Departing from the SS1000 Check-in:

  • Site Coordinators will start manning the check-out table at 5:00 a.m. in the parking lot on Saturday, September 26th, 2009.
  • The Riders will be released once their witness form is completed. Riders will be released a couple at a time. We do not want riders riding in a pack for safety reasons. Our goal is to get all riders out by 6:00 a.m. and release the witnesses by that time.
  • If you arrive at the staging area after 6:00 a.m. you will not be counted as part of the ride.
  • Have your witness form filled out and your odometer reading recorded. The witness should simply have to fill in the time, their personal information, and sign the form. Do your final T-CLOCK inspection before getting the witness signature.
  • When you are ready to go, advise one of the witnesses. They will validate your odometer reading and license plate number; and add the time and their personal information to the witness form.
  • When you are released from the staging area, you are expected to go directly to the get your gas receipt.
  • Plan accordingly. Eat breakfast before staging.
  • Gas up and get a receipt at the Jim’s Truck Plaza Sunoco
    * * * THE GAS RECEIPT'S COMPUTER TIME STAMP WILL BE YOUR OFFICIAL STARTING TIME * * *
  • You are off on the Saddle Sore 1000. Ride safe, don't push your limits, and most of all enjoy your ride.
  • Riders have up to, but no more than, 24 hours to complete the SS1000 ride using the approved route and obtain an ending computer printed gas receipt with a date and time stamp at Jim’s Truck Plaza Sunoco location.

    You MUST pick up receipts at the mandatory stops in order to validate the corners of the approved route:
    Some IBA riders get two receipts at Start, Finish and each Mandatory Stop. It is a lot easier to get both a gas receipt and a receipt for snack/water at important stops than to repeat a ride because a receipt went missing. Many IBA riders store their receipts in a waterproof, zip-sealed plastic bag.

    Returning from the Buffalo, NY SS1000:

  • Once you return from your ride, you are required to obtain a gas receipt at Jim’s Truck Plaza Sunoco .
    * * * THE GAS RECEIPT'S COMPUTER TIME STAMP WILL BE YOUR OFFICIAL ENDING TIME * * *
  • You can stop the panic. Your official time has been recorded on your receipt.
  • Waiting until our witnesses are available will not affect the certification of your ride.
  • Site Coordinators will be manning the check-in table from 9:00 p.m. September 26th until 6:00 a.m. September 27 th.
  • If you arrive at the check-in table after 6:00 a.m. on September 27th, you will not be counted as part of the ride.
  • You must turn in your completed documentation (Witness forms, Stop Log, and Gas Receipts) to the Site Coordinator at the completion of your ride. If you do not turn in your documentation, you will not be counted as part of the ride.
  • Congratulations on a great ride!

    Important Safety Information

    1. Read the Frequently Asked Questions on the MTF Regional SS1000 Home Page

    2. What are the rider's responsibilities?

      Riders will be required to acknowledge their responsibilities during the registration process. Each rider is responsible for their own ride. The MTF is helping with the logistics by planning a route and arranging for witnesses; however, the rider is responsible for the ride. Safety is of primary importance.

      If the MTF discovers that a rider has violated their responsibilities, even if it is after the ride is certified, the MTF will notify the IBA and the certification will be revoked.

    3. The rider is responsible for doing TCLOCK!

      T-CLOCK is a mnemonic developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation for assisting you in doing a comprehensive pre-ride (or a pre-purchase) inspection of a motorcycle. It is easily memorized and very useful. The individual letters stand for the specific areas to check:

    4. Tires and wheels
      Controls
      Lights and electrical
      Oil and fluids
      Chassis
      Kickstand
