    IBA Border to Border

    Completed my Border to Border last night. We made it in 35.5 hours. It was great ride, my F6B was a dream to ride. Started in Milk River, Alb. And ended in Mexicali, Mexico. Check that off the bucket list.

    Well done. The F6B seems to me like a great choice for a challenging endurance ride. Perhaps the F6B will be the go to bike for IBA rides in the future. I see an opportunity for an extended fuel tank location where the OEM rack would normally be mounted....

    Congrats, Phil. I've been wondering how your ride was going. How about a Sacramento/Central Valley get together/ride so we can hear the details firsthand.

    Border to Border

    Thanks everyone...The mileage was just about 1450 miles. The route was hwy 15 all the way to Vegas, then hwy 95 to mexicali. We had a little tire trouble on my friends BMW...so we ended up staying in Vegas several hours to get it fixed. Without that stop we were on track to do the ride in under 24 hrs. I am glad to have had the opportunity complete this event.

    Bruce, I agree we need toget all our Sacramento F6 brothers together.

    That's quite a haul in 24 hours! Since I live close to the southern border I think I would go south to north from Nogales to where you went in Canada. Then maybe take several days to get back home.

    Did you have any issues at either border? I'm not thrilled about the idea of taking my bike into Mexico and back.
