    FJRForum Official 2023 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Well I just got back home (Mpls area) from attending the finish and the banquet. I was lucky enough to score a ticket for the banquet. I must say, the IBA peeps, sure know how to put on a first class affair. Huge congratulations to James Owen for what he has accomplished. Truly an amazing rider.

    I see several riders will get to enjoy a spirited ride on Interstate 70 east bound later this afternoon. That should be fun.

    8:20 pm and there are still some riders in upstate NY and NY City. Yikes! They will have some hard riding ahead of them. Hopefully they have already taken their rest bonus.

    Pretty certain that I will be. Also heading out after work on Thursday, meaning that I won't arrive until most riders are back at the barn. Mostly want to see the folks later that afternoon and evening. Then hopefully ride back with some of the MN contingent.

    Thousand mile day.

    For some it's a "notch" on the belt, for others, it's just the way they ride. I still remember the newspaper article I read in the Mpls Star Tribune just months after buying an 05 FJR, that described this group of riders that rode long distances just for the joy of it. To be a member, one had...

    Ride planning/ Help needed

    So Tony, did you ever go ahead with this ride? This stupid pandemic I'm sure ruined many planned rides this summer, but I truly hope you were able to still accomplish your's.

    Neat Interview

    Yes, definitely a great article.  I always enjoy reading about why others choose to ride in the IBR and what great experiences and memories they are gifted with from participating.  Thanks for posting the link.

    Pathfinder's 100,000 (Cert.) Miles in 1 Year Attempt

    Congratulations Tony on achieving such a lofty goal!  Its exhausting just trying to wrap my head around all that riding you did and some of the hurdles you had to clear.  As for this flower sniffing you talk about, you really think that's in your DNA?  lol Again, am really happy for you on...

    Good on you Jesse for picking up the torch and continuing the rally. And what a gorgeous part of the country to be rallying in. I hope it goes fantastically well for you and the riders.

    You seem to have this talent for interviewing down pat Justin. Well done. Really enjoyed hearing what Wendy had to say. She’s a class act. Had the pleasure of waiting for the ferry down in Alabama with her and Eeksnake.

    2019 Shelly's House Alamo Express Rally

    Unfortunately I'll not be able to attend this year, but I highly recommend it to anyone. Prior to riding in this event, my only experience with NV was the road trip to and from Vegas in the days when I lived in southern Cali. Having ridden in this rally opened my eyes to the unique beauty of...

    Pathfinder's 100,000 (Cert.) Miles in 1 Year Attempt

    I'm hoping that once the weather warms up Tony and allows you to venture off the now truly beaten path, the warm an fuzzy feelings about hitting 100K this year will return. I'm anxious to see all the imaginative ways you're planning on getting to that goal. Can't be easy to do in...

    2018 Tour of Honor

    Yeah that heat can kinda sneak up on ya and sap a bunch of energy out of ya while you ride. It ruined a meet-up I was really looking forward to. Maybe on your way up to Atlanta, MN. Beer n Brats

    2019 Iron Butt Rides

    I had suggested that heavenly stretch of asphalt bliss because of a past ride w/ 101st. And Tony ...... yes I just had too darn much fun the first go around to not try it again.
