Somehow the Iron Butt guys are making me feel like Richard Dreyfuss comparing his appendix scar to Roy Scheider's Shark Bite scar in the first "Jaws" movie but...

~500 mile from Spearfish SD to Fairmont MN (halfway home to Chicago South Suburbs)  Ran the remaining 485 the next day. On my FXR3.  My brother rode with me.  His first ride on a brand new Sporster 1200 custom.  Talk about Iron Butt! We had to stop about every 125 miles for gas / streatch / food because of the Peanut tank.

915 miles Panama City Fl. to Williamsburg Va. To be honest I have never heard of anyone riding as much or as long as I do until I joined this site..... I was thinking I had issues there for a while :)

I could have done the 1000 miles for the Iron Butt.....but I was home so end of ride.

I have to say the 09 is much more comfortable then the 06 staying in the saddle on these bikes is easier then sitting at this desk :)

A bunch of us have just completed the Iron Butt 1000 miles in the UK, it was hard but achievable, and if you guys have ever seen the state of the roads in the UK you will know that we have some additional challenges like 60 million people on a land mass smaller than Florida, and the joys of the M25 as well! I think I was the only CVO rider.

I also did Windor to St. Tropez in 16 hours (some 860 miles plus a chanel tunnel crossing) that was a real joy compared to the Iron Butt, as the French roads and low traffic levels are a real contrast to the UK.

1070 miles from Spearfish SD to Champaign IL on a 2003 Heritage Soft Tail.

Started at 7:00 AM in SD and finished at 3:00 AM (next day) in IL. The worst part was traveling east crossing time zones and loosing day light. And we stopped for full meals, we should have just snacked to keep moving.

I'd do it again.
