[emrat:4836] Triumphs in Taos - Saddlesore 1000?

I put this out at the RAT meeting last night, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw it out on the Googlegroup as well.

Doing an "Iron Butt" ride has been on my "bucket list" for years. Most of the last few years I have either not had the time or not had a suitable bike for such a ride but now that I have the Beemer, I think I've got the perfect mount for a long distance ride.

(Actually, it was Steve and Capt. Bob's presentation about the "Three Flags" ride they did last year that really kindled my interest in finally doing a ride like this, so in a way they're the ones to blame for me getting a BMW!!! :) )

For those not familiar, "Iron Butt" rides are rides certified by the Iron Butt Association of long-distance riders. There are two "introductory" rides to the Iron Butt Association, the Saddlesore 1000, 1000 miles in 24 hours or less, and the Bunburner 1500, 1500 miles in 36 hours or less.

Anyway, I'm taking both Friday and Monday off for the T in T ride in September, and I think it would be possible to work a SS1000 or even a BB1500 at either the beginning or the end of the ride.

I'm just putting out this "feeler" to see if there might be anyone else interested in joining me. I've only just started planning, looking at routes, times, etc, but I figure I may not be the only one in the group who's been wanting to do such a ride for a while.

Anyway, email me if you're interested in going!
