you mean like turning a 6 hour ride into a 12 hour one, who would do such a thing

No idea but I'm sure it was a fucking blast and they're anxious to do it again heading west.

So the iron butt went well and I can't wait to do another one. It's pretty much constant slab for me on those rides though. it'd be a bitch to get one done in time through twisties.

Yellow Wolf did 1001.7 miles on Deals gap

1001.7 miles"real"

55.69 gal of fuel

high mpg 22.8
low mpg 19.28

6 witnesses

slowest riding lap time 15.00 min.

fastest lap time and personal best 11:30 at 8pm after 2 hrs of riding

... Iron but wouldn't recognize it (you can't just do the same piece of road over and over again) some guy did the caculations...

Were this done at a constant rate, here's a likely breakdown...

* 318 turns * 2 legs = 636 turns per lap
* 52 laps * 636 turns = 33,072
* 33,072 turns in 24 hours
* 1,378 Turns per hour
* 22.9666... Turns per minute
* .382777... Turns per second
* One turn every 2.6 seconds for 24 hours straight
