    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    I wanted to extend my thanks to the FJR list for the insight and entertainment over the past 11 days. With 2 FJRs in the top ten, that's a nice representation. Peek of course will be one but I don't know enough of the other Feejer pilots to venture a guess although I know Perry Karsten is a...

    I'd like to be the first to make a $100 contribution to the "Bob-to-Sally Higdon Sexual Reorientation and Wardrobe Rebuilding Project" John Young - WAY TO GO YOU CRAZY, BARKING MAD BRITISH LOON! Bob

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    I spent about $10K for the '09. This included the entry fee, all fuel, food, parts/tires, farkles, maintenance, accomodations and expense for the ride to and from the start/finish. I live in Easton, PA so the ride from Spokane threw another couple of hundred in. Also included is my wife's...

    Rain, yes. But it's the lightning that comes with it in the western states that scares the shit out of me. You're often the tallest thing around for many miles while riding a lightning rod.

    Four. After four, it's over.

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    I agree with Greg. In the '09, I rode to so many awesome spots on back roads that I know I'd have never taken the time to go there if not for the IBR. Monument Valley alone was worth the price of admission - a spiritual experience, if not a dopey move from a routing perspective. If I had to do...

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    Hi, Jeff, I worked the CP in Buf. With regard to Meese and Peek not looking so pretty on their bikes, I was really surprised that both of them looked amazingly fresh having come in from the monster ride they pulled. Roger also looked pretty damn spry. I got up this morning to watch them...

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    My route home from the Buf CP took me on I-90 to Syracuse. There was an absolute SHITLOAD of standing water on the highway as it was raining on and off very hard. A couple of times I felt the front end get a little squirrely, mostly when crossing the foot wide tar snake that ran between the...

    Warchild, Do you know what held Dick Peek up at the northern border? Was it the usual random bullshit or did they not like the look of something on his mount? Thx, Bob

    Oregon will be the queen mother bitch

    Having to ride far enough north to bag Oregon on leg three is going to be a real bear. The 3 Hyder seekers obviously took that into consideration, however, knowing how spent they may well be on the last night of the rally, that is one big-ass gamble. On the other hand, if Meese and Sinclair...

    If I were a betting man, I'd say John Coons, the IB5K winner....smart rider.

    Hi, Margaret, Did you get that stunning photo of some handsome fella you were hanging with on IOM? Bob

    2011 IBR - The Inside View

    I met Fazer Phil Weston on the Isle of Man TT1000 run this past May. He's hard as nails and has some pretty impressive UK riding credentials. A top finish for Phil would absolutely be no surprise to me. During the IOM TT1000, not only did it pound rain, you couldn't see dick because of the...
