Any of the USCA members that read the article in the sidecarist magazine march/april issue on Ken Askey of New York learned that he had turned 80 years that month also has ridden 60 accident free years on 2 and 3 wheels in 10 different countries!
In the July 06 issue of the AMA magazine there is a letter from Ken about the movie the fastest Indian and the inspiration that can follow.
Ken states that he is in his 3rd bout with prostrate cancer and on July 2nd and 3rd he is going to attempt a COMBINED 1000 mile in a day and 1,500 miles in 36 hours Iron Butt ride he says that if he does infact complete the ride and it is
confirmed,then he will be reconized as the oldest person to complete one of these events.
I for one hope that Ken completes his 1,000 and 1,500 events safely is confirmed in the events and then goes on to knock the big "C" out for good once and for all.
Ride safely Ken I'll be thinking of you on the 2nd and 3rd
