IBR rider needs help. Gregg L is riding a 2010 FJR and needs a rear shock, new or used. He is currently in South Georgia, headed north toward VA. If you can help him, call his cell Xxxxxxxx. His battery is getting week, so, if you cannot reach him, call me at xxxxxxx and I will contact the...

He is actually just north of Jacksonville, in South Georgia right now. He really needs the shock now, not between VA and MN. He thought he was going to have one available in Va Beach, but that is not the case. If you can help him, call his cell...Xxxxxxxxxx If you can't reach him, call me and...

Yes -- the current flag in Lubbock is Rony. He left Lubbock on Bill's bike yesterday, but did a low-side in some sand in Comanche, TX, late yesterday evening. Some minor damage to the bike, so he decided his rally was over. He spent the night in Comanche and returned to Lubbock today, rented...

Hmmmm -- actually -- that referred to Rony, whose bike puked it's drive shaft near Lubbock. Ray King

There are two more legs to go, so the rest of them, including the one in your back yard and the one in Mobile, could be on legs 2 and 3. But that is not really the problem; the real difficulty is that there are 29 Blackbirds on display in the US if you count the A-12 and YF-12 versions. If you...

The two-up couple on the Tenere are Shane and Annette Cudlin from Australia. They did the 2011 IBR on a 'Wing.

"Brutal second leg" is right. I saw Jim Frens in the checkpoint #2 hotel lobby after his arrival and after he had been scored. Dale's "meat on a stick" came to mind...and at that point we did not know that he had bagged Key West. I don't know when he left Jacksonville, but it was obvious he...

You can take this to the bank: A photo of the four corners monument is sufficient documentation for the States of NM,AZ,CO and UT. As the riders were leaving the meeting at checkpoint 2 and heading for their rooms or their bikes, some were talking about the fact that the location was on the...

Disregard my comment on 293. We are thinking he has friends or family here.

I was at the checkpoint tonight...three riders checked in to the hotel between 10 and 11:15.

Anyone have any idea what's up with 293? He/she appears to be in my neighborhood in Jax--literally--and isn't moving. No MC shop or retail outlet of any kind there, and this is not the fast route to the checkpoint. I am tempted to drive over there.

The Canadian route might be the fastest way to get to Madawaska.

You have probably noticed that it's updating now. They did not get the bonus pack for leg 2 until 4AM or after, so they spent a bit of time planning. Or maybe Jason built in a little more Spotwalla delay.

The number shuffle is already in place, it appears. 887 is now 152, 512 is 394 (easy to see because their flags are still out in the hinterlands where we last saw them); and a new one has popped up -- 719 over near Rochester. Someone sent an OK message, but impossible to determine when. Is...

Even 512 is moving with what looks like a chance to make it. It will be amazing if they all get there. Did we ever get an answer on penalty points per minute?

I am hoping 184 has some local knowledge of Toledo and is detouring around rush hour traffic. He/she is on Shoreland Blvd roughly parallel to I-75 heading south. If he/she can keep up a good pace and and get back on the interstate soon, and can get through Cleveland without delay, my mapping...

Is "372" the one with the custom Spot message in Cridersville, OH? If so, I just learned a valuable trick. I could not tell if it was 372 or 872, so I zoomed in using the Ctrl and + keys on the keyboard, and it made the numbers bigger and readable to these old eyes. And when I zoomed back...

I just saw this question, from several pages back...a very busy thread today! Many of the riders made arrangements for new tires, chains, sprockets, etc, at the Cheektowaga or Jacksonville checkpoints. I have two sets of rear tires/wheels in my garage to deliver to the Jax checkpoint Monday AM.

"Over-enthusiasm" is correct, and, for the record, the Spotwalla code list on the MTF was taken down before Lisa or other IBR staffers had a chance to react...or overreact. No squishing involved.
