    I cannot tell how many laps he's run, but he's still running them. See here.

    Yeah, you've done some amazing stuff, brother. Assess all you want, but get some rest and recover.

    Congrats to RFlagg42, earthrooster, slatonp4, Kendoo, and TripperMike, all FJRForum members! (And apologies to those I left out ... it's hard for me to correlate real names to screen names.)

    Clarifications below, all questions snipped ... No, just pulled the top five, which was enough to get to BMW. We pile on Beemers far quicker than we pile on Harleys, as the IBR reporters have, and I was attempting to get something factual as a basis for hammering them. For the record, the H-D...

    As stated above ... NOTE: Does not include 2019, and I have no idea how they score someone who starts on a BMW and switches to an FJR mid-rally.

    I am not trying to start a fight. Statistics: https://www.ironbutt.org/ibrfacts.htm#manufacturers Statisticians usually exclude small data sources, like baseball batting champs must have a minimum of 50 at-bats before being included in the comparison. Out of manufacturers that have had a...

    From Wednesday's update (sorry I'm behind ... work is such an interference!): Perhaps as impressive to the staff as Eric’s [Buskell] ride, was his demeanor on the phone with Lisa when he knew his rally was over. Despite the trolls on Facebook ranting about tired riders who are a danger to...

    11:15 am Eastern Daylight Time ... ... and there are still around 15 bikes heading to the Greenville Marriott. Here's hoping Warchild was understating the longer delays in Spotwalla postings near the finish time. Oops. Didn't read Mr. Corwin's post until after I spouted off.

    Of course, now you MUST bring that bike to EOM, SFO, WFO, CFO, CFR and probabaly a couple of other 'meetings' so we can touch your sacred Yamaha icon.

    Wondered about him last week. Have been assured he's alive and doing as well as can be expected of a former Forum member. (Thanks, Candy Butt prez.)

    Link didn't work for me. Maybe this link does. Click along the roadway in the distance, and you go over a rise and onto a steep downslope with a sharp left-hander. I suspect Senor Bounce remembers it because of a few uneasy moments of personal experience.

    From the rules: (3) Replacement of motorcycle: The final score of a rider who fails to ride the entire rally on the motorcycle with which he or she began the event will be reduced by one-half.15 In the event that a motorcycle is replaced, the replacement motorcycle must first be ridden to the...
