The Beaver Bar had a pretty good crowd by SBB was the place to be. My wife missed a picture of a tent outside. There were about 50 people around it.

No trip would be complete for my wife without a visit to MB HD. We got there about 30 minutes before they opened. Waited with a couple from Johnson City, TN that rode down without reversations. They had to go back inland for a room. The hotels were PACKED!!!!!!!!!

I did pick up a couple of the new high capacity oil filters for the M8.


The SC symbol.

What was left of the Surfside Pier after Hugo



Myrtle Beach HD


YES "Take Back Your Freedom"







Total mileage for 3 days including the Iron Butt.

Thank you sir. I'm proud to have completed it. Now to submit my paperwork for the certificate and get a patch. I will wear it with pride. My best advice is to read all the instructions until you have them embedded in your brain. Lay out a route that you will want to ride and will be comfortable with and don't pick a drop dead date. Be very flexible and ready to roll when the stars and moon align and you are in the zone! It just worked out that I was off and the weather was perfect and I was perpared.

Welcome to Finland.
Thank you for the positive comments. That is what makes it worth while.

We’ll love to see some photo’s from Finland.

Ride safe

Congrats on the ride! Welcome to the club!

Having pain between your shoulder blades could be a sign that your handlebars are too far forward. If it continues you may want to consider finding a way to move them up/back
