Hello all,
All signed-up for my first Iron Butt (RBLR1000 2017, North clockwise). Hopefully my bike is the right tool for the job (ST1300) as I can't imaging doing half the distance on some of my previous bikes!
I've not really been without a bike since I was 16 years old although I have missed out on some bike-plans/trips over the years due to 24 years in the army and way too much sand. Well, I'm a firmly established 'civi' now so time to play catch-up.
Spent 3.5 weeks touring Europe (3,000 miles) a couple of years ago; that was on my Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 CT and it was a good tool for the job. I then had the Vulcan 2053cc but didn't fancy doing the same trip on that beast. The ST1300 is my second Pan; previously I had the 1100. Both have been good bikes.
Hopefully get to see a few of you sometime soon, somewhere.
P.S. I may be living in Corby but I'm NOT Scottish! A proud Yorkshireman spreading the good word of the North to the Southerners!!
