drove my brother 190 miles to huntingdon today, set off at 1:00pm hit a shit load of trafic, he was going to pick up a new motorbike, then he rode the bike back and i followed in the car, 380 miles .... easy , next year going for the big one lol, on a bike mind, not in a car, cars cheatin, i was sat in relative luxury today, and could have gone a lot further lol :)

wavy may have heard of this, i first heard of it about 10 years ago, i think there was a few different awards, like for 500 miles in a day was for e.g. "Baby's Bum", then say a 750 miles a day was maybe "Saddle Sore" and onto the "Iron Butt"

For those who have had/do have a licence : Whats the most miles you done in a car or on a bike in one day or one week ? i think my car record was set today

Car = 390 miles in 8.5 hours including stops

Bike = 380 in 12 hours, inc. ferry crossing at approx 2 hours
