It's now official..I completed a "saddlesore 1000" on my 800 dragster rr..we left @1:00a.m. and got home @11:00p.m. the 30th of sept. 2017....22hrs. and 1065 miles.
According to the I.B.A. I am the first person to have done a official saddlesore 1000 in the history of the I.B.A. (iron butt association) on the dragster rr. there are 2 mv's listed in Europe, a tourismo and a brutale but never on the dragster rr.....MV AGUSTA..MOTO-SKIVEEZ was involved in the process of this event, I did it with the stock seat and no aftermarket wind protection, it was not easy, the last 2 hours was killing my ass! that's why it's called a "saddlesore"..I did this on 3 hours sleep, I needed about 3 more...

Good job, especially on that kind of bike!! Nice panniers....

I had to build a platform so it wouldn't block my turn signals and the board is my fender from water splashing, it works good...I was able to carry 2 fuel containers and all of my tools..there will be a video later

I did a saddlesore on my Triumph Tiger, and was thinking of doing another on my Brutale.......
After just riding 1200 miles over 2 days, I was having second thoughts......... you have given me new enthusiasm

Yay! Congratulations on completing the Saddlesore! Looking forward to the video!

It was not easy, the last 200 miles were brutale..lol!..I don't think It would have happened without the moto-skiveez...I had the bike shorts most of the summer then got these and made a long trip, it was noticeably better for comfort..the dragster seat is a brick...I also made the rear bags so I could have a back rest...

I think the skiveez are a good idea......maybe a great idea........

Your ass will thank you for it!..also, having a "throttle lock" is a must have add on for the longer rides, theres no way I could go that far with out it. I hope you do it on the brutale, the iron butt association likes to see bikes like ours do these long rides, 98% are done with touring bikes. You did it on the tiger, that's tuff rider too..good luck!

Explain saddlesore(?)!

Some kind of official challenge?
