My pal Snot will tell Helmutt who is a mod to delete the offending posts for me. If he refuses no more sammiches for him.

Ok just got home and got out my hotel bill. It shows check in time, city state and date.  I think that will be fine.  Rest of you look for the 8x11 sheet you got that first night from the Quality Inn. It has everything you need.

All the anecdotal evidence I've seen through the years over on the FJRforum indicates the IBA to be really reasonable when it comes to certifying SS1000s. Provide them with the proof you have and I bet all will be fine. I bet your hotel receipt will work along with the witness you used at the check in desk.

I only wrote down my START and End Mileage but no matter how I figure it out we went 82 miles farther then what my odometer read. So I will leave the mileage blank except for the start and finish and send them all of the receipts and hotel receipts and hope that is enough plus a check.

I sent the IBA the information concerning the lack of address on the last gas receipt. We should be OK.

When forwarding the application to IBA, be sure to include a copy of the hotel receipt and an explanation of what happened. A printed off copy of your credit card charges from that day would also be beneficial. It would prove the location of the last gas stop.

im going to wait till the weekend to get my shit in order ive got too much going on right now and i don't want to fuck it up

That's about the same boat I'm in. Too much crap to do. Bike odometer states 1,114 and GPS states 1134.8. Took a pic of odo at start and GPS along with odo at motel just after last gas stop. Wish I would have taken a pic at every gas stop. The moments feature on an iPhone shows your exact location of where the pic was taken.

So I got gas in the car today. Caught myself checking the receipt for time and location.

I’m not going to worry about getting the Iron-Butt award If they deny it that will give me and excuse to go back next year and see some of the places we did not get to see.

 

 

:lol: finally go my bike washed, made my boy do it for lying to his mom ;)

I spent about 6 hours cleaning my bike and putting the bling parts back on I took off for the trip Tuesday only to ride home from work for an hour in a thunderstorm Friday.

I thank you guys for the input on rider position while cornering I will try it and see if the position of the dirt bag on the bike really makes a difference. LOL

I have only had one day off work since we got back I will try to send everything in this Friday if I get a chance. I still have not even looked at any of the video of the trip I took. My coworker comes back to work today so things should get running a little smother now. We should do this again next year and hit some of the places we missed this year I would like to spend a little more time in the Keystone area next time.
