I made it!

I finally finished then IronButt 50 CC coast to coast riden in under 50 hours! I went on to finish a SS 3000 ride in under 72 hours. This also qualifies me for the Mile Eater Bronze status.

Congratulations! You've worked hard for it.

**MAS Tequila** · 07-22-2017, 10:09 AM

I can't imagine doing that on a 50cc bike.

Congrats

Congratulations! You have more endurance than I...

**BudMan** · 07-22-2017, 11:35 PM

Good for you Gene. You stayed at it and got it done.

Loafer · 07-23-2017, 01:27 PM

You went from coast to coast in 50 hours on a 50cc bike? What bike and what kind of seat did you use?

**JD Hog** · 07-23-2017, 04:17 PM

Congrats Gene

OldSchool · 07-23-2017, 06:12 PM

That is awesome. I think the 50cc one would be absolute fun,but with a little more time than that of course.

He probably ran alongside most of the way.

I remember when I was 17 I did a 50 cc ride, about 300 miles. I could hardly walk afterward.

Congratulations Gene!! You worked hard for that one... you deserve it!

And here I am just trying to finish the SaddleSore 1000!

I believe the 50cc is meant to indicate 50 hours Coast to Coast, not the size of the bike.

I don't care if you are driving a car, 50 hours Coast to Coast is quite an accomplishment. Especially since Gene lives in Oklahoma and has to drive half the country just to get to the start line.

I am guessing Gene rode his Valkyrie?
