The Mad Bastard Rally: circle Lake Ontario in 24hrs on a Scooter

Normally I just post on scooter happening’s in the US, but I just could not resist writing about those crazy canucks and their 800km in 24hr rally around Lake Ontario. While I am not sure exactly what a “km” is, and I am too lazy to google for conversion, I am almost fairly sure that their “hours” are equivalent to our “hours”, and doing 800 of anything roughly equal to a mile in 24 hours is nutty, just nutty. Go Canada

This was serious business. This was a rally for scooters only, clockwise around Ontario, through Toronto and over to Kingston, across the international border and back through Rochester and Niagara Falls

More than 800 km and a strict 24-hour time limit. No wonder it was called the Mad Bastard Rally.
