To my eyes, the Iron Butt patch simply proves you are capable of mimicking serious truck driving hours, and no more.
You guys want to do something worth bragging about ? Ride the AlCan Highway from Seattle to Anchorage, send a postcard, and ride back home
before the postcard is delivered !
https://maps.google.it/maps?saddr=Seattle,+Washington,+Stati+Uniti&daddr=Anch... I mean, anyone can ride NYC to LA and back, where's the big deal?
But the AlCan ? That's adifferent story...
As for me, this is in my bucket list, I'm now trying to talk my wife into coming with me...
https://maps.google.it/maps?saddr=Roma,+RM&daddr=Oslo,+Norvegia+to:Trondheim,...It's a mere 3000 miles each way... but I intend to
stop and
sightsee along the way !
So... if she's coming along, it'll be the big Beemer; if not, if I have to ride solo, I believe it would be a lot more fun on the Savage !
(Now THAT's Iron Butt !!!)
