    FJRForum Official 2017 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    For me, the first thing that comes up is the conflict between (1) being proud of what I just did and really just enjoying the moment, and (2) being extremely critical of what I just did and second guessing what I could have done in order to finish higher. The IBR is intense and I give a lot of...

    FJRForum Official 2017 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    John, we received via e-mail the locations of all bonuses the day before the start in .gpx, .csv, and .txt format. An IBR first, at the completion of every leg's rider's meeting, we were sent an e-mail with the point values for that specific leg, in .txt and .csv formats. I have never been up...

    This is Kurt's third IBR in a row on a 250cc Ninja. Bike is almost completely stock, including the seat.

    2017 HW3 Heaven and Hell Rally - August 11th-13th - Grand Junction, CO

    If anyone has the time, I highly recommend this rally. You are guaranteed to end up on some amazing, twisty, and very scenic roads out west.

    No. Maybe the day before the rally starts.

    Clearwater Lights install instructions?

    If I was buying today, I would absolutely get the Krista/Erica hybrid option due to the narrow beam pattern of the newer Kristas.

    BMRx 2017 Rally is Open for Registration

    I also recommend BMRx to anyone who would like to try a multi-day event. For the casual participant, the submission of bonus photos using your cell phone, and near real time scoring, is a unique feature that makes the admin much more easy. Last time, I was up and riding within an hour of...

    2017 Iron Butt Rally

    For those who were asking about checkpoints, IBA just released all the information you need in the IBA Forum (in a thread accessible to all forum members). At this time, they requested that people not cross-post the specific hotel information. START WEEKEND 6/24 - 6/25 (location is west...

    Toll Transponders

    I have decided that EZ Pass and Pike Pass are the only two worth carrying. On an average IBR, I wouldn't even carry a Pike Pass, but with the location of the two checkpoints, I think it is prudent to have OK, KS, and North Texas covered. In my travels, OK has to be one of the more frustrating...

    Looking For Best Route Connecting I-10 and I-15

    Tony, IMO the only way to make that transition (I-10 to I-215 to I-15) efficiently is by selecting a good time of day--at night or early in the morning on a weekend. The mountains just don't offer any other alternatives. I would also lean towards taking US-95 out of Blythe on a typical trip...

    Who Has Access to this Area

    You would be welcome to my racing stripes, however I suspect that four years of having never washed my FJR may have resulted in them being irrevocably fossilized... See you in Minneapolis.

    Who Has Access to this Area

    Howdy. I have decided not to ride my FJR this time. If anyone who is riding a FJR would benefit from one of the following, let me know: - 10.5 gallon Frankentank for a Gen II (not willing to ship this) - spare rear wheel for an '07 with ABS. I think that means it will fit an '07 or earlier...

    1" ram ball mount for cell phone

    If you are willing to commit to a certain phone/case combination, these phone holders are awesome. https://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/ For every mount, there is a list of choices and one of the choices is a 1" ram ball.

    2017 Tour of Honor

    Sites were released last night. I can't ride this weekend, but I was happy to see that (1) someone posted a .gpx file of all sites on the website, and (2) the website posted .pdf files by state/region with all the pics on a single page (I used to go through the sites and save every pic on my...

    RTE in Raleigh, NC Sunday March 5

    I realized last night that from my house, to all three SR bonuses, and back to my house is 1,550 miles. I may try a BBG out of this. I won't have time to get any other bonuses, but the number seems too perfect :-) Hud, please send me your route. If I don't ride the BBG, maybe I'll join you...

    RTE in Raleigh, NC Sunday March 5

    I'll try to be there. Are you hitting the SR bonus before or after you show up at the Sports Bar? Also, are you hitting the GA SR bonus that morning, or on your way home? [never mind, I see the order of cities in your original post].

    2017 Iron Butt Rally

    Riders just found out a few weeks ago, but the locations are not public yet. They will be once they give the riders enough time to make reservations at the specific hotels.
