Listen in as we discuss in detail what it takes to complete an Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley. I have guests Jonathan “Fuente” Holen and Rob “Lawdog” Layman on the mics. Both have completed an Iron Butt Challenge. The Iron Butt Association is dedicated to safe, long-distance motorcycle riding.
The Iron Butt Association website is detailed and there are specific instructions and rules to follow if you're considering a certified Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley. They also have lists of verified rides and riders that have completed a challenge on the website. They have rides and routes setup or you can create your own ride that will take you wherever you want to ride.
There are small fees to enter a certified challenge and everything needs to be verified before you make the website list. You'll have to keep gas receipts with times and locations and have certain documents signed for later verification.
The Iron Butt Association has about 60,000+ members and is based in the United States, however, they have thousands of members throughout the globe!
If you are considering an Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley then you absolutely must listen in to this podcast episode. Rob and Jonathan will give you inside details about doing a challenge. They share important tips, tricks, and insights on what it takes to complete a challenge. They share things you should do and should not do. They share in-depth information about what they learned and what they would do differently on their next Iron Butt Challenge on a Harley.
A great resource that was mentioned that many Iron Butt Challenge riders use is SpotWalla to track their travels. SpotWalla is a secure personal location manager that supports a wide range of satellite- and cell-based tracking technologies. It puts you in control of your personal, private location data so you have complete control of your degree of exposure.

I am not a Patreon yet but considering. I enjoy your Utube videoes and just currently started to listen to your podcasts. Only listened to 4 so far but this one talking about Iron Butt rides was most enjoyable. I think I agreed with everything all 3 of you spoke of. Safety is the most important but also sometimes the hardest thing to place as top priority the farther into the run you ride. Proper Hydration, nutrition and rest is something I’ve personally been learning about myself. I have been blessed to ride a lot the last 3 years and learn firsthand how I prepare today affects the next day. I’ve done 2 IBA rides certifide and a few more undocumented. But I do many other long distance runs without any IBA goal in mind. But the same preperation is required to do any long distance. I don’t mean to sound like I have it figured out cause I learn new things every trip. That’s how I came accross your media work while googleing to learn more. I do 98% of my riding alone just do to different lives and schedules. So I agree with you guys when you speak of how the number of riders will affect the time or speed of a run. After this podcast I have added the Bunburner 1500 Gold to my list in 2019. I’m in North Dakota so my ride season a little time away. Thanks for the videos and info.
Very cool and thanks for the comments!!
