1000 Miles In 24 Hours Motorcycle Ride - RBLR1000 2018

  • 1000 miles in 24 hours motorcycle ride, how hard can it be? In June I entered the RBLR1000 2018 charity motorcycle ride in aid of the Poppy Appeal, a popular endurance ride undertaken by well over 100 bikes each year.
    Having managed to find a few friends (nutcases) who wanted to do the ride with me, we embarked on this grueling feat of long distance motorcycle riding, also known as the Saddlesore 1000, one of the many accredited distance rides set by the Iron Butt Association, IBA.
    Starting and finishing at Squires Cafe in Leeds, you have exactly 24 hours to ride a minimum distance of 1,000 miles which must be proved via VAT receipts obtained along your route. This event is an annual ride in aid of the Royal British Legion and their Poppy Appeal, with riders given the option of either heading South to Land's End, or North to Wick in Scotland, with either course being done in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
    We chose north-clockwise, sat astride our noble steeds, and hit the throttle. What could go wrong?

    I just happened across your video as I was looking at different long rides, especially like this for charity as well as the Iron Butt series here in the states. FIRST of all, GREAT video for the weather, equipment issues, and did I mention being COLD!!! I ride all year here in the states in the midatlantic and lucky to have a great wife who has singlehandedly kitted me out with amazing gear. RARELY do I get cold or wet (yet it DOES HAPPEN!). This goes to my hats off to all you folks in that ride who overcame the wet/cold to complete the ride for a good cause while still filming amazing scenery with a thoughtful, lighthearted, and informative narrative that was so good and SO hard to maintain while wet/freezing cold. The part where you are grabbing a bite to eat and trying with great difficulty to cut/eat your food showed how tenacious you all had to be to continue. Then the "Smash Up" that caused a back track of miles I am sure caused some to drop out and I saw in the comments from CHRIS that he was the one that so unfortunately was involved in that accident and severely injured. t appears he will have a long road ahead but thoughts and prayers for a full recovery!! As an on duty injury breaking my back/neck as a police officer and will never fully recover but still ride as a way to maintain some normalcy. ANYWAY, again this was such a fun video to watch (EXCLUDING THE ACCIDENT). Thank you for doing it and you made great time!!! Hope to see more my friend!!!

    Sorry for your detour, I was the guy who was doing it anti-clockwise when a VW Golf decided to pull out on me half way round a corner shattering 3 out of 4 of my limbs and closing the A9 just before Wick!! Once I’ve learnt to walk again I’ll be doing it next year (hopefully to completion)!!!! Well done by the way!

    Love the way you edit your stuff together, no wonder it takes so long. Entertaining stuff. I've had lots of textile suits over the years but now after all leaked I've spent the cash and got Rukka Armaxis honestly the best, ridden in monsoon type rain and still dry inside. Unlike most other jackets the outer material is waterproof.
    Made me smile about the MT10 and fuel stops, I've got one and it gulps the stuff. Stop every 100 miles or push!

    this morning i watched like 3 roadtrips from teapotone to learn correct road position and how to ride around uk roads and then went back for 2 hours and didn't make a fool of myself.
    thanks man, this video literally helped me get on my bike riding. start of the rest of my life lol ✌

    Hey man, great videos getting me through lockdown however most of your videos are convincing me I need a GS in my life ! Got an MT10 currently. Don’t know if you have got yourself some decent gear yet but whilst in lockdown i have been doing some research on a versatile system and found a good layering combo to get through most conditions. Base layer - Rukka down. Mid - Klim Marrakesh. Top Scott ergo waterproof. My thinking is should be good for highs and lows Scotland has to offer throughout the year ! Keep up the videos maybe join you for a blast sometime 👍

    Would recommend Rukka, had mine 4 years never got wet once & that’s including the Scotland trips. Just had a new front zip done on warranty & they loan you a Jacket whilst repairs are being done. Not cheap gear but you get what you pay for, great vid 👍

    Only recently viewing the back catalogue and came across this ride. I did it too, that year. As my first Iron Butt I took it really steady to pace myself, up to speed limits but not beyond, and by the time I got to where the road had been closed for Bruce it was open again. Got to Wick around 4pm and still got back to Squires Cafe well within the 24hrs. Tortoise and Hare, lol.

    😂🤣😂🤣
    I want to learn how to sound Scottish! Is there a pill?
    If you’re ever in San Francisco, give a shout. We also have an Inverness, it’s lovely too (no Loch but we have a bay), with as much glorious riding up and down the Pacific coast as even an Iron Butt could want.
    Thanks for the ride along.

      Been watching many of your videos of late and they are keeping me entertained while working here in Malaysia. I am planning a iron butt ride myself next year, going to ride round Malaysia in the 24hrs to raise some money for my brother-in-law as he has MS and is in need of a all terrain wheel chair. If you have any tips they will be greatly received.

I totaly get the riding in group thing, me too like to get a move on, or as i say, i like to get home at a decent time (some story to tell), and if you are alone or if you are riding with some one like you is doable, me personally would never ride a lond trip with some one i don't know. PS i did know the speedo were over reading, especally the japanese one, but i was wondering if the ODO were correct or not... now i know!!!!! Thanks!!! (i'm not joking...)

    3 things in 1 comment coming up....
    1st huge respect to everyone that did the journey especially in those conditions.
    2nd I concur the A9 between Inverness and Perth is shocking and been destroyed by average speed cameras.
    3rd I have given up on Rever tracking app due to various failures on rides meaning some are incomplete and some are way off course for the route travelled.
    Cheers for another great vid pal.

    Hey Bruce. I'd love to ride Scotland. And I will do some this year with my bro in July, hopefully. When I first started driving in 2000 I drove up in an old A reg Polo and back then there was none of this satnav equipment we get now, I did it the old way using a map. Anyhow, I planned my journey from sunny Croydon to Aberchirder and got confused on the night taking the A9 instead of A90 at Perth. I'm glad I did because it was a fine foggy morning and the views wee spectacular.

  • @hairyneil

    Next time you find yourself heading up along Loch Ness, try the B roads on the south side.
    I got a chance to go on the ride out with Highland Classic Bike Rally in June and found the A road was full of campervans and not enough overtake spots, the B roads were FANTASTIC, great surface, fast corners and almost empty!

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  6 лет назад +1

      Aye well I think there were a few on this one, but a lot of folk just did it at their own pace or in their own groups, which is fair enough.
      Be good to get a good crowd doing it next year, I’ve been told their numbers were a bit down this year.

    • @Andy182w
      @Andy182w 6 лет назад +1

Definitely need to get back to Loch Lomond soon! Love all those Scottish phrases you are using! Proclaimers...song....well....anyways great vid!
