Is it legal to have a morpheous relay team? I do think that the scooter could do it but to find a rider who could endure the torture of sitting on it for 320 miles would be next to impossible,...... but how about a half a dozen riders to switch off (50 miles a piece) a morph "scooter couch" might be able to finish the run.

Knowing this area out there from my visit with Doug this past summer the thing I see the toughest is the heat. In case anyone doesn't know it's very dry as in drought in a lot of California especially in this area and it only ads to the heat.
When we went to Twenty Nine Palms this past summer we arrived there at 5 p.m. and it was still a roasty 110F.
As far as iron butt 320 miles and the hills and such? Sounds like a typical ride in the Ozarks and if I can ride over 400 miles in one day in 100F plus temps anyone can do it and my 250B has proved it can do it too, 5 times to be exact.
Now lets also get back on subject and that subject is not the never ending saga of Luke's scooter.

Dude. Really. It was created by a flood from the Colorado River around the turn of the century and has little feeding source. It became a big resort area in the 1920s but died as the sea dried up and salinity rose. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_sea

1) Still waiting for a picture of the Morphous's odometer. Until then my $3000 Chinese fleet has more mileage than your $6000 scooter. 2) Still waiting for your list of qualifications to comment on things mechanical as per Rapid Jim (The Evil Drug Dealer. Isn't that what you called him?) 3) My spare bike in case of a total breakdown is a Honda Rebel, twice the machine of a Morphous at $3395 when I bought it. Go to the Honda Rebel forum and see how many will be used for thousand mile Tours this summer, not to mention Iron Butt rides. 4) Isn't it funny that no one has ever used a Morphous for the Cannonball Run across the Country? An SYM HD 200 won it four years ago and a 110cc Honda this year. Hmmmmmmm. KZ, you know luke will never answer those questions I asked him, he is too busy downgrading and insulting people who have different opinions than him. Medman, hope the ride went well

Nothing changes I see...still see Luke TRAILER Rider poop... JR I have been riding all over in the Ozark Mtns for the past 3 months. Old 71, Pig Trail, just having a blast in AT and OK. I put just over 4,000 Miles on my V-Star since I got it the week I arrived. I will say this is great riding country. I will be going back to Florida mid August and looking forward to getting back on my trike as it is easier for me to handle and sure is more comfortable a ride.

We are heading out soon with some friends to Broker Arrow,OK. High is mid 80s here in Oklahoma with light winds. V-Star is nice but like the comfort of the Silver Wing better

No Luke... I will fly home and leave the V-Star here in Oklahoma. The Silver Wing did fine at speeds 70 - 80 mph on the trip last year. May ride the Wing again next summer here
