Just saw on the national news "Cookeville, TN" is underwater, cars flooded in a car park. About a mile north of I-40. Hope it drains away in the next couple of days
I agree; the photo sure looks like a 2014 FJR to me. However, this is what is contained in Mr. Cimino's Day -1 report: Al Holtsberry 2008 BMW R1200GS 79 YPlaynGuitar posted: Based on the picture on the previous page, shouldn't Al Holtsberry be on that FJR list? Believe he is #74 in the first leg standings.
Twigg,You can add an FJR to that roster above
Allen Hatcher had a final drive failure close to Elk City, Oklahoma, and about 200 miles from my home.
It seems I was closest. I had to burn a little "husband credit" with the wife, to get her to follow me in the van, but we got the bike to Allen in about four hours. It was complicated by the fact that the bike has just finished an 8500 mile run and needed an oil change before I could leave.
So, a BMW out and an FJR in ... Let's hope he gets a good finish ... poor guy was so grateful I felt for him.
Yeah ... It's my Birthday tooTwigg,You can add an FJR to that roster above

Sorry I don't believe the coffee has made it to my Brain. You rode your 05FJR (that just carried you through IBA 48-10 ride) to meet Mr Hatcher with the wife following.....and Mr Hatcher is now riding your 05? You, MY friend are ABOVE and BEYOND!!! Kudos to you!!
Happy Birthday on our nations birthday!Yeah ... It's my Birthday tooTwigg,You can add an FJR to that roster above

Seriously though (although it actually is my birthday), it's just what we do at times like this. Jodie sits at home watching my Spot hoping someone would do that for me if needed ...
I didn't see his bike. It was recovered from I40 and presumably taken to a bike dealership. I met Allen at the hotel he had made his way to.Happy Birthday on our nations birthday! Just curious....?????
Are you taking/have took his bike to the shop too?
