[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 974805, member: 20220"] The SS1K is the entry level LD ride. It's meant to be a challenge that most riders won't even attempt but not to be something that experienced LD riders find extremely difficult. It's entry level and designed to either hooked someone or let them know that this isn't for them without them pushing themselves to dangerous levels. You talk about the SS1K as if it's the end all be all of the IBA rides, and it's far from that. It's just the teaser, the basic qualification to prove you are on an insane enough level to take it further. I see no harm in doing it on the slab on a goldwing. If you want to make the SS1K harder, then make it harder, or go for harder certifications. I do know of one even that I can't remember the name of but it circles one or more of the great lakes and you have to do it like on an old small motorcycle. No good highways to completely make it around so it's 2 lane roads on an old small bike. That's the way to prove it if you want I think. [/QUOTE]
