Marek Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Leaving at midnight - that's what I call a real man. I would have been asleep by 1AM - on or off the bike. Be save and drink vitamin water - Link to comment
Marek Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Just spoke with Danny he is in Tallahassee refueling the bike and himself. Once he gets out of Florida he will feel a lot better. Mark Link to comment

Francois_Dumas Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 50cc here means a small bike for which no real license is needed. I think Danny is on something different? What's this, a new Iron Butt sort of record attempt? Does sleeping has a place in it ?? Link to comment

What's this, a new Iron Butt sort of record attempt? Does sleeping has a place in it ?? Francois, Long answer short it's a fifty hour coast to coast ride setup by the individual as part of the membership of the IB association. If the rider cares to bend the speed limit a bit he may be able to cram a nights sleep into those 50 hours. They usually start in Florida and end in California to maximize daylight. Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ah, makes sense. I do that once a month...... Of course it only takes ME an hour and a half to reach the other side of the country Link to comment
Marek Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 If the rider cares to bend the speed limit a bit he may be able to cram a nights sleep into those 50 hours. They usually start in Florida and end in California to maximize daylight. You don't have to go over the speed limit by more than 5 mph if that. I did mine in 33 hours of riding that meant I had 17 hours for other stuff like sleeping on the picnic table. Whip said I wasted 17 hours. Danny can do it with time to spare, 3 hours he slept in Florida will be deducted for 17 hours he had. That leaves plenty of time for snuggling with Whips dogs. GO DANNY - Mark Link to comment

Marek Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 there is a long way of nothing left of San Antonio - but I sure can recommend couple of picnic tables. I tried to call him but he is not answering - that a good sign. Mark Link to comment

alimar Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'm left writeless at the support, encouragement, teamwork... Just last night, late, I read the entire December 06 posting of Richards 50cc. What a tale, what support, what a group of great people here. Important to life is simple. Enjoy, help one another. So now after having read of Richard’s tale and the meet with the JAX three and an overnight (or two) with Danny I’m left wondering just what Danny might be chasing after…? (sorry – couldn’t resist the connection). Then on a serious note, I’m cheering for Danny too. This is too cool… Ride on Danny. Ride safe and I hope your caught by a left coast team that are as accommodating as you were to Richard in JAX. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 APB needed!!!! Danny, where are you?????? Phone goes straight to voice mail. 50 hours is approaching rapidly. Spoke with Matt earlier today and it looks like you have a little less than 2 hours to go. Buehler???? Buehler?????? Link to comment
