Did it! Got my SaddleSore cert. The guys at Minuteman Rally put on a great ride, had 73 total riders at the SS1k and the 24 hour Rally. Depending on where you were there was some significant rain. I'm still trying to catchup on my sleep. :yahoo:

That would have been a great idea Mike...where were you before my ride? Oh, that's right, you were doing your own SS1k. Congrats to you also. I've got to find my security alen wrench with the hole in it so I can mount my plate tonight. :yahoo:

with the package, did you get the double plate with IBA on top and SS1000 on bottom

that's the plate I want

waiting sucks...I wish there was a ss1000 rally closer than another ss1000 to get to the nearest one

Check out www.rallythevoid.org

Scott (and Gary still I guess?) put on a fun event in October that finishes in Lynchburg, VA with 'remote' starting locations in KY and GA (and PA, but I think KY or GA would suit you better)

Then of course, there's the Not Superman rally out of southeastern MO (last I heard anyway) google it and you will find it I'm sure. Rallies are great fun!

I paid a rally fee ($125 I think) that included dinner and brunch and if you complete the run you get your pins plate etc at the awards brunch. The rider was free to pick the route they wanted to take as long as the 'four corners' were covered. The ride included over 300 miles of secondary roads because there are no east/west interstates across New England. I will take a pic tonight after work and post it up.

That might not work because New England riders think that a bike with over 5k miles is shot... :blink:

Yes, there were a few places. We had over 300 miles of secondary roads. I could do without seeing New Haven or Hartford in the middle of the night again.
