Iron Butt route …

By Jens|2018-09-14T20:10:11+02:00September 14th, 2018|Iron Butt 2018, Uncategorized|

A 1000 mile trip around the big Swedish lakes in max. 24 hours.

An Iron butt tour have been on my bucket list for a while, and now the weather forecast looks like fair (dry) weather.

You may notice that I’m on a very small bike !

The obvious choice would be to take the mighty KTM 1290 Super Adventure, but that would be all too easy – almost like cheating 🙂

So to make the challenge (a lot) bigger, I’m taking my wifes old bike for this tour. It’s a KTM 200 Duke, single cylinder, 26 HP.

Receipts and odometer picture from each refilling.

(The gas tank only holds 10,5 liter, so this is a frequent event)

Was once a big industry here, and followed by foundries and steel manufactoring industry.

Not sure about the plane, but the small KTM is doing great 🙂
