I went to work today. Granted, about an hour later than usual and I left an hour early to come home for a nap. We then went out to dinner with another couple and I'm about done for the night. I'll have more to report, but my butt and knees are not sore despite the stock seat.
More later. Nite
More later. Nite

Probably more proud of this than I have a right to be, considering all I did was do something I already loved to do....
** This is to Certify that on the 27th of June 2017, Matthew T. Cxxxx rode a 2013 Honda CB1100 a total of 1,034 grueling miles in less than twenty-four hours during a Circle Tour around Lake Michigan starting in Park Ridge, Illinois; continuing on to Petoskey, Michigan; riding through the Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route and across the Mackinac Bridge; then on to Paradise, Michigan; and Appleton, Wisconsin before returning to Park Ridge while participating in the Lake Michigan 1000. The Lake Michigan 1000 was conducted under very strict guidelines set forth by the Iron Butt Association. Only a handful of riders from around the world have managed to solve the challenges such a grueling ride involves. *

The Mackinac bridge is not easy! Long, steel, can have terrible wind.
I rode it one, on a CB360T when I was young, poor and less risk adverse. Might add I was a finically challenged college student
That was scarab amazing accomplishment. Be proud of it.

1500 in 24hrs seems to be exponentially more difficult than 1000 in 24fhs. I finished the 1000 in 20.5 hours that would leave me 3.5 hours to complete 500 miles. Pretty sure that the speed limiter kicks in at something less than the 142.85 mph I'd have to average for that. LOLLongRanger_imp said:
Seriously, though, it would be really tough to figure out how to pick up my avg. mph from 50 to 63, but maybe if it was all 4 lane and if I increased my distance between stops to 120 miles......hmmm....
Thank you for your gracious offer, but I'm pretty well stocked on t-shirts (I still have to distribute Rally shirts to those who didn't make it to Eureka Springs and pay InHouseBob). Thanks for the thought, though.Frulk_imp said:

An intriguing notion. I'll have to mull that over, Ole.
