Here's the link to Tim's video of John Young arriving… Did I see that the old Triumph was not last, even beating a FJR? :-)

My dear, fellow Iron Butt Keyboarders, just a quick word to say thank you very much to letting me in on your forum. I first got into LD riding in 2009 and quickly got hooked. 3 SS1000's a SS2000 and a finish in the Brit Butt Rally had confirmed to be that LD riding is in my blood. During 2009 I...

JOHN YOUNG - YOU'RE AN IBR LEGEND NOW!!!!!!! Well done mate, can't wait to here your story when you get back home.

Looks like British rider Phil Weston is heading for his 4th corner, can anyone guesstimate if he'll make it back in time?

When you're riding a triple, it's all the music you need! John Young is definitely old school, long live old school!

Thanks for the update Dale, much appreciated by us Iron Butt Keyboarders on the other side of the pond, thank you.

Brilliant news on John Young completing Leg2, any news on the English rider, Phil Weston?

Brilliant Warchild, that'll be my afternoon/evening sorted then!

Anyone know when the Leg 1 Bonus Listing is going to be made available? Some of us armchair rallists want to see how we would have planned the first leg lol!

Good morning folks, anyone know why the Spotwalla is not updating ? I'd post a screen shot but not sure how to do that lol

"Invariably, there is at least one motorcycle in every rally that is considered to be in what is affectionately referred to as the “hopeless class.” This year, that honor goes to a 1975 Triumph Trident ridden by John Young from the United Kingdom. Members of the Tech Inspection team have been...

Damn it, it's 1am in the morning and I can't stop refreshing this page and the Spotwalla page! This is so exciting, and it's only Leg 1 lol. I'm going to be so wasted by the end of this rally !!!

Thanks Dale, I can go to sleep tonight safe in the knowledge they've made the 1st check point. It's just after midnight here in England lol.

Absolutely outstanding commentary folks. So pleased that John Young and his Triumph Trident have made the checkpoint. Any news on Phil Weston, the other English rider ?

I've been reading with great interest about various routing options, but the surely the winning route will be a Hyder and 4 corners ride with minimal capitals, just the low lying fruit? From what I've read there's 4800 for Hyder, plus 4800 for the 4 corners and another 4800 for the 48 states...

Thanks for keeping the Spotwalla going, life wouldn't be worth living without it! Glad to hear good news about John Young still going strong…so who was taking bets he wouldn't even make it out of Seatlle? Lol

Hi Dale, thanks for the welcome and yes very much rooting for John and Phil as well as Gerhard who I met during the 2010 Brit Butt Rally. You're such a tease showing the Spotwalla screen shot saying he's in the middle of the pack….I dashed off to the site to see if I could see John on it, but...

Hi folks, I signed up yesterday so that I follow this amazing commentary on the rally. Love all the banter and the insight being given by Dale etc. This is most definitely required reading, just hope my boss doesn't realise my productivity has gone down the pan lol.
