we completed IBA saddle sore 1000 with 4 riders, 4 bikes( Hayabusa, ZX-14, Blackbird and a CBR250) even if it was cold, everyone had fun and arrived safely home.

The plan this year is as follow:
June 20-24, 2013
Toronto to Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum Alabama via Northbay and Sault St Marie

Day 1(Thursday): 4:00 AM - 10 PM
A :Toronto - North Bay - 3 hrs - 321 km= 200 mi
B: North Bay - Sault St Marie - 5 Hrs. - 435 km =270 mi
C: Sault St Marie - Indiniapolis - 8 hrs - 870 km =540 mi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 hrs riding + 2 hrs stops (6x 15 min gas/snack break, 1x 30 min lunch break)
= 18 hrs - 1625 km = 1010 mi

Motel/Hotel in Indiniapolis
8 hrs maximum stay.

Day 2 (Friday): 6:00AM- 3:00 pm
Indianapolis to Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum- 7 hrs - 495 mi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 hrs riding time + 2 hrs ( 3x 15 min gas break, 30 min Lunch break , 45 min buffer time allowance)
= 9 Hrs - 797 km = 495 mi

4:00 PM end IBA enjoy the museum till 6:00 PM

Day 3 to Day 4 (Saturday and Sunday) go home via Tail of the Dragon US 129 (318 curves in 11 miles)



If anyone is interested in this ride there are option if you don't want to do the 1500 miles by either skipping Sault St Marie or Barber Motorsport Museum.

All you need are:
- reliable bike
- rain gear
- iron butt
- smile

1st priority is Safety
2nd is to have fun
Least priority is the IBA goal
