Finally after MONTHS of waiting, two weekends ago Lee (the_other) John (big poppy) and myself, FINALLY got these in the mail...  We all knew it takes months for them to review your application, and verify everything...but it still seemed like an eternity waiting for everything... and although we all KNEW we HAD done it...somehow this makes it official!  Unforgettable Ride, Unforgettable companions, congrats guys!

I rode from here to Cody Wyoming straight through it took 36 hrs,that should qualify I would think. Especially since it was on a hard tail with a springer front end. Done quite a few like that on that same bike but not quite as far. Did Orlano Fl from here straight through same with Sturgis and Madi Gras and several other and a couple more than once. I don't ride like that anymore, Wendys back won't do it.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Congrats to you all. That's quite a ride.

who needs a therapist,the voices in my head keep me company. They also told me to stay home and clean the guns today. What I need to know about life I got from killing smart people and eating their brains.
