Witness for a IBA 50CC start

[Bubba1]

I will be starting a 50CC from San Diego to Jacksonville tomorrow (12/24) around noon.  If there are any San Diego area IBA'ers that would witness my start it would be appreciated. I'm staying in the Mission Valley La Quinta Inn, my cell is 971-241-4999.  Hope to meet a fellow IBA member.

Ken,

Here is a link to the list of approved witnesses:

You know you can be witnessed today, and then just get your receipt by yourself tomorrow AM to start the 50CC, right.

If you need it, my wife and I will drive down and sign witness forms for you.

Christmas 50 cc   good luck with the weather.

We will need a full ride report.  

(And a list of reasons why you decided to do this  )

[county]

Well, it is about 50 hours later than your start time???

i always hope that 50CC is in reference to the displacement.

i'll be the first ST.N member to iron butt on a moped though, mark my words.

Well I think a 50CC on a 50cc is physically impossible if my dimly remembered math word problems are correct.

Hummm... did the math:

San Diego, CA to Jacksonville, FL is 2,343.38 miles. At a (generous for a 50cc scoot) average speed of 50mph it would take ~47 hours non-stop riding to accomplish. Not counting fuel, food, sleep, and top end rebuilds.

Even a SaddleSore 1000 is pretty far out there at 20 hrs.

[county]

Well, I hope Bubba did not die.

What's the story, morning glory?  Didjah make it?

[doug5551]

Bubba posted up on the Goldwing Forum.

I believe he made it to Texas and stopped because of the weather....

[nantahala]

Certainly understandable.  Ride safe.

I learned something today.

Jeebus these people start these threads and don't follow up so we think they have died.  Thanks doug for letting us know what happened.

Sorry guys, forgot I had posted here.  Doug was correct, I made it to San Antonio but no farther.  The ride into San Antonio wasn't too bad, dry but pretty cold, the electrics worked as advertised but when I was ready to leave San Antonio for Jacksonville the WX ahead was pretty bad, not only cold but very wet.  That's when I decided to pack it in and try again later, I can handle cold, I can handle wet, and I can handle night, any two of 'em is ok but with all three at once it stops being fun.  BTW a couple of weeks after returning home I broke a bone in my foot and I'm still limping a little. I've been able to get a boot on for a few weeks now and I'm going back to San Diego for the MTF 50CC starting May 5th.  I will remember to report making it this time.

What's a little bit of Rain... I really need to write my my 50CC that I took Jan. 2, 2009 from SD to Jacksonville... it rained nonstop from Baton Rouge to Tallahassee... I even snapped pic's of the Weather Channel of the Radar showing the Storm. What a Blast I had!
