Lynda - just finished reading the book and have recommended to my wife who has also completed a rally as a pillion and many other IBA rides with me. I missed out on the free offer; but it was well worth the purchase price. I highly recommend this book to both riders and pillions - not only does it provide additional insight to the Iron Butt Rally and the Association as a hole; but is also a great guide for relationship building, care, and maintenance. Thank-you for sharing your experiences!
