Gentlemen
Now I have done my rides.
First of I planned to do a BunBurner Silver. But failed with 3 hrs.
Went very well out from Norway and through Sweden, arrived in Kolding, Denmark, as planned. Problem was, I planned to meet a friend there, and the timing for our meet was not good enough, also he was delayed on his journey. Ending with my planned 4 hrs rest came out to be 6 hrs rest.
Also we missed on a couple of gas stations on our way. I had planned every gas filling, but 2 of the gas stations found on Google Maps was not there any more, took us time to find another for this. Finnished the BunBurner in 33 hrs, well within the time limit of 36 hrs.
My ODO showed a traveled distance of 2533 km, or 1573 Miles
My 2nd trip was the return on the same roads, after what I learned on the way down to Austria I found that it could be possible to do a BunBurner Gold, and I almost did.
Missed on a junction north of Berlin that cost me around 30 minutes. But worst of was my bikes loss of power in Denmark, it took me around 1,5 hrs to get teh bike running again. Still it looked good, it should be possible if I reduced on my gas-filling-breaks, planned 20 minutes stops was reduces to 8 minutes, an at arrival in Jönkjöping, Sweden, it still looked like I could make it according to my dash clock.
Arrived at home, in Brumunddal, Norway, and filled gas at 23 hrs 57 minutes, still according to my dash clock.
But when I checked my recept, I found that I was 32 minutes late, start- and end-receipt show that I spent 24 hrs 32 minutes .
Look like my loss of power in Denmark had altered the time on my Dash Clock.....
My ODO showed a traveled distance of 2466 km, or 1532 Miles
So, I end up with a ordinary BunBurner and a BunBurner Silver. I could maybe also apply for a SaddleSore 3000? Competed the 2 trips in 65 hrs total.
One Question to the more experienced ones here:
Can I sent in my applications now? Or should I wait till I get my fist one approved? I have already sent in my very first IronButt.
