Iron Butt, improper use of name?

[JAORE]

The following popped up on my Face Book page as a suggested group to join:

It is the "Iron Butt Long Distance Motorcycle Riders". The name was adopted August 24. 2022.

I clicked on the link. Out of LA, appears unrelated to any official IBA account.

I don't know if this is the best avenue to inform the IBA, but thought it worth a shot.

I've asked Mike to check it out. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I requested permission and recognized a few names. I suspect it's a legit group.

I checked with Mike, This is NOT the IBA FB page. Mike is putting in the paperwork to require them to cease using "Iron Butt".
