littlecat Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 not a prayer mate, much as i do love riding, 800 in a weekend is quite enough for me , a thousand in less than 24 hours would cripple me.good luck if you decide to go ahead tho, keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Any bike is suitable, it has over the years been done on anything from a C90 to Rocket III's, that diverse I had an XV1100 Dragstar, I would avoid anything that you can't move around a bit on, that said plenty of sports bikes have done it.

newbikergm Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Read up on the event last night - great cause and a hell of a challenge.I've only been riding 5 months, and my longest trip was 1200miles over 4 days which knackered me. So I honestly don't think I could do this, but have great admiration for anyone who can. I'd be happy to sponsor you if you're going for it chaps.

cbr-chaps Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 the only thing I would say is there are too many motorway miles, I would have used the a68 not the a1 some nice twistys on there , but ye just trying to assemble a team to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 For the RBLR Saddlesore 1000 you can use any route you like but you have to visit the compulsory points and get proof (receipt for fuel or goods), the idea of having pre-planned routes is to make it easier. You only need to average 42mph and it is not a race. Safety is paramount and if you finish in less than 17hrs you will be disqualified as you must have been exceeding the speed limit.
