I hear you FatherTme; I'm just liking it for the challenge. Most IBA rides are completed on a HD. I'd thought for sure it was BMW. Regardless I didn't want to piggyback my 1500 mi on the 1000. It was weird when I was 80% complete I phoned my wife to tell her I was fine and we spoke of the 1500 as well.

But I did some Google maps work and found a few possibilities for the 1500.

I'm hoping to challenge the 1500 next year, but I don't have too much time next year.

I gotta win the lottery or something. Ha ha.
