Having watched trackday junkies spot in 2014, i just feel sorry for his bike....
At the end of the day, its doesnt matter who has done what, on what, with whom, the whole point of the rblr 1000 is to raise money for the british legion riders.
Which is a huge passion of mine.
If it takes you 35 hours and 59 minutes, so what! and a minimum time must be set, coz we can all go at a pace, (most of my friends didnt believe i could do 1500 mile in 24 hours, even less believe phils 3000 miles in 48 hours)
Anyway, ride safe people, and remember why the ride is organised, and remember, the people running it, all volunteer, and without them, nothing would happen.
