[BikerGeek99]

I take it that the rest of the FJR riders are safely in the barn?

Timebared or not, I have major respect for this little quarter liter!https://twitter.com/snijim/status/355689078018170881/photo/1

I am sad to report the little Ninja 250 did not make it... he appears to be among the time-barred group.

He'll have lots of company...

That takes a set. Big Ones. My hat is off to this rider!

Holy shite, we're melting this box:

load averages: 119.51, 103.54, 98.16 07:17:01
242 processes: 145 sleeping, 96 running, 1 on cpu
CPU states: 0.0% idle, 94.2% user, 5.8% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 8192M real, 260M free, 4685M swap in use, 9931M swap free

Glad everyone is accounted for. Awesome last 11 days!

Iggy at the Finish:

I'm guessing his back hurts. Along with everything else.

 

[twistedcricket]

I know TriggerT made it back safely.

 

[Udjeni]

Congrats to our fellow FJR peeps and all of the IBR riders...well done! What a show!

Just saw Bob's update - it looks a little ominous for Iggy as well as many others - didn't see his name listed on Bob's notes as getting in before the cutoff...

Sadly, the good Doctor Howard Entman appears to be among the time-barred...

I guess Bob's finishing list wasn't complete after seeing WC's photos...

I just want to thank Warchild and the other good folks at FJRForum for putting up with the crazy traffic from lurkers like me. You guys are the go-to spot for IBR coverage. Thank you.

I assume a lot of people are just not mentioned.

That first picture of Iggy is amazing. Wonder if he'll replace his mayor pic with this or his haircut pic?

Great job on the coverage guys. As a new forum member and a potential FJR owner, thank you. I was cheering for Meese and hope he's not seriously injured. That sucks to hit a coyote in 2011 and however this ride ended. I'll be curious to hear the details. So close to a finish, yet so far way...... Outstanding riding by all, makes my measly little rides looks like rides around the block. I'll be thinking about these riders when I try a Bun Burner Gold this Sunday. If they can do it for 11 days, I can for one, right?

Jasen, thanks for doing the spot run. Just very cool!
