Anyone in Arizona going to do the southwest 1000 Oct 4-5 for a iron butt saddle sore certifcate. should be fun. I have it on marked down but I think I may be going solo. Some guys I ride with probably want commit.

 

1000 miles straight!? On my bike!? I think not, fine sir!
&nbsp\\;
Any beer breaks in there?

 

I don't even think I will have time to stop for a **** break LOL. You have to complete it in 24hrs. I did the math and at 75mph average it will take about 14hrs straight. Typically they say it is done in 18hrs. I ride a road king so I should stay pretty comfy.

 

My bike is ill equipped for such an undertaking. I'll pass. Have fun!

 

I might be interested. Is there a link to check it out?

I don't mind doing 1000 miles in a day, but won't go if it is all freeways.

 

Found the link:

There are apparently 4 starting points, 2 in Arizona. We would be starting from Apache Junction and you would probably be starting from Tucson, so we wouldn't be riding together.

 

Sounds interesting.

 

Unless you spend the night in Tucson, and leave from there in the morning.

Maybe this could be the first ride I do on my bike??[sm=forgetit.gif]

 

I would've considered it, but I already have reservations for Vegas Bike Fest for that weekend.
