    Declining interest in the IBR?

    Similar comments are made every time the IBR is run, and I guess that I am OK with that, but I can't help but wonder if the on-line spectators are of no importance, why bother even having an Official Rally Scribe and publishing update articles ever day and having "almost real time" SpotWalla...

    edit:.  My previous comment was completely wrong.  I should learn to not make wild assumption about where riders are headed.

    Is anyone else having a problem with Day 4's "Tick Tock" report ?? I can open/download all the other reports expect Day 4. I've tried Firefox & Chromium but same problem. I'm resisting (for now) on reading Day 5 until I can read Day 4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    2019 Iron Butt Rally Details Announced - Starts Monday 6/17 in South Carolina

    Congratulation to all the riders. Outstnding effort. Many thanks to the FJR communitity for allowing us "outsiders" to lurk, and follow the event. BTW, did Phil Weston DNF because he only achieved 24 states or were there bike problems somewhere along the way ??

    I'm not so sure about "robust safety" of the SPOT units. My Spot II died after only 18 months of use. Worse thing was that I did not know it had died until I reached home after a further 4 days. All the lights seemed to work, but no signals were being "uploaded". I also understand that a...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    The Spot2 units have the ability to send different messages depending on which button on the unit is pressed. IIRC, Orange is the standard automatic tracking update, Green = I'm OK, Yellow = a custom message programmed in by the rider and Red = 911 Emergency
