This series chronicles the rides and reflections of record-holding long distance motorcycle rider Bruce Arnold. Bruce is one of eleven Mile Eater Gold members in the Iron Butt Association, to which he has to date submitted 53 distance and endurance rides--53 certified, 0 in-process, all "one ride, one cert"--including:
  • Extreme Long Distance Endurance Motorcycle Rider Bruce Arnold the 100CCC Insanity (CCC GOLD)

All of Bruce Arnold's Iron Butt rides were completed "old school", meaning without the use of oversized tanks, fuel cells, Bluetooth headsets, Garmin GPS, or heated clothing. From January 2007 to May 2008, he submitted at least one IBA ride each month for a total of 22 rides over the 17-month period. In December 2008, he became the first Harley-Davidson rider to complete the BBG4500. And in June 2010, Bruce became the first Harley rider to complete 50 Iron Butt rides and the first Iron Butt rider to complete 50 certified rides on the same motorcycle:
