My Brand Rocks and My Brand Rocks Insanity   

SS1000 or BBG

(This is a ride series requiring the completion of more than one certified ride using only one motorcycle brand for the complete ride series.)                

    ---A minimum of two rides must be completed within the same calendar month.  In other words, you must start on the first day of a calendar month or thereafter and finish all of your rides by the end of the same calendar month.  

    ---All rides must be on the same brand but different model of bike (Harley, Honda, BMW, etc).

    ---All rides must be on a different model of the same brand from any of the previous rides (no repeats).  For instance, you may ride a 2010 BMW GS, then a 2019 BMW Sport, then a 2010 BMW RT, but NOT then a 2017 BMW GS.

---To qualify for the My Brand Rocks Insanity you must do at least four qualifying rides on consecutive days (that is, back to back without any skip in riding days).                                          

Since we know IBA members like to one up each other, we will designate each certificate completed by the number of successful rides completed.  For instance, a certificate commemorating two rides would be called a “My Brand Rocks – 2”.  Therefore, the highest number of completed rides in a month would yield a “My Brand Rocks – 31” certificate.  In order to provide for the unlikely possibility of someone pulling this off and wanting to continue, anyone completing a “My Brand Rocks -31” will be allowed to continue their successive ride streak into the following month(s).  All rules still apply and all fees must be paid.

Every Brand Rocks and  Every Brand Rocks Insanity                                      

SS1000 or BBG                                               

(This is a ride series requiring the completion of more than one certified ride using a different motorcycle brand for the complete ride series.)                            

--A minimum of two rides must be completed within the same calendar month.  In other words, you must start on the first day of a calendar month or thereafter and finish all of your rides by the end of the same calendar month.

--All rides must be on a different brand of bike (Harley, Honda, BMW, etc).             

-- rides must be on a different brand of bike from any of the previous rides (no repeats).  The bike can be any model, year, color, etc but it MUST NOT BE THE SAME BRAND OF BIKE.  Specific bike documentation will be required.

--To qualify for the Every Brand Rocks Insanity you must do at least four qualifying rides on consecutive days (that is, back to back without any skip in riding days).                           

Since we know IBA members like to one up each other, we will designate each certificate completed by the number of successful rides completed.  For instance, a certificate commemorating two rides would be called a “Every Brand Rocks – 2”.  Therefore, the highest number of completed rides in a month would yield a “Every Brand Rocks – 31” certificate (assuming you can find 31 different brands of motorcycles).  In order to provide for the unlikely possibility of someone pulling this off and wanting to continue, anyone completing a “Every Brand Rocks -31” will be allowed to continue their successive ride streak into the following month(s).  All rules still apply and all fees must be paid.
