I just finished a wannabe Iron Butt, but I did it all wrong -- I didn't travel far enough, I didn't ride long enough, and the motorcycle's wheels were the only ones that were not on the ground! (The Eurovan's 2 pair and the trailer's 1 pair were.)
My 1971 Triumph Bonneville (with Marcia and Gary, who bought it new in England), just moments from leaving Phoenix forever.
A while back I posted a smugmug gallery about the bike. (When you reach page 3 of the gallery, dismiss the notion that Marcia and Gary looked younger in 1971.)
If I don't procrastinate and neglect to write it, I plan to post a journal of the trip and some miscellaneous thoughts that occurred to me during the days on the road. Watch this space.

(A "My Bike" entry will follow, once I get the bike running and roadworthy following its 18 years in mothballs! )
(Okay: It was 4,571 miles and 6.25 days, of which 1.0 day was spent visiting.)
