Nomination for Savage Iron Butt Award
04/22/16 at 16:29:44

If you all read the last few posts about the Twisted Sisters ride you all know that MM rode around 830 miles in about 17 hours. I think this qualifies him for the first ever Savage Iron Butt Award. I am not good with graphics so if someone wants to put something together to acknowledge this endeavor, go for it.

MM, all I can really say is WOW. My but hurt with the previous day's 300 mile ride. Grin

The longest stretch was 108 miles , couple more right at 100 , then there were lots of " Well-- 20 + miles to next exit , but I'm on 90's miles now Huh

--- better get some fuel now ! Wink

" ,

The seat didn't hurt ... The right shoulder got tired of balancing the weight on the "Cramp-Buster" throttle pad , a throttle "Lock" would be better . The first 600-700 miles was a nice ride Wink

.

A Five gallon tank ... Tongue

200 miles between fuel-ups Tongue

So with the front Kawasaki pulley the Savage thinks its running 68 mph when the GPS says we're doing 76 mph ground speed. That's with a 140/90 tire.

You'll never find a motorcycle parked at a psychiatrist unless he owns one.
All we need is a full tank of gas and a sorta sunny day... and in a pinch even a rainy day will do.
I guess I'll start calling my bike a cycletrist.
after a week long session, I'm ready to go back to work with a smile. Cool
