Do you know of an EXCELLENT motorcycle sanctioned ride???

For Example:

Iron Butt Association: www.IronButt.com
Open to riders all over the world.

They have a VARIETY of GREAT sanctioned rides. Saddle Sore (1,000 miles in less than 24 hrs.) and MANY more.

Southern California Motorcycle Association: www.sc-ma.com
Open to riders all over the world (not just Southern California).

They have the USA Four Corners Tour....riding the 4 corners of the USA under so many days and MANY more rides/ride categories.

BOTH of the associations above give awards, trophy's, plaques, other recognition etc... but it is the RIDE that I am looking for.

Does anyone know of any other associations, clubs, organizations, etc... that have "sanctioned" rides? Large organizations not the smaller 25 or 50 rider organizations. Associations that allow ALL TYPES of bikes not just Harleys or Hondas or whatever but allow ALL types of bikes.

Thank you in advance for helping me find them!!!

I suspect each of us might have a slightly different definition of excellent. A "great" ride to me might be worthless to someone else.

As to sanctioned, do you have a definition that you require? There are hundreds if not thousands of "sanctioned" rides around the country. Some of them have good reputations where others, not so much.

I am familiar with the two you mentioned (and an Iron Butt member)...both seem to have a respected following.

 

Team Strange sanctions a few.

go to "Rides Rallies and Clubs"

The list there could keep you busy all year.

 

Honestly my friend, you are right and I really did not know how else to say it. That is why in part I mentioned an assoc. with a large number of members to help narrow down the pickings.

Maybe ppl here can throw organizations into the pot and I will sift thru it find some.
