I have done the Iron Butt and Saddle Sore, but I know I need more preperation to move to the next level. John Burgess Alan -

I don't understand you riders. Are you all of German decent ? You say it's not for the title but you all pay to do it when you could do it on your own for just self-esteem. We do about 500 miles a day. A few times I do 800 mile days but not for some piece of paper. I/we ride long distances for MC rallies or campouts, but just to say you did it ?

I've got an Iron Butt certificate for a Saddlesore 1000, and while I haven't done any BIG rallies, I can feel the urge to do it. The best part is absolutely to KNOW that you can do something most people think is impossible. And when you are on a trip and need to 'get ahead of some weather' by doing another 300 miles at the end of a day... No problem! Good luck on the challenge!
