Is the Iron Butt Rally now relegated to riding history?

Totally agree Bob. Not only would you need the modifications but you would also have to have a plan to ensure that they were followed, a record showing that you carried out the plan and then you're still vulnerable to a judge/jury that believes you should have met the standard of perfection in your compliance with the plan.

Just curious: What is such an organization responsible and/or liable for that insurance is needed to cover?

Many years ago, a lawyer friend of mine mentioned that Sohio Gas Stations (became BP Gas Stations) were the most sued entity in Ohio. He explained that in the event of an accident, the injured person's lawyer will name every possible person/company in the lawsuit. He cannot add names once the paperwork is filed, and if someone is left out who actually was liable for the accident, they are pretty much off the hook. Back then, there were more Sohio stations around, and there was almost always one within line of sight of an accident, so many were named in the suits. Of course, Sohio had little to no liability, but they had to have their legal dept. file paperwork and defend the company. Such is our legal system.
 
The reality is anyone can sue anyone else for any reason.
Corporations still have to 'legal up' even if they know it is a frivolous lawsuit.
In small claims court in Tennessee an individual can file 'suit' and represent themselves but a corporation must have a lawyer to represent them.
 
Then again, winning a judgement in civil court is only half the battle, or less.

Then you have to actually collect the award, and the courts have little to do with any of that once a judgement is rendered.

Family court is a different kettle of fish, from what little I understand. I strive to avoid courts whenever possible, and with the exception of some perceived traffic infractions, I have been mostly successful.
