Title: Sunday drive
Post by: Mudhen on November 01, 2013, 05:15:20 PM
My kind of a drive...

Awhile back I got my 'Saddle Sore 1000', which is the Iron Butt Motorcycle Association's entry level ride (1000 miles in 24 hours)...they also have a 50cc - coast to coast in 50 hours, which always seemed crazy.  But 28 hours?   :-\

Maybe we could start a 'historic' class!

There was a story on autoweek.com about the pre-war record......

But, ya! Heck of a trip.

Anybody see that episode of Fast N Loud [recent] where Richard was bragging about his run?
Then he bought the Jag!
