The following Iron Butt Association notice was just released this afternoon:
QUOTE 11 riders have completed the first Los Angeles City 1000, or LA1K of common sense, as George Zelenz named this unique event.
Riders completed “17 laps of Hell A” (a reference to the hellish LA traffic) of some of the most insane traffic in the world all within the corporate city limits of Los Angeles. That is 1,021 safe miles through traffic that at many times was barely moving. Patience and smooth riding was the key to a safe finish. Not one accident, or close call, was reported and no one in the group got a ticket. What a dedicated and professional set of Iron Butt Association riders! Ray Blair CA 11/18/06 Honda GL1800 1,021 Al Ladner CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Tom Melchild CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Hal Risser CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Bob Mueller CA 11/18/06 Suzuki DL1000 1,021 David L. Hicks CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Tom Sperry CA 11/18/06 BMW K1200LT 1,021 Rosie Sperry (passenger) 11/18/06 BMW K1200LT 1,021 Steve Fry CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Holley Harrison CA 11/18/06 Honda GL1800 1,021 George Zelenz CA 11/18/06 Yamaha FJR1300 1,021 Out thanks also go out to our IBA team of witnesses that worked in three shifts to cover the 24 hour event clock. The first shit was handled by Frank Ziegler and Dave McQueeney. Mike Carter and Dennis Cunningham handled second shift with Dean Tanji, Sean Ward and Dave McQueeney handling the early AM Sunday morning duties. Without them, ground-breaking rides like this would not be possible. Next up on deck, the San Francisco 1000  Mike Kneebone -------------------- |
