    Caught up with a good friend and Iron Butt rally UK president.

    His Triumph tiger 800 is only 18 months old but has covered 60000 miles. His last 3 trips (apart from going to Fowlers for a warrenty issue) he has covered 25k. Which included 11k in 10 days doing the US iron butt rally. Covering every mainland state in the US.
    Just wanted to share a few pics

    I don't know how he does it. Will leave work on a Friday night, travel to Prague to meet a few mates and get home on the Sunday evening.

    That is impressive!

    Is that 2 satnavs he has, and what is the orange thing in the middle?

    That is a "spot". Gps in case of an emergency. If you go extreme is the one to use and emergency services will find you

    he's got a Spot 1 and 3. The Spot 1 is in the pics. he has a arm mounted Spot 3 and thank god never needed to use either. Costs £100 a year insurance if he need's to use it. Well worth it for the traveling he does
