No thanks. At the end of two days you'd have to stop to bury me. :cry2:

It's only 100 miles per day and there are probably quite a few that commute that much to work. Should not be too difficult if you want to do it.

Having met Paul Pelland at several Iron Butt outtings and the finish of the Iron Butt 2003 Rally, I'm in on this ride. All you need to do is complete 5000 miles within 50 days. So that could be just 5 days of riding for some (thousand mile days). Paul is a great guy and it's a great reason to ride. I'm doing this and hope others will also join up for this ride.

I'm riding in this event. Starting April 1st. I will also be doing a Saddlesore for the Tour of Honor on that day and another Saddlesore the following week , Cur Gran Memorial / Moonshine Ride to Eat Saddlesore 1000. I would appreciate any donations to MS webpage towards the goal. Also I hope to see others sign up to ride the MS5000. http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/ ... r_id=20434

Almost 2000 miles into the ride, doing this ride on a resurrected 1990 Voyager XII and enjoying every mile. Hope others will join in or donate to MS national charity. If anyone wants to contribute to Dion or myself follow the above links. We both would appreciate it. Currently working on an article about this involving the Mikey Bikey (aka 1990 Voyager XII) and the resurrection of this motorcycle and the rides for the MS5000 and Tour of Honor as well as Curt Gran Memorial Saddlesore (Moonshine Saddlesore) , for future Voyager's Voice viewing.
