Any Questions?

First, I don't know if I'll be doing this this year, it depends on a lot of things, but I WILL be doing this next year!

Local guys did something they called "Track Butt" in one of the local tracks (Kemora Raceway) in 2004 and 2005. In those 2 events 2 guys have done over 2000 km in 24 hours equalling over 730 laps in a 2723 meter track. IMHO that's a bit tougher task than any Iron Butt cruise, with some painkillers I could propably do IBA 1000 miles (I've done a couple of 700 mile days on a 1000RR), but 2000 km on track, I'd never be able to do that. In 2004 "Track Butt" they had 3 hours of huge rain, 8 hours of wet track and 1 guy still managed to do over 2000 km, 2011 km to be exact. And BTW, he was riding a turbo-R1, a real long-distance runner in wet conditions

CHEATER! , when you get stopped you just have to flash a badge and be on your way, not wait for the ticket like the rest of the riders.

Never happen.


Actually, this isn't one of the superslab "butt's", it's as much twisties as one can take. They're limiting the number of major highway drone to the bare minimum.

It's a group starting from Lancaster, in a giant loop.


No 1st places, just try to hit the time constraint. It seems the organization is being run by some middle-agers with positive attitudes, so I doubt reckless riding will be condoned.

I can't imagine the IBA sanctioning something which promotes recklessness, they take "marathon" riding safety pretty seriously.

It will be interesting.

Not on this bike, unless I'm running from my wife or my mom. Then the adrenaline might get me through it.

Couldn't swing it this time, damnit, but WILL the next time...

On the morning of July 8 2006, 28 brave motorcyclists set out to ride 1077 miles of California's most challenging and technical roads, in 24 hours or less. We took the SaddleSore format and pushed it to the limit. The 2006 SBA Sport 1000 was a thrilling success. Much fun was had, camaraderie was in full spirit, and many new friendships were established. We'd like to thank all of the riders for participating in our first event. We can't wait for next year and the 2007 SBA Sport 1000... but you won't have to wait that long for the next SBA event....
