For those familiar to the IBA, you know there are awards given out based on the number of “Stand Alone Certificates” you have accomplished.

The levels (Before this past weeks Jax dinner were:
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum (40 certs)
Titanium. (60 certs)
Diamond. (100 certs)
Black. (200 certs)
I post this not as a chest beating post, but as a source of humor. As some on this forum know, I have repeatedly claimed that I would be slowing down with “Just a few more rides that I want to accomplish” Well i am still sticking to that claim, but the first two of these were awarded in Jax:

For crying out loud. If they will give that cert to you, I guess they will give it to anybody!!! 😁

Well done jackwagon!

And I see you now have put more miles on FJRs than I. Bastard!

Congratulations on this great accomplishment, time for you to get up to Newfoundland it is such a great place to ride. Hope you don’t get too wet
 
1500 miles in 24 hours, that's impossible.
It's dangerous to do that on public roads.
I did that but I never sent in the paperwork.

Somebody always says this :poop: so might as well get it over with. 😈
 
1500 miles divided by 24 hours equals an average speed of 62.5 MPH.
Sounds IMPOSSIBLE indeed. :unsure:
Depends. Are we talking setting the cruise control rolling along the superslab, backside comfortably embraced in a custom saddle behind the windscreen on a farkeled-out litre-plus tourer, stopping for fuel only every 5 gallons or so?

Hey, if that's what floats your boat, have at it. But I know a lot of riders who giggle when they hear such riders claiming to be the "World's Toughest". Try 24 hours on a stock naked half-litre class or 1500 miles cross-country on an enduro.

Is it done within parameters? It counts. Whining because someone can't figure out how to document it, doesn't negate those who can.
