Border to Border Insanity Iron Butt Ride

[turbodave_98]

[scheming mode on...

Keep opn scheming and forget about working!!, at least for a week of riding.

 

[skyway]

If heading north falls through due to bad weather, how about the 100CCC? Second time for you Dave I know, but we would probably have a better window of opportunity.

 

[skyway]

And as for you skiwi, have you turned in your paperwork for a little ride we did last July in the Nevada desert? I didn't think so, ya ******.

This would include another 2 IBA rides I haven't sent in. I have the evidence safely stored though.

Ian,With You, Hal, SkooterG, perhaps BlueStreek(Are you interested?) in, I feel that we will have to moderate our average 24 hour AVERAGE mph down to a SANE 65-70 mph or so!! You guys have a REPUTATION & established a benchmark that this VINTAGE rider would never be able to reach, PROBABLY!!<LOL> :clapping: :exclamation:

No need to get to carried away on this ride, though we would want to keep the average up, in case of any border delays. When I mean up, I don't mean warp speed either.

I just did a quick online check, and it looks like you can get a one-day, full-coverage insurance policy for Mexico for $20-$35:

• Adventure Mexican Insurance
• DriveMex.com
• MexPro.com

Most US motorcycle policies are either valid in Canada, or can have Canadian coverage added for little or no cost - YMMV.

You really dont have to be in Mexico long, just long enough to prove you were there, so insurance may not be nessisary.

Now if you want to get insurance, MexPro.com comes recommended by a fellow rider who has spent days traveling through Mexico. As a matter of fact, they are the ones I use whenever I've gone down to Mexico on my bike (which has only happened once to date).

tcfjr....are sure about the Canadian coverage?....our insurance companies cover us in the U.S. @ no extra cost....I would think it would be the same for you coming up to Canada....if your insurance company is reputable of course (snicker, snicker)....though for Mexico, extra insurance must be purchased....

Mexpro.com. As my gringo friend above says, they are the way to go. In fact, just this past weekend I bought a policy from them for THIS UPCOMING TWO DAY RIDE TO MEXICO. $36.36 for the two days including the optional travel assistance. They can be a little more expensive than some of the "on the border" places (I think), but are some of the few insurers that provide full coverage. (Including collision)

So what have all you California doods got against I-5?? :blink:

Almost the same mileage with much less chance of snow, at least in April.

Simple. We get to stop briefly in Vegas to see some jigglies and have a plate of Buffalo Wings.

 

[SkooterG]

I was talking about you, pendejo!

Since I have ridden into Mexico mucho more times than you have, that makes me more Mexican than you.

:****:

Oh please! I lived there sparky! Just because your cracker ass decided to travel down there twice doesnt make you jack ****! Come back and talk to me when you've spent a minimum of 9 years there.

I have several of the IBA Insanity certs but want to add at least another to my experiences, therefore;I am planning to do the B to B on or about 13-15 April 2007. It will run from perhaps Calexico Mexico to SweetGrass Montana with it being a mostly slab run on I 15 thru Las Vegas. Salt Lake to Canadian Border. If you also want to get credit for a BBG 1500 Insanity(must have completed at least an IBA certified Saddle Sore 1k) then you can get both the BBG and BB Insanity. There will be no following support vehicles for this ride. It will be a rain or shine, warm or cold or whatever event. PM me if you are interested in giving me some company. Thanks in advance :yahoo:

Hay Dave, I've been sitting here patiently waiting for you and Hal to get around to doing this ride. Count me in. :hyper:

 

[skyway]

Bah! Since I've yet to send in my paperwork from Ian's SSK and my subsequent BB, I'm out on this one (unless someone has some pull with Kneebone & Co. Wink, wink.)
Sniff.

Just for you TWN, I sent Mike Kneebone a request today for certificates for us to be handed out on site upon successful completion of the ride and he says no problem!! :yahoo:

I will need to organise a suitable end witness for this though and have just the person in mind.



Your not getting out of it that easy TWN.
