I'm loving this thread

 

 

Sorry to see you wrecked the Sporty but glad the injuries were minor.

I currently have 234,000 miles on my 2006 Sporty. I killed the engine at 206,000 last year when the cardboard seal from a quart of oil fell into the oil tank un noticed and blocked oil flow


Just did a 1600 mile ride through New England. I happen to have a photo of the odometer from the start of the trip because I started a mileage challenge Saturday (MS5000 - 5000 miles in 50 days). The receipt documents that the mileage was from Saturday

 

cacomly,
What seat and back rest are you running?

 

Mustang Wide Touring

 

Thanks.

 

I'm running the same model seat and backrest. Just finished a 1400 mile ride to a flat track race in Mechanicsburg Pa, then down to Asheville NC and a visit to Wheels through Time then back home. The seat worked great!

Good fun...

Looks like a fun trip, however you missed a photo of Brett Donahue's Sportster which is one of two to have completed the iron Butt Rally

 

I know! I realized after the fact. I would have sworn I had pictures of it. I guess I was too busy checking it out, I failed to get any pics...

The trip was awesome.

I was all over that bike trying to see how he plumbed in the aux fuel tank. Turns out he did the same thing I did with mine which isn't surprising as there are only so many ways to do so.

I'm sure it was a great ride. Wheels thru Time is a cool place and I am looking forward to going back
