Wow, this is pretty tempting. I've done 5000 in 10 days easily twice now, and I was sight seeing. If I could find a sponsor to help defray some of the costs, I would consider this.

I sold a helmet to John Ryan. He could do that in his sleep!

Entry says $1250 OTD ($1000 ride and $250 for the GPS unit)...

Not bad if you can get a sponsor. 100 people pitching in $20. Or 200 people pitching in $10. May be close enough to defray your hotel costs for the event. You'd just have to cover food (~$20/day * 9 days = ~$200) and gas (which at 38mpg and $4/gal = ~ $740) -- so Raise $2000, and then chip in $1000 of your own + vacation time.

I'll spend my vacation days and the seat time on the bike if y'all raise the ALL the money for me (read: $3000 minimum total). I'd even let you pick which bike I suffer on - the Hayabusa or the SV1k (or a loaner bike of at least 250cc). Any prize money won to be split between 'sponsors' per their contribution percentage, less any actual shipping/handling costs.*

*Actual details to be discussed and agreed upon within reason.

dang, I should read fine print... the $200 is only a "leg fee", if you want to ride one section from a given pit stop to another.

Busa ftw (good touring bike- and more hp at idle than the hardleys peak)

Lots of hookers and blow to be bought for OR with the winnings:busa:
