Dino gets teased a lot for his Iron Horse enthusiasm, but here's the proof that the bikes ride themselves:

I may have to try sending my bike down solo at the next Fontana race. I'm sure it'll be faster without me!

nah, you just need to set it free, at least according to the video!

Self- Centering
Self- Cornering
Built-in GPS
Self- Pedaling
CPR Certified
Search and Rescue Ready
Built-in Battery/Computer/Phone Charger
Breathalyzer Option (Standard on the Sunday line)
Run Flat Tires
And on and on and on...

Again, thanks Marshall! You made my day!

Eeeeeazy there JOJO!
The only IH owner who lacks bike handling skillz- is me!

After my bike was purchased, IH decided to implement the use of a 53 point "Rider Worthiness Questionaire." The failure rate is 79%. For those who are deemed worthy, they will be treated to all of the aforementioned features that are unique to the brand.

For those who decide to race- they will be treated to ...... TROPHIES, groupies... ahhh forget it! You won't believe me anyways!

Turner has been doing that for years. Once my bike road itself all the way to SD and back. Stopped at the warehouse to shoot the bull with the new bikes too.
