    Default 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:
    ---------------------------------
    " Dear Forrest Jamison:

    certification. This note is to let you know that your ride has been
    approved and although your ride documents may take a few more weeks to

    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.
    Happy Spyder owner.

    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.

    I did about 1/3 that distance in 10 hours on Saturday and was feeling OK but don't think I'll be up to trying your time/distance for a while yet. Good on ya!
