Here I thought the guy was cool who did the Iron Butt Rally in 1995 with a tower computer (and 6-CD changer!) in a saddlebag, a laptop display on his handlebars and a keyboard on his tank, running GPS software he wrote himself. Roberts has 12 years and absence of a motor on Martin Hildebrandt.
Hey wow! I met the guy and saw his bike years ago.Quote:

A 275 pound bicycle? :eek:
With the modern micro-technology, I wonder if his bike could loose some weight?
