Paul will attempt to be the first person to document riding 1000 miles in under 24 hours on 100 different bikes!

He's switching bikes every 10 miles? Documentation error danger is high. When I first read your post, I mistakenly thought he was doing 100 SS1000s. That would have been insanely hard, even for an IBR finisher. I wish him luck on the ride.

Yeah. The idea kinda fits his sense of humor. I mean, he did try to ride the Iron Butt Rally on a Ural (sans sidecar).

An acquaintance did the Great Lakes Gold on a 250 Nighthawk in under 50 hours too, but that doesn't mean he's right in the head either.

We didn’t really get rolling until about 4:45, partly because the 24 hour gas station wasn’t open yet, I guess I should have asked if the 24 hours were in a row...

My wife suffers with Multiple Sclerosis. Some days going from bed to the living room feels like a 1000 miles. This guy is awesome and I wish him well.
