<gestures> These aren't the droids you're looking for. <fog and mist>

Opus? Naw, think Bill the Cat.

My export program seems to have dropped the last bonus collected for a number of riders. Both Wendy and Steve visited the top of Mt. Washington for 7577 points for their last bonus of the rally. We'll pick away at getting these fixed. So ... <I'm looking at you, Internet> ... don't get...

Been there. 2001 IBR. Southbound out of Tok, AK. Hit a pothole you could pit roast a pig in. The extension stroke on the rear suspension was hard enough to rip the end cap out of the Ohlins shock on my R1150GS. It was a hobby horse all the way to Edmonton at which point it finally siezed...

Based on your Spot track over the weekend, I would f&cking expect so, you wanker. Well done. See you in Denver? Jeff

Ride safe and have fun, y'all!

Great ride, Matt. I didn't even look at the Big Sheep route because I wasn't interested in doing dirt. I was there for fun and that didn't fall into the fun category for me. Here was my SPOT track...

I found that statistic surprising too. The ergos on the C-14 are similar to the FJR. I rode Davo's C-14 from the shipper to my house before the '09 IBR. He asked me what I thought of it. My answer was, "Nice. It's down on power and torque to my K1200GT, but at least it vibrates more." He...

BMW: "Perpetuate the Myth" And yeah, it's *my* spare FD that Meese is carrying in his right saddlebag.

You got it, Paul. This will be the first time in seven events that I have not arrived at the finish completely shredded. I'll miss that feeling. Really. In the PDX terminal now, heading to ONT,

Likely yes, via NV-376 (a.k.a. "Extraterrestrial Highway")

Ummm ... nevermind. I thought this rider was going to swing through Denver/SLC overnight and be cranking west on I-80 by now. They had been on a vector to do that yesterday. I see that they have just started moving again from Colorado Springs after an overnight stop.

Yes, a few special tools are required like a torque wrench (or breaker bar) and some large Torx bits. If you have those, and have already removed it once, the FD swap on late generation BMW can be done in under 20 minutes. If it is still the way the factory left it, one of the main bolts is...

Rock on, 929, rock on. Whoever you are. In Austin this morning and looking like they are heading to Denver. Watch this rider, folks. They are on track to put in a big ass leg 3.
