IBA ride taking place in Oct. 2022 starting in Houston, TX. Ride led by Chris Hopper and Kim Walling hosted by Republic Harley Davidson and Republic HOG chapter
It was a beautiful day for a ride and it's hard to finish a group iron butt ride. It was great to finish with everyone we started with. Congratulations to all the riders.
I tried an iron butt last July returning to MN from Alaska. I made it 917 miles before I ran out of daylight. I stopped there because after investigating crashes for 30 years as a state trooper, I refuse to ride motorcycle in the dark. I will try again this summer.
Did my 1st SS 2003. After a few more different rides, did a couple with groups. For me I won't do those rides with smokers. A 6 minute gas stop will turn into a 20 minute smoke break. No thank you.
I have two riding buddies that smoke. One lifts his visor and smokes while he is riding and the other just takes a drag or two at a stop and then quickly puts it out... but I know what you mean. I do schedule at least one long stop on the rides that I plan because even non-smokers need to do more than just get fuel at a least one stop.
A 1000 Mile Saddle Sore or the 3100 mile Ride Around Texas? I'll ride with you too. I live just south of Houston but I don't mind starting elsewhere. I'm retired and the USA is my local riding area.
