Ireland yes, Great Brittan no, but would love to, just to say I did.

Yes I've done it in a day. Left JOG at 4am rolled into LE at 8pm.

No, don't want to do it again.

Think there maybe a write up about it on here or a link to another forum where the write up is.

Found it.

Enjoy.

Do you mean doing it in one day/24 hrs/whatever? That doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Distance riding to me is about enjoying good roads and taking in the scenery and places of interest along the way. I don't like being under pressure to be somewhere or cover a certain distance in a limited time. Each to their own though.

I know what you mean. It didn't appeal to me either half way through the day but it's ticked off on my wish list. It was also day four of an outstanding six day tour of the UK.

Done it on a VFR750 and my old Fazer, mate of mine did it on his C90 and we both did 1000 miles inside 24hrs on C90's in 2013.
He's on the Iron Butt site, took him 22hrs 12min.

Thing is I live right in the middle and so it would be like doing it twice cause its half way to get to the start and then another half to get back from the end

Sorry I should of added one of these -  :lol   

My kids were moaning once about having to walk all the way around a lake and so I told them " ok instead we will only walk half way around and then come back" - they were happy with that !

Its even worse if you live in the south east like some of us. You end up doing a tour of the whole country.

[joebloggs]

Did it alone, four days from start to finish, would do it again, but not on that mobile bed of nails I sat on last time (ZX9RE1 seat)

Anybody fancy it next year?

Suggest Tshirts for entrants only

Those that already have....focin done it again

Those that haven't.....I've really focin done it now

[fazersharp]

I lived in the south east when I did it. SE London. That's way I broke the trip up to JOG over three days and the trip back from LE over two days.

I'd love to do [size=12pt]Le Jog[/size], If only I could convince the missus :uhuh
March and April are good months for low rainfall

That is some achievement 1000 miles in 22hrs 12mins on a C90, declared top speed for a C90 is 50mph so that is an average speed of 45.0445 mph, amazing

Can we do it last Monday and we would be home and dry by today

[esetest]

i would be interested in doing it , but over a week , avoiding the motorway , leaving  from Bristol  heading North east ( not done that coast ) to JOG , then back down the west coast , heading into North wales then south heading for Cornwall and LE then back to Bristol ,  meeting up with others along the way . 

[unfazed]

Would be much more interesting to do it avoiding Motorways, A road Motorways (eg. the A1(M)), tolls, ferries and major cities.

Will have to think about this and maybe take it on next year.

Going straight up is to easy and does not require a lot of thought.
