I had a friend in last year's IB rally. I think he came in 25th or 29th maybe. I doubt I would ever be up for the rally. Too much for me now. 20 years ago maybe but, not now!
Did it in one go. I think we took 19 hours, but it was a big group and we stopped a lot more than I wanted to. I did 1000 in about 14 or 15 by myself coming back from california, but I didn't document it.

I used to drive truck so, the long hours are nothing new to me. I just wish I still had my old Virago. That thing just ate up the miles. The KLR isn't quite as comfortable. Whenever I decide to do it, I'll be sure to post up!

I suggest using something other than the KLR so you can pass...

:lol:

I did, but it was a combination of timing, skill, and a strong wind on my back while going down hill

And about a 100lb weight difference! My handlebar weighs as much as Derf!

You want a challenge?

Take your riding off the road...

And since you're into distance more than a faster lap, I would suggest Baja! It comes in 3 flavors(last I heard) 250mi, 500mi and the ultimate killer 1000 miles.

Ah! To be young and more bounceable and less brittle again!

You'll be fine Trace :) plan on doing the boring parts at night, it's way more fun to imagine there is something exciting than to see that it's boring as shit :lol:
