Anyone know of when and where there will be any others?
I've been wanting to get my 899cc ZX-9R sportbike entered into one of these challenges. Vetter, for instance, has a challenge coming up on
July 10th, 2016 in Ohio and although no longer active on here, low&slow had
a fun event of similar makeup.
Motorcycle Classes:
Electric- electric motorcycles (may turn back at “The Junction”)
Unlimited Streamliner
Under 700 cc
Over 701 cc
Worst Gas Mileage?

6.Matthew Shiroma, Suz. V-Strom 1000cc, 47.8 mpg, 1st >700cc
7.Rick Silverman, Suz. DR 650cc, 44.8 mpg, 4th <700cc
8.John McAllister, BMW 1000cc, 42.7 mpg, 2nd >700cc
Vetter's challenge has additional requirements, like carrying 4 sacks a groceries upright, that don't fit a simple distance challenge. However, both of these did provide honorary categories where just about anyone could participate and be included. You just couldn't win, because the challenge criteria had not been met.
I'm fine with participating in a honorary category. Would love to go head-to-head against Matthew Shiroma's Suz. V-Strom 1000cc bike for top honors in the > 700cc class.
Anybody else looking into doing this or have information about other contests?
