The Iron Butt Association is dedicated to safe, long-distance, endurance
motorcycle riding. Although based in the United States, they have over
24,000+ members world-wide. The Iron Butt Association (IBA) does not
have membership in the traditional sense. The IBA is a little more loose
knit organization than most clubs. Generally speaking there are several
ways to earn membership. One of the most common methods of entry into
the IBA is to complete one of the rides they sponsor, such as the
“Saddlesore 1000” (1000 miles in less than 24 hours).
200 bikes & bikers are needed, who are happy to trundle around the UK and are happy to seek sponsorship for their feat of daring do, and as long as 80% complete the ride, the record will be broken.
For safety and managerial reasons, 200 is also the upper limit. Entrance to the rally will be on a first-come, first served basis, so be sharpish about getting those entry forms in. Entry closes on 31st May 2009.
Mike Kneebone (the chairman of the IBA) has established that the world record for the number of “Saddlesore” rides done concurrently is 156. Also Roger Allen, the president of the UK and European Iron Butt Association (http://www.ironbuttuk.org/index.html) is happy to support a UK attempt on this record.
