Pappy James' Iron Butt Rides

The Iron Butt Association is dedicated to safe, long-distance, endurance motorcycle riding. This blog is simply a place where one person has listed his ride reports and descriptions.

An Intentional Interim Minister is a pastor who serves congregations who are going through periods of heavy transition prior to calling a new settled pastor. I am ordained into the church through the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The best part is that I get to watch congregations grow and rediscover the excitement and vitality of "being church"! It also is nice that I get to move every 12 to 24 months to yet a new part of the country with new roads and new local cuisine.

I'll probably head down to Oklahoma City for Dinner soon.
Other than that I'm in the planning stages of adding a 7 gal Fuel Cell on the back. It will mount in place of the trunk. And by the use of quick disconnects and the mounting system I will trade it and the trunk out depending on the situation. This will bring my bike up to the 11.5 gal limit set by the IBR, which is still a dream of mine.

My next "big" ride I hope to enter a 5 day or so Rally next Summer. I'm not sure what will held because August is the IBR!

Well that's it. I'll be posting pictures of my project as I begin work.

Pappy,

I'm an IBA member, picking up my 3rd bike (2nd Kawasaki Concours) on Friday. I'm also a United Methodist Minister here in Fort Morgan, Colorado. I meet a few other ministers on bikes, and a *very* few others who understand the IBA thing.

What brand of minister are you?

Sorry for the slow response. I've been remise in checking since Google took over.

To answer, I'm a Christian Church (Disciple of Christ) Intentional Interim minister.
Yes, my congregations all think I'm nuts!
