Agreed. It's totally their choice but I saw very few who did not pull in wearing gloves.

If I'm right about the year it was Bucky Dent. He's the only rider listed as being on a 2015. I'm pretty sure of the year since I sold my 2015 FJR to Cav47. Only shadow of doubt is because I was keeping my distance as officials and family crowded around them.

They made it

Gray FJR (2015?) just came in at 9:02. Pan America in at 09:19. Jim Owen is the last rider at 09:23. All accounted for.

An R1200RT just pulled in with half the fairing missing and pieces falling off even as the clock was stopped! Rider seemed uninjured thank goodness. Apparently he hit a deer recently. Maybe last night? It wasn't the time to ask.

Marc Beaulac and someone on a blue S10 made it with 3 minutes to spare! Penalty window is now open. EDIT: A poor woman in a car stopped in front of the hotel entrance and blocked the S10 from arriving. About 50 people starting yelling and waving for her to MOVE! She looked terrified and likely...

The KTM 2-stroke just pulled in!

Notice how many bonii have 2 letter state abbreviations? Progressive bonus for collecting states.

As the ONLY two time winner of the IBR (2009, 2017) I'd say that yes he does have a history of maintaining that pace!

Just spoke with a friend on their way back to Detroit and they have been stuck in Chicago for the past half hour in stopped traffic on the 294. Seems to have been a major wreck. Might have cost a rider the last of his time.

7.5 hrs to penalty time and 9.5 to DQ. I don't see how the rider currently  passing Ashburn, GA is going to make it from 700 miles out. They would have to average 93 mph to avoid penalties or 74 mph to not get time DQ'd.  The 74 mph average sounds reasonable until you realize they still have to...

According to the Day 1 Flash Update, defending champion Wendy Crockett got something lodged in her rear wheel that locked it up. From the picture of the ruined tire I'd guess she had one hell of a moment keeping her FJR upright! Fresh underwear maybe? Sounds like she was saved by a really good...

Someone on a Harley lost a glove 5 sec into the rally! Provo's finest retrieved it and gave it to Lisa. Sigh!

Didn't notice anything really unusual. Sure is a good looking bike though!

I sat next to a scratch at the banquet last night. He hit a deer crossing Missouri on his way to the start. He flew out anyway crutches and all just to be there. 😃

It’s great that a Yamaha won. Wonderful bike and obviously the “local favorite “. But did you Beemer bashers see the rest of the top 10? 1- Yamaha (1) 1 - Triumph (8) 3 - Honda (3, 9, 10) 5 - BMW (2, 4, 5, 7)

Didn’t count but hanging out at the start I’d guess Aerostich still has the edge.......barely. All other brands combined would still likely be 3rd place.

Has anyone figured out the bonii in Oregon? Lots of riders scattered around the state but they seem to making a run between Izee-Suple-Paulina but I don't see the stop other than several riders seem to have stopped around the Bowman Museum in Prineville after that run.

I've seen quite a few make the trek up to Yaak to collect the "World Famous Dirty Shame Saloon" bonus. At least I assume that's what they are after since they stop there.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel a twinge of concern for the riders in Las Vegas and Cheyenne. Hate to see them lose time penalty points so early in the rally.
