    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    I know six FJRs who are darksiding for sure, so I am predicting 3 out of every 4 FJRs in this IBR will be Darksiders. Kind of already done. "Hard Miles" followed the 2007 IBR and "Hard Miles 2" followed the 2009 IBR. Of the two, I would recommend the second installment--more footage of Ignacio

    I also think Erik is going to do extremely well, however Top rookie is a lot of pressure. In 2013, 5 of the top 7 riders were rookies, including first and second place

    I really find long rallies less stressful than short rallies. A 12-hour rally can be crazy as getting five minutes behind schedule can throw off your entire plan. Over a 11 day rally, if your plan goes off the rails for any number of reasons, you will probably have the time, even if it takes...

    Basecamp help, I need help I tell yah!

    I know this is almost like telling you which oil is better, but I highly recommend learning how to use Basecamp if you use Garmin GPSs. It has been improved greatly over the last 2 to 3 years. I have shown several hardcore S&T users how to use Basecamp, and every one of them has switched...

    Basecamp help, I need help I tell yah!

    If you are doing many edits to a Route that is long or has many waypoints, one way of not having to wait for a recalculation every time you do something is to: (1) set the route to the "Direct" Activity Profile (which will result in showing straight lines between all waypoints), (2) make all of...

    Basecamp help, I need help I tell yah!

    First, all Basecamp questions really should include whether you are using a Mac or PC. The two versions are not the same. They have independent software development teams which are making no effort to synchronize their efforts. I am assuming you are using a PC and am giving my opinion below...

    2015 Iron Butt Rally

    I don't know that it is published on any specific page, but here is the answer to your question: The rally is divided into three legs: - The first leg starts in Albuquerque at 10 am on June 29th, and finishes in Albuquerque the evening of July 2nd. - The second leg starts in Albuquerque the...

    Get the flock out of the left lane.

    I'm convinced that many people who do it are so terrified of driving that they are drawn to a lane where they know that other cars can only be on one side of them. +1. When you're not in a big city, TX drivers are without a doubt the most courteous and un-selfish drivers I've ever seen with...

    Heading for IBR Start - via all Lower 48

    You just begged the Rally Master to ban FJRs in the IBR, and now you're posting on FJRForum.... Does your hypocrisy know no bounds

    Haven't figured that out yet...that may be the biggest disadvantage to riding the FJR.

    BMRx Rally - Friday 4:15 a.m. to Sunday 22:51

    Scott's not riding in the IBR this year. Also, his FJR broke down on the recent Mason Dixon 20-20 Rally leaving him stranded. I think something to do with his clutch. Ignacio brought up Erik. Add Perry Karsten to the list. He has already announced that he is participating over on the Dark...

    BMRx Rally - Friday 4:15 a.m. to Sunday 22:51

    I completely agree with you with regard to the 5 month long BMR. My intent was to communicate why that format adds challenges to an "on the clock" rally. I've had countless scenarios in "on the clock" rallies where motorcycle headlights were not an option, and the options to control the camera...

    His only way to be notified is to check the website and scan through his bonus submissions. By the time he notices, I suspect he'll be too far away to come back.

    BMRx Rally - Friday 4:15 a.m. to Sunday 22:51

    I have participated in the BMR for three years now and one down side to this format is the requirement to use a cell phone to take photos. This really reduces the options available to quickly take high quality night photos. In the recent Mason Dixon Rally, Rick Miller asked for volunteers to...

    That is correct. Reno John made several public announcements, including on the LDRider list, announcing the rally when it was open for registration.

    tail bag that fits on rear seat

    I am a fan of the Wolf Tail by Wolfman. Used one in rallies for the last three years.
