Yep, and he was on the stock seat (similar to a 2x8) and finished on one lung. Quite a story

14 YO FJR with over 200,000 miles. Makes me proud of mine at only 45,000 and 10 years younger.

I remember a time in America when Irish, Polish, French, Italian, Lebanese, Jewish, were part of what's called a description. Now it is not mentioned at all.

...It implies that being a woman carries an inherent disadvantage and there guys...Lies the shrouded disrespect...(look past your nose)...

Being a woman does carry an inherent disadvantage when competing in Iron Butt. This is related to biology and Iron Butt requirements, not disrespect of women. Sorry @Huzo, but IMO this whole disrespecting women idea that you thrust into this thread is out of place.

I find it fascinanting that some people can ride a bike or drive a car for 1000 miles a day, never mind many days in a row...After a few hours of just sitting the demons in my mind take over..Then it's all down hill.....

Cam3512 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 06, 2019, 01:19:58 PM »

I have ZERO desire to even attempt something like this. But, have great respect for those that do.
