Too bad your IBA ride started so poorly! Can't wait to read the rest of the story.

Good story so far. Can't wait to read the next installment. Sorry about the bad gas and the carb retaining all the water.

Nice write up so far. That's pretty much the way I remember it.

We were not Iron Butt riders, we were Iron Dumb Ass Riders.

LOL...finally finished it tonight. It was a fun ride but I doubt I will stay up for that long again on purpose. This ol' body can't take it any more.

Between your bike giving out, your gps giving out, your cb giving out, your phone giving out and your body giving out this was one heck of a ride to say the least.

At least our experience was not only different but much more difficult then the rest which gives us bragging rights until next year.
