Now LD Riders have their own Genre in the cinema world in the form of the movie “HARD MILES” 11 Days 11,000 Miles. “HARD MILES” chronicles the 2007 Iron Butt Rally the ultimate test of motorcycle endurance riding and physical and mental toughness.

This is the exciting documentary of the August 2007 Iron Butt Rally. 15 months in the making, this video shows what it takes to win and lose the legendary long distance endurance motorcycle rally. 97 riders faced incredible challenges, never-ending rain, relentless heat, and endless hard miles. This is the amazing saga of 11 long days as they ride throughout North America. Hear the riders tell the story and witness the joy and the heartbreak that is the Iron Butt Rally.
At one time, The Iron Butt Rally had a “sit here, twist that!” ideology which resulted in heroic miles to win. Now winning or losing the rally just might be determined before a leg is tossed over the saddle. In the 2007 Iron Butt Rally, route planning, a reliable ride, a proven top rider, and the key uses of communications and outside support team was the winning combination. Run time is: 66 minutes
