48+ Ride Report
I recently finished doing the IBA 48+ ride: all lower 48 states + Alaska in 10 days. The ride finished in Hyder, AK in conjunction with Ron Ayres "Hyder Seek" get-together for LD riders.
Total miles for the 48+: 8,580 miles Total time: 9d,10h, 56m Total trip distance including getting to the start and coming back from Alaska: 12,211. My '04 ST didn't burp, cough, hiccup or belch - absolutely flawless the entire trip. Rear BT020 is flat spotted (doh!) and pretty much toast; front has some tread left on it, but I'm going to change out both of them anyway. Did the entire trip without changing oil (Rotella T Synthetic) and will send the used oil in for analysis to see how well it fared. I wrote a combination ride report and documentation for the IBA. Ignore the red and blue letters in parentheses - those refer to receipts for the IBA. Here's Part 1. |

That's awesome -- thanks for sharing. I doubt I could do a ride like that, but it sure is nice to read about

Re: 48+ Ride Report
Wow, way cool. What kind of seat to you have. They should "sponsor" you with giving you a new one just for the great advertisement.

Exemplar = a person or thing regarded as worthy of imitation; model; pattern; archetype.
We know the person; we know the thing. And kudos to both! Styles |
