Now this is what I am talking about Gents! JB planning an Alaska trip on a
Loop. I think Rider magazine, Motorcyclist and Cycle World ought to do a
story on that. Certainly MAGNOC mag. needs to do a piece on this. We (or
just JB, I ain't tough enough to ride to Alaska) could show the bike world
that Loops are tough, long distance bikes that are still very capable. Am I
pipe dreaming here guys? There are some of us on this list that are good
riders and good mechanics and could really make a go of long, long rides and
somehow talk and write about it. Just a thought. Bob

My longest day on a loopframe was going to the New Mexico national
rally. I think it was 1340 miles in 23 hours.
I did do a 950 mile day on the Eldo/Velo rig once, my arms were mush
after that.
I only rode 50k on loopframes and 120k on the T-3.
I bought the T-3 in April of 98 and my first loop in May of 99.
I do plan on doing Alaska again but this time on a loopframe. Hopefully
within 2 years.

 As charlie said...JB (Weld) has everyone beat....hands down. If you
subscribe to the MGNOC Newsletter you will know. His runs are legendary
and he writes about them. I can feel my butt getting sore as I read his
articles :-)

I think most of his miles are put on the RaT-3 though.....right JB?
What's the longest run on the Eldo JB?

My longest on the 69 Ambo was 600 miles in a day. My recent run to the
MD Rally was 1348 miles in 4 days. JB does that in a day I hear :-)
