This doesn't look like a dirt bike to me. Al:spank:

[xcrider]

Probably happened on accident.

[BigAl1952]

Guess Im just picky from the looks of that road I wouldn't have taken my bike down that dirt road at all.:shrug:

[Steve 0080]

If I wanted to go down that road I would go...hopefully not in this manner and for sure the bike would not be there long enough for someone, anyone to take a pic of it !!!!! :nono:


Ride it like a dirt bike, stand up, bend your knees and keep the front end gased ( light )... and go for it...not my first coice but if I needed to go...the Black gurl is going !!!!!

[opas ride]

Too bad he was not riding a Vision instead of the CCT..The Vision has tip-over protectors that prevent damage to the bike when tipped over...Don't ask me how I know!!!...IMHO the person riding that bike should have known better considering the view/condition of the road....

Same here. A 900 lb bike us not meant for that road. Its obviously soft. A bike that heavy just plows in. I work too hard to be that stupid.

If I saw you take your B down that road I would laugh and stop to take pictures. I'm not helping you pick it up though.:joke:

The built in tip overs on the Vision would have not helped in this case of stupidity. That road is soft; the tip overs would've dug in. A Vision would've sustained body damage on that dirt road.

I don't know that is crazy why would someone buy a Victory.

You really should do a search and read about his Artic Circle IBA rides. Double Dark Sider for some of the roads he takes his Vision down. Dirt roads don't scare him.

[CheesyRider]

If you're going to take a Victory off pavement, the Vision is the way to go!

Yep, I believe that's "Rollin". He once posted a photo of a 1600 mile IBA ride and the GPS showed an average speed of 86 mph for 1600 miles

Can't you get pinched for that after the fact ?

Life's hard enough, its harder when your stupid, this guy qualifies! JMHO

[Sorcerer]

Been down roads like that. For us the alturnitive would have been 1 1/2 back tracking. There was some seat pucker. Looks like the rider got to close to the edge and got sucked in.

I would have taken the back tracking before subjecting my 6 to an unreasonable stretch of worthless road like that one.

No, I'm pretty sure he lost this round.

The short answer is no, at least here in FLA... Those IBA guys run at Mach one most of the time...I think the record for 24 hours non stop is like 2300 miles... or something like that...don't feel like looking for the answer...

I was reading the rules for the 1000/24, 1500/36 and 50CC run and it said you are required to get an officer (plus badge number) to sign your paperwork both at the beginning and the completion of your run. I can't imagine someone asking a cop to sign that one.

Some of the best roads in the Black Hills around Sturgis are worse than that and my F6 made it just fine. If you are ever there take the end of the pavement in Deerfield to Rochford; the most beautiful 20 miles of dirt I have ever seen!

News to me...I/we did not do it !!!

News to me...I/we did not do it !!!

Here is what I was reading (instructions for the 50cc including both the 1000/24 and 1500/36).

"... find at least one police officer, firefighter, judge, notary public or authorized Iron Butt Association member
... You may fill out the witness section with the Police Station/Fire House address. Ask the officer to supply his badge number and note it on the witness form.
... Generally speaking, you will need to find one police officer at both the start and end of your ride to witness the date, time and location.

You need an official for the 50cc but for 1000/24 and 1500/36 standalone you only need a clerk, time stamp etc.
http://www.ironbutt.com/ridecerts/getdocument.cfm?DocID=1

STEP TWO: Get a start witness

In order to document your ride, the Iron Butt Association requires that obtain an eyewitness to document the start of your ride. Witnesses for the basic SaddleSore 1000 and Bun Burner 1500 may be a friend (but not one on the ride with you), spouse or even gas station attendant willing to answer a letter from the IBA about your start or end time. If a passenger is on the ride with you, please ask your witnesses to sign the form for them also.

This reminds me of when I was riding in Montana back on July 25th. It was POURING rain all day long from the time I left Shelby until just before I rolled into Missoula. I believe I was somewhere south of Choteau when I ran into about an 18 mile patch of road which was being rebuilt. This section of road would've been hard packed dirt on a sunny day, but on the day I was riding on it, the dirt was a bit soft & very slippery. I was putt-putting along very slowly, but holy crap my entire body was rigid. Luckily I made it through with nothing but a filthy bike & dirty boots & chaps.

I think I hijacked this thread back to it's original discussion.....

[coffee_weasle]

maybe..... alcohol was somehow involved?
