    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Having ridden in four of these, I am quite certain that I am incapable of doing this. Not even close. By hour 3, I would be literally screaming "**** it" and heading off to my bike. Of course, this tendency likely led to me making more mistakes in the two rallies Jeff designed than any other...

    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Huge props to Paul Slaton for taking his FJR to the bonus on the Keweenaw Peninsula (KROCK). That was the toughest technical riding I've ever done in a rally (having fully loaded panniers and street tires aired up to 44 psi did not help matters). Some of the "mud puddles" were knee deep and...

    2019 Iron Butt Rally Details Announced - Starts Monday 6/17 in South Carolina

    Me too. Why do I always run into you during my summer vacation... Literally leaving for the start in 10 minutes [getting maintenance and fresh tires, staging bike, flying home for the week].

    YIPPEE! Big Money Rally for 2019

    The man, the myth, the legend. Couldn't have ridden my first 50CC without him

    Going to the Dark Side

    I can't for the life of me understand why people who are dead set on never trying a car tire even open up this thread.

    2018 Tour of Honor

    It was a RAV, and the memorials on the Western side of the state were connected by very small roads. I wanted to be done before sunset so I had already ridden to the MD/VA border on the DELMARVA peninsula prior to midnight. I hit the last memorial right at sunset and only had about a 90 minute...

    Thanks Griff. How long did your ride take?

    2018 Tour of Honor

    I'll be attempting a Trophy ride on Sunday. I have probably ridden about 200 miles in 2018, so maybe I won't have the stamina to complete it. Sad

    BMR 2018 is cranking up!

    Hud, please continue to post pictures of all the Bird bonuses that you find. If you could include lat/longs as well....that'd be great.

    New SENA helmet coming soon

    Charging on the fly may also be a pain. With the Sena module that attaches to the helmet, I can pop it off and have it charging while I take a break. For really long rides like the IBR, I have a second one with me that is always charging so I can swap them after about 10-12 hours of riding.

    BMR 2018 is cranking up!

    I suspect that it is not very hard to talk Griff into a high scoring weekend ride....

    BMR 2018 is cranking up!

    I'm in for the 6th year in a row. Best thing to happen to motorcycling that occurs between Jan and May in the history of motorcycling....

    Sena --Ride Connected app

    I've put my helmet on in my living room and used it to talk to someone in Germany.

    Now That the 2017 IBR is Done: Other Rallies?

    That's funny that she beat him. I scored her and she didn't seem the least bit interested in what her score was. I explained to her why she was losing points and she just pointed over at Chuck and said "whatever, he plans the route...I just ride".

    BAD DOG! July 2018 Cognoscente Group event

    Yes, but your last Cognoscente Rally was a podium finish....I think that is a much better predictor
