Sorry to disappoint, it was blue. After it's first wreck, most of it turned black, still had some blue. After the second wreck, all black. No throttle lock for me. My stupid ass hopped on a naked R1 with no wind protection and a mostly bald front tire, rode through a blizzard with 4wd trucks in the ditch getting out of Minnesota, through 8 hours of dense fog all the way to Oklahoma, then got caught in a freezing rain storm on the way back north. Probably should have died, but here I am.
For those that are unfamiliar (guessing pretty much everyone) the iron butt association is an organization that gives out certifications for motorcycle riders that complete long distance rides. Everything must be documented with witnesses and gas station receipts as proof. Minimum ride requirement is 1000 miles in under 24 hours.
