Well, you'll need to add few more Kms here & there; I'll find out a best route for you.

@av3ng3r: Shashank! Welcome to XBHP bro!

Ur right..I gonna try it again, just need to get the bike properly tuned and get some new rubber under the tank to dampen the viberation. You never know...the next attempt may happen sooner than you think

@ttusharz: Mumbai-Nashik-Mumbai? cool man

thats nice.
@Ketan: Thanks mate

@kashif: Thanks dude

@ramesh: Thanks bro! Hope to make it soon.
@satan: A P220 can smoke 1700kms much faster, from my experience on rides where Pulsars accompany i noticed that they need oil top ups quite frequently. Other than that no issues at all. Go for it! My thy will be done!

Congratulations Incubus!
The entire log shouts of your "Power of Determination". What if you haven't got an IBA SaddleSore certificate.You have already earned our respects. Plus the experience you have got is way beyond any certificate.

Best wishes for the 2nd attempt.
Even I am interested in a SaddleSore Attempt.Let me know when you plane next.May be I can club in.

Superb. that's what i can say. attempting the IBA on a 24 year old machine underlines your GUTS ! your determination to do it on a Legend is appreciable. having attempted the IBA in Oct 2009 (couldn't get the certification due to end witness problems) , i should tell u one thing. the rule of the thumb for IBA is you should always try to be between 100 - 120 kph. and should plan every fuel stop & butt breaks in ADVANCE. and most important thing is if u want to attempt it again on an RX again, u should definitely tweak the Secondary drive. go for a smaller sprocket (Rear-2 or 3 teeth less) so u can gain some top end, u may loose some time during roll-on's but definitely profit form top speeds.

or else the P 220 is always there, IMHO its the best bike after Ninja 250 for timed rides like this. Good luck for your second attempt.

I am sure you had one hell of a ride. Just out of curiosity, did you submit a copy of the documents to IBA?

A question for all. Since I have never sent any correspondence to IBA, from their website I was given to understand that you need to put all your documents along with a $45 cheque.
Can someone please clarify if the information is accurate or is there another way? In case of rejection is there a refund or what are the various senarios faced.

ROYD bhai...awesome effort!!!

**nav75** · 11-10-2010, 01:04 AM

Well done on the ride.

In the world of biking one would find the word saddlesore know for maniac biker's who would complete long distances at a stretch.

Maniac = An insane person. / A person who acts in a wildly irresponsible way. (as per the meaning by dictionary). Have you used the correct superlative here?

Also, looking at the list of rides by IBA, SS1600K is one of the easiest of ride.

The thought behind the decision:

I had read a lot of articles on saddlesore rides and came across the Iron Butt Association (IBA) which recognizes the hardcore riders.
From my searches on the net I had not found any maniac who had even tried to complete 1700Kms on a 100CC

I think you missed looking at the IBA' site. Following person is acknowledge by IBA to having completed not just SS but also BB on the smallest bike. A 49cc, single cylinder, 2st.
Robert Munden Windsor, ON 03/05/09 1990 Honda NS50F!! 1,015
Robert Munden Windsor, ON CANADA 07/02/08 Honda NS50F 1,604 49cc!
* * * smallest motorcycle to complete the Bun Burner 1500 * * *

Just one suggestion, get a decent headlamp than the stock RX100's headlamp for such a ride and good luck for your next run.

No, i didn't, because the end witness is very important as it confirms the time, date & location.
will be attempting IBA again in Nov or Dec 2010

Sure mate

Got the point.

My reference of the search was limited to India and not the globe.

Thanks for the suggestion...have been looking around for options

Incubus

As everyone else, I am amazed that you rode 27 hours non stop on a 3 decade old bike.
But I would like to spoil the fun here by saying that you are very stupid to do that. You know yourself that you put yourself in grave danger for a certificate. Please dont attempt anything similar again. You were extremely lucky to return unhurt. God may not be that kind second time around.
