The 2009 IBR is over and it’s time to have a little fun!!

Yes, it’s that time again. "Bite the Wieeenie" at Pink’s in Los Angeles, Saturday, Nov 21, 2009.

This RTE always has a great FJR turnout! :yahoo:

Pink's is an honest-to-goodness Hollywood icon, sub-cultural gathering spot and past IBR bonus location. The establishment doesn't know we are coming nor do they care. Whether you're Mike Kneebone, Barack Obama, Lisa Landry, Angelina Jolie, or Elvis, everyone waits in line. And the 1-hour+ wait at midnight for a $3.10 chili dog is a unique Hollywood experience.

Jacked up pickups, bouncing lowriders, Porsches, pimpmobiles, and junkers and LD motorcycle rigs all share a miniscule parking lot while stretch limos and Hummers circle the block while their contents wait in the 1-hour+ line.

Besides us LDRiders with ATGATT, it would not be unusual to see unique body piercing, facial tattoos, the best body modifications that money can buy, spikes and dreadlocks, prom dresses, grunge street wear and barefoot surfers standing in line.

HOT DOG MENU

If you're into hot dogs . . . check this amazing menu out.

The top-of-the-line gastrointestinal bomb is the legendary "THREE DOG NIGHT" -- 3 hot dogs, wrapped in a giant tortilla, 3 slices of cheese, 3 slices of bacon, chili & onions all for … $7.15!!!!!!!! :puke:

All depends on the weather gods. If I'm not snowed in I will give it a shot.

 
It was a blast last year. We can only hope the weather will be perfect again, so we can get over the pass. Count me in.

 
Perhaps I should offer a Candy Butt Association award for the shortest distance rider arriving on a PINK Skooter?

Oh, wait, Fairlaner would be a shoe-in!

Cool stuff Dean, will see you there, all 225 CBA miles away. It will take me 2 travel days, but I'll try to be there! :lol:

 
Dang! Midnight's a little late for this poor working stiff who has to be there at 0700 on Sunday. Y'all have fun!

 
Last year almost no one pimped out their ride - which was disappointing, to say the least.

So come on folks, let's do it right this time !!

See ya'all there, Crestor in hand.

 
I'm in. A Polish Pastrami Swiss dog sounds pretty good right about now.

Google Maps says 18.8 miles from my house...

LOL We will all be looking to YOU to win the pimp prize!

 
I have my crown to defend. Can't win the IBR, but the Pink's distance award....
Yup! Maura is our defending LD champion! She clocked 1,282 miles in the 24 hours on her 06 Honda ST1300, straight through from Vancouver, BC, Canada!

We are especially proud of Maura, she is a finisher on this year's Iron Butt Rally!! :yahoo:

Now Dean, thank you but I am trying to keep a low profile, I don't want my reputation ruined by people talking about what I am willing to do for a hot dog :D
