If you want to put the IBA license plate frame on your Dyna, you should ride it. A friend of mine did a SS1K on a Ducati 916. He couldn't move for three days when we finished!

I don't think it matters what bike, or whos bike you ride... just be certain to get signed out and signed in and document all your stops along the way. I am an Iron Butt Member.

I did my SS solo the year before last. Stay hydrated and alert. Check out the IBA website for advice on distance riding.

I am hoping to do a BB1500 this year.
