Default IronButt verification time


I submitted everything that was required for a 1111 mile ride 7 of us did in June in under 20.5 hours a week after we got back I have not heard a thing back yet can anyone tell me how long it takes them to verify the ride and is there a way to find out if they even got the paper work. Thanks

When we did ours a couple of summers ago it took a few months to get everything back. This is their busy time and I think it is all volunteers so no one is full time.

I heard they won't process your packet until you promise to break up your sentences with periods. .

I did mine in April so it only took about 2 weeks to get everything in the mail. Not many Ironbutters in the spring I guess Just looked, Im one of only 3 sportsters that have done it this year so far

And Jonesee. Never again. I hate riding interstates and this was ALL interstate. The most boring, mind numbing blah ride Ive ever taken. I really dont see how people enjoy interstate riding.

If you go to the ironbutt forum and do some browsing, you'll find that rides done early in the year get processed quickly; rides done over the summer months can take up to four months to get processed.

Kind of a pain considering that they require a check; my checking account hadn't had an actual check written on it for nearly five years--now I have to mentally subtract the $46 every time I check my balance while waiting for that one check to clear.
