IRON BUTT.... got it ...
Well my effort apparently paid off..
When I left Kissimmee, Fl to attend the LA owners evenst, I decided to try for the Iron Butt certificate.
Well, From Kissimmee, Fl to Pearcy, AR, 1,140 miles later and 21.5 hours I completed the trip.
Turned in my paper work and today received the Following:

Way to go Forest; an accomplishment for sure. I'll stick to a slower pace stretched over time. Now you have that down you can sit back and enjoy the rides.

Congratulations, I will be applying after my ride to Gatlinburg....

Great job! You are an inspiration to us all!
I did an Iron Butt on a 1993 Kawasaki Voyager in 1994, but that was never official. Maybe I can convince Kjen to do one with me on the Spyder soon. It's really not that hard. Just need to time your start so as to make your finish easier. I did the one in 1994 in 19 hrs, 20 min, along with 2 other riders (with their wives, I was solo).
2008 GS SE5 in 2008
Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
2010 RT SM5 in 2011
Traded at 57,000 for a left over
2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!
Never had any breakdown stranded issues.
