According to the site its not even water resistant.

Ive never used it in the rain. If its more than a sprinkle its coming out of there lol

Yea I'm thinking for my trip I will inevitably be in rain at some point. But I'll still have to know where I'm going! Maybe I'll just break out the old fashioned map haha

Safe travels and enjoy the ride. Kudos to Kevin for offering to take mascot off your hands and to have a stopping point. Too bad you can't stop and see Dusty riding his pink scooter

my riding buddy keeps pushing me to do this... just too far for one day even with my soft seat! I am impressed by anyone who can do it. good luck- we are all with you in spirit - post up pics and your results !

Nice!!!... I did the Iron butt a couple years ago on my Iron.. great fun... the last 200 miles are definitely tough... avoid heavy meals or any kind of food that might potentially upset your stomach..

Good luck and post pictures!... :-)

I've had an iPhone in that tank case for hours in a downpour and it stayed dry. Have a good ride Rog.
