A buddy of mine bought a 2005 Concours this year and one of the first things he said to me after he got it home was, "We need to do an Iron Butt ride!" So we planned and put the word out to our riding friends. The group was up to 5 riders but by the big day rolled around, there were only three of us.
The plan was to ride from Abbotsford, BC (just north of Sumas, WA) to Salt Lake City. Departure was on June 13th at 4am and planned arrival was 10pm (11pm Salt Lake time zone).
On this ride we had my ST1300A, a Concours 1000 and a Vulcan 1700.
The weather was perfect for our ride. We arrived in Salt Lake City around 11:30pm local time, only 30 minutes later than we had initially planned. We all stayed awake for the whole trip and had zero mechanical issues and no "performance awards" from the LEO's.
