They made their own patch, that's how. Told me they had never heard of the Iron Butt Association and made up their own. Yeah

Couple of initial random thoughts/comments on this matter:

* Yes, I support the concept of a stand alone forum. A forum disassociated with the GTR (no offence intended). Your bikes are lovely, please don't get me wrong, but you don't need a "transcontinential" or fully dressed tourer to do FarRides. I do them on my FireBlade and, as you know Davo, am keen to do one on... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (large) http://gtr1000.yuku.com/sreply/23719 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:05:25 GMT http://gtr1000.yuku.com/reply/23718/t/NEW-FarRiders-Forum.html#reply-23718 Aussiedav wrote:

The FarRider logo and associated wording is Australian Trademarked by me, or my company to be exact. That's a $1,000 investment.

I say this so that each one of us can be on the guard for anyone misusing OUR name without permission.

Just so everyone knows whats going on in my head (not a lot) I am leaning towards the stand alone forum.

I know in my heart that's the best thing to do but I really like how some of the non GTR owners have been posting to the GTR sections with good comments and help. I would hate that to stop.
