IBA Benelux

Welcome to Insanity!

The Iron Butt Association is all about safe long-distance motorcycling.

Do you know who the most resilient bikers in the world are? Worldwide there are 70,000 of us. Since 1986, the Iron Butt Association has challenged motorcyclists around the world to improve themselves, to know their limits.
Read on, meet and get ready to discover an addiction.

The IBA was founded in the US by Michael Kneebone. As an independent department we represent the IBA in the Benelux, Germany and surrounding countries.
The IBA has no traditional membership and we have no annual dues or formal meetings. There is only one way to become a member, which is to successfully complete an IBA certified ride and the successful certification of that ride.
To do this, you plan, drive and document a ride. You send us the proofs by e-mail and we check your trip.
If your exam is successfull, you will receive a globally unique IBA number and your ride will be immortalized in the Hall of Fame, you can order your corresponding and personalized certificate.
For example, a good start is the Saddle Sore 1000, 1000 miles (or 1600 kilometers) in less than 24 hours.

You can also find us on Facebook or in the IBA Benelux Forum.
