IBA Coast to Coast in 50 Hours
By Mike Goodwin.
For many years I have travelled many,many miles on motorcycles and have never tired of such antics. When I was about 15 years old I bought and still have a copy of a 1969 CycleWorld magazine of a couple of riders who on a bet rode 1,000 miles in under 24 hours. As a young guy that was some pretty heady stuff reading about these guys riding day and night thru the California mountains and deserts. So as time increased as well as money,not to mention motorcycles in the late 70's being very reliable, these things were finally in my young grasp. Then in the mid 80's I started hearing about the IronButt Rally around America and was of course very intrigued. Then a few years back I earned my way into the IronButt Association by doing one of their documented rides.
Thus, this story begins. More...
