Title: First Saddle Sore 1000 of the year
Post by: karstenp on June 22, 2014, 06:54:57 AM
Finally got off my lazy ass and rode my first Iron Butt Association Saddle Sore of the year on Friday (June 20).  I did the ride on my 92 FJ, using paper maps, rather than my heavily customized 07 FJR.  Left Kincardine, Ontario and did a loop north through Cochrane, Ont....about 1670kms in 19 hours.  Saw some black bears, and a moose....very little traffic.  It was a good day!  

Saw another FJ (I believe it was an 86) heading north on Hwy 69 just north of Britt Ont. at around 5:30pm.  Was that anyone from the forum?  Jake maybe?

Well done. Always good to get out and do some serious mile..

Will you be registering the ride?


Cheers

Perry,
Good deal!

I need to do another one on my latest FJ acquisition, just so it earns the right to wear the tag backing plate.

Hey Richard,

I will be registering the ride.  I like to register at least one ride per year.  I would like to get in a Lower Great Lakes 1000 ride in the coming weeks as well.
