Had a few hand cramps too, but that's because the diameter of the grips are to small.
After a full nights sleep, the only thing that is sore is my neck, but there is nothing I can do to make my giant head weigh less.
That's the wrong kind of contest:lolup:Quote:

Wingstuff has foam grip covers that make the diameter of the grips bigger, gonna give those a try. I don't want to new grips on. I'll probably get the ergo 3 footrest over the winter.
Sent my iron butt paperwork off a few days after my ride. I guess I should hear back from them around mid november.
.....or, be emailed immediately after I made my last post. Sweet.
A big congrats on completing the SaddleSore 1000.
3 of us did it together about 2 years ago. We decided to combine the SaddleSore 1000 and the BunBurner 1500 all in one ride. It was a handful to say the least.
It does make you think a lot about why you're doing it....LOL....especially when the temperature goes from a nice 75 degrees to about 27 degrees at night in the mountains...LOL
A friend of mine and myself are contemplating doing the Super BunBurner 1500....1500 miles in 24 hours.
I coudn't come close without a better seat and windshield. I just rode mine 90 minutes and at 70 and above, I was getting my head blown off. I also have a broken tailbone from over a year ago and man does this seat aggravate it. Kudos to yall Iron butters.
Congratulations!
Welcome to the family. Been doing Iron butt rides for years, my latest was the Border to Border. Yup...Canada to Mexico in under 30 hours.
My next plan is the Coast to Coast.
keep going there lots of fun. :congrats:
