[QUOTE="frogpirate, post: 641095, member: 5775"] My first IBR I rode 700 miles home the next day - in time for dinner IIRC. I rode the bike one more time the next day, and then parked it more-or-less for 3 months. My second IBR was a 2000 mile ride home, I took 2 days for that one. And then sold the bike and swore off LD Rally's. Which lasted maybe 6 months. I had a serious bout of depression after the '07 IBR. I made a huge point-loosing mistake that cost me something like 25 finishing positions. After spending 2 years of vacation money and time, as well as spending most of a year and a half prior in prep, I felt I'd screwed the pooch. Yes, there were extenuating circumstances, but it was still my screw up. After the banquet I almost cried myself to sleep. Being exhausted didn't help. Would I do it again? Hell yes, and I'd spend every dime my credit card could handle to do it. I'm addicted, fsk AA, I'm perfectly happy the way I am. Nancy congratulations on an awesome ride! [/QUOTE]
