Hi there! I ride motorcycles and I’m here to talk to you about that e-bike that you just got for Christmas or your birthday. It’s really cool, and I think you’re going to have a blast. I just want to make sure you know what you’re getting into, because it might be more dangerous than you realize.

I know what you’re thinking: You’re just a regular person not a psycho, adrenaline-junkie biker with regrettable tattoos and a thirst for fear. I understand, because that’s not who I am either. I ride a motorcycle for a lot of the same reasons you have that e-bike - the freedom and innocence of moving around on wheels, with the wind in your face, is refreshing.

Until you fall down, that is.

For some motorcyclists, riding is about answering questions like "Can I make it up that hill?" "How fast can I take that corner?" Or "How far can I lean before the hard parts scrape?"

For others, the question is "How far can I ride in a day?"

If it seems like a frivolous concern to you, it isn’t to the more than 75,000 riders worldwide who have answered it by riding a SaddleSore 1000. Also known as the SS1K, it’s the shortest ride certified by the Iron Butt Association, the home base for the subset of riders for whom the torturous Iron Butt Rally - in which riders can cover 11,000 miles in 11 days - is the ultimate test of riding skills and personal endurance.
