New Bohemia, VA | Congrats Steve!!! (oh, and I laughed when I read "grueling", and one of a handful that "survived" this ... challenge. Reminds of Galahad being "rescued" from the Castle Anthrax in Monty Python's Holy Grail movie.)

That was in 1995. Mike is cool, I met him at the RedWing19. I was joshing you with the comfort of the Vision and your hunger to ride, that the grin your face most of the way, said anything but gruelling or challenging. Still a feat to be recognized without a doubt. |

So what is next, you will never be satisfied until you are the only one with a IBR ????. Thanks Bill! I do like the short lists but someone has already done the Iron Butt Rally on a Victory. There was a Victory Vision in the 2007 and 2009 IBR. |

Green Bay, WI United States | I would love to do a 1000 IBB with you as this would push me on and between us I think we could set a new low time record. What do you think???? Is this recorded in the IB certs or not?
Hope your coming to the Fall Ride @ Tomahawk, I will be in the Parade but not sure about the rest.... Like I always say:

And I love to ride... That is wild. Your the man...... Thanks Rob! This is what happens. I see or read about a ride and then..... "I wonder if I could do that?" After I get that thought in my head the ride planning takes on a life of it's own and I don't seem to be able to stop it.  No regrets and a lot of great memories. |
