However as has already been posted "that bike", a 500cc Vulcan with aux tank was used by another rider to finish the Iron Butt Rally in the past. Remember, all is not as it appears. ;)

Well my guy is as good as in the barn with 70 miles to go a few minutes ago. I can only assume he will go for some of the bonuses around Sacto as he did get 8 hours of shuteye last night outside Denver so today was an easy SS1K for him in to Rancho Cucamunga. ;)

My eyes, my eyes!!!!

I have one friend I am following who told me pre rally that he would be taking it easy and looking for a finish. He made a little dogleg to Mt. Pulaski, IL and I was wondering why. This is what I found. From Historical Marker database entry at (visit link) : Painted "marker" inscription: "The...

If it's still showing on Spotwalla with a 7-4 date then I'm pretty sure it's still working. IIRC Jason delays the public feed by a little bit to keep the actual location of the riders secure, plus the Spotwalla Server only pings the Spot server about every 15 minutes or so. I'm thinking the...

I figured he would have to maintain an 80+ average to beat the penalty window. Oops!

My guy is safely back at the Barn. Hope he gets a good rest.

Pekin is only 585 miles from Cranberry Township. ;)

re: "wild" life tolls IIRC in the IB5K last year there were a deer, a moose (mean sob's when pissed off), a cow, and a black bear. That's all I recall though there may have been multiples of the forest rats. So, a mountain lion doesn't surprise me a bit.

Thinking Victorville and Hesperia riders are even farther out. Can I presume the spots outside Amarillo and Albuquerque are out of the rally?

I believe I saw on the news yesterday that it snowed at Tahoe on Wednesday. Of course I might be mistaken. I have slept, albeit badly, since then.

Everything changes, and everything stays the same, especially the Metric Buttload of speculation by all the keyboard jockeys on this and other lists. I find it very entertaining, and enormously time consuming. Oh, and that guy on the 125 is carving his way through the pack north of Bloomington...

And Bob Munden joins the pack. Bob riding a UCCC on a Honda 125 has caught up to the rally and is now ahead of several rally riders as he heads for Key West and completion of the smallest motorcycle to complete a UCCC quest. I believe he also completed an "Alaska Insanity" ride from Deadhorse...

Is the sleep bonus available each day, or each leg?

Dale, et al...... Thanks for your work and efforts. One thing I learned when working Corners at the races was that first of all our responsibility was to take care of ourselves because if we weren't at 100% we were no good to the riders we were there to assist. Keep up the good work.

There's no possible way an FJR can do this. Not enough weight up high....only a Connie could perform this incredible feat. ;)

Dana, If you can counter to counter it to Atlanta on NW/Delta I can pick it up at the airport and assist Pete here at my place in installing it. Jack Ferguson Ellenwood, GA 770-630-5205
