Kudos to Brett. I agree, let's find his e-mail address and get him to join the forum. That is, if we can get him off his bike for 5 minues.
I just sent the following email to Brett Donahue:
Hello Brett Donahue,
Congratulations on your 3rd place standing in the 2007 Iron Butt Rally. That is an amazing accomplishment. You make Sportster owners/riders like myself proud.
I'm inviting you to join a very popular Harley Davidson forum (www.hdforums.com) that I and 42,000+ other members enjoy. My login name is "Blackbird". Hope you can join us in swapping stories and having some fun.

"Of the 97 motorcycles entered, there are 42 BMWs, 27 Hondas, 14 Yamahas, 5 Suzukis, 3 Kawasakis, 3 Harley-Davidsons, 1 Buell, 1 Triumph, and 1 Victory. The oldest is the 1972 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide ridden by Mark Collins. The newest are the 2008 Kawasaki Concours 14 ridden by Chris Cimino and the 2008 Victory Vision ridden by Andy Mills.
Of the Hondas, the majority are Wingabagos (mostly GL1800s, 2 GL1500s, and an ancient GL1000), and of course, the ST13/ST11's." Source
