Topic: DOUBLE Iron Ass 2000+ Mile AMAZING Rider Club

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

It has come to my attention that we will have a select few amazing Relay riders that have gone to extraordinary measures to keep the Relay alive and make it happen. Some of these guys have ridden solo all or most of their journeys. Some of these guys will ride more than 1 leg and will repeat in another region when the opportunity becons. Please give it up for our Relay Heroes 

The title says it all. If you've earned it please post up here

 Thanks for posting those pics, especially Rocky Mountains, I really enjoyed reading your thoughtful and excellent log, its the next best thing to being there. Your solo riding in those deserted no-mans land in this GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS is epic! Sorry you hit some nasty weather towards the end, but it made for even more adventure!

The only problem I had with my bike was dropping the bike on Devil's Elbow, a really tight curve on the winding road, M119, in a stretch called the Tunnel of Trees.  Only damage to the bike was a dent in my fuel tank on the left side in the middle of my Honda emblem.  My Vetter Windjammer fairing got scratched up and the fairing mount was tweaked a little bit (this caused the lower on the left to hit the tank and hence the dent.)  We stopped for a photo shoot at the Mackinac Bridge and I removed the fairing and readjusted the mount and everything was good to go.  In that same stretch of M119 was where Ratracer dropped his bike on a curve that we have now named Tim's Shoulder.

Godzilla rode on my bike from interlochen for about 75 miles.
I rode in Godzilla's escort from Detroit to Kalamazoo and then from Kalamazoo to Milwaukee.

MJ,

Welcome to our little club  Ofreen will be here shortly and will probably take the lead.

[ofreen]

OK, my part in this is finished, so I'll chime in with the combined mileages for the Nevada-Utah leg, and the Montana-Wyoming-Idaho-Oregon portion.  Total Godzilla miles are 1954 1754.  All miles turned in during the course of the relay are 3554.

Thanks to Sean, Fred, Matt, Jerry, Terry, Craig, Steve, Kris, and last but not least, Mickey for hitting all the marks and making this doable.  It was a pleasure to meet you guys and you all did some great riding.  If you are ever riding through Idaho, look me up and let's ride.

I should also mention a certain amazing '75 750F that behaves as if it will run forever.  It did all the work, after all.  It will be back to the mundane task of hauling my ass back and forth to work in a couple of days, but it still makes a helluva good touring machine.  I may have more to say about that later.

Edit to correct GZ miles cuz I can't add

[Damfino]

Wow!! That makes you 'Triple Iron Ass' with a half gainer!! Nice work Greg, you are in a league of your own!!

[scottly]

AWESOME!!!

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Can't touch that! What else would we expect considering it's on a 1975 CB750F (oh yeah!) with 130,000+ miles. BUT, the bike couldn't do it without Greg on top! You are THA MAN! I bow to your accomplishments  The king of the Relay.

I don't think it was me.  More than a few times that bike has gotten me someplace where I didn't remember how I got there.  Like a good horse. 

Thanks you guys, but really I was just lucky to be able to have the time to do it.  And like I said, the bike did all the work, I just paid the bills.
