Well woke up at 0400 instead of the planned 0600 so made a start at 0500. The sun was just up so a little chilly, heated suit on at 25% toasty, fuelled and ready to go.

Second stop at Exeter Services making good time OMG they shut the motorway so detour required. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/30/epataja8.jpg)

Arr but you can change that clock on the bike.
With your phone you can timestamp and embed GPS coordinates, time stamp would be taken from the GPS
Just thinking of the documentation aspect for the SS1000
You can of course edit Exif Tags if you really wanted.
Got time and location on all receipts mate. Have geotagging switched of on my phone. All a learning curve mate :) And I know I did it and that cannot be taken away :)

I did my iron butt 1000 back in 2009, I did it as a personal challenge and as it was organised by the royal british legion we all got sponsers and raised 24k.
we were given designated petrol stations to go to that covered the 4 corners of our route, we had to obtain a receipt from said location to prove our attendance , its impossible to do less than 1000 miles to visit all 4.
I really enjoyed the event, the companionship and spending so much time with the bike, id love to do it again, oh yes and I got a little badge!
I hope to do the RBLR next year heard about it to late for this year :(
