Posted by velvet fog.."Here's Mr. Bertram entering the Red Loin parking lot. " I would say this his would have been red after piloting that wee beastie for some very long miles :lol: A great effort to make it to the finish line - a very determined rider. :clapping: Cheers, Allan

Thanks Warchild. I didn't mean to open a can of worms with my post, just express my disbelief at what apparently happened. Feel free to delete any of my posts that you feel are inappropriate and return this thread to a more even keel. Again, thanks for your efforts to keep us informed during and...

At some point, on one of the forums I have been frequenting during IBR time, somebody trundled out the National (USA) Accident Stats for motorcyclist deaths (I think from 2005???) which was something like 33.9 deaths per 100,000,000 miles ridden. I must admit, I looked at those figures and felt...

You and me, both :) I don't think that I have read or heard of any "in depth" description of the aftermath of these marathon rallies but I sure would be interested if anyone knows of any. I also think that it is part of the people who do these events, too private and , perhaps disturbing, to...

Congratulations to the winner, well deserved I'm sure but congratulations to ALL of the participants, finisher or not, for taking on this monumental rally and giving it everything they had. They should feel like winners, too. :clapping: Thoughts and prayers to Davo and his family. I am really...

Terrible news about Davo (Aussiedave) and he was so close to the barn, too. My thoughts are with the family and friends right now and prayers for Davo's speedy and complete recovery. I just don't know what else to say :( Congrats to all those who made it home - well done :clapping...

Thanks for the update Cal24Master - brilliant! That is going to make for an interesting time at the finish, for sure :) Cheers, Allan

Well, I have spent the last 20 mins or so trawling all the other sites that I knew had been carrying an IBR thread and there is nobody there but here, there are 83 viewers as I type - this MUST be THE PLACE! :clapping: My "guestimate" time of arrival for Aussie Davo has just passed. I hope...

Cal24Master seemed to have the hot stuff earlier on but he ain't here on the board at the moment... Booo! :) That Nexus card sounds pretty neat, is that just for US citizens or can they be applied for by other nationalities? Sorry to be just generating noise folks.

Not for a while, at least. I do have things to do unfortunately but I will be hangin' about here for another couple of hours. :) You guys are up early and I find that a little harder to deal with :(

For me, it is Saturday tomorrow (in about half an hour from now) so my employer ain't gonna worry :D (self employed)

Continuing my "guestimate" of Davo's whereabouts... if all is going to plan he should be nearing Coeur d'Alene about now. Anyone have anything? Cheers, Allan

Heh! There's a bunch of us, sitting up late/early, staring at a screen and hitting refresh every 30 seconds... but nobody is saying a thing! :D

Davo (Aussie Dave) should be at the border (Eastport) about now.

Mmmmm... Skooter has a very long night in front of him, he will need to be careful. The next four have not so long a night but still a fair bit of riding to do, for sure. The others seem to be on target to get back comfortably (I hope). Thanks for the updates Tom. I have nothing concrete to...

If I am guessing right, Davo should have about 350km left to go to Spokane and will be coming down that same stretch of road to the Eastport crossing. Maybe one and a half to two hours before he gets there and another two hours to Spokane? How's my guessing? :) It could be a busy night for...

Wow! Thanks for the updates folks. Good to hear that TurboDave is home and safe. Boy, there is a bunch of guys 'n gals still out there in the dark... I hope and pray that they, too, make it back in one piece. I suspect Aussie Davo is still in the hills somewhere in Canada, my guess is around...

The way Aussie Davo was heading, I think he may be taking the second part of the second route (above) on Highway 3. That looks to be quite hilly and bush covered - not all that flash at night? I wish him safe passage and anyone else contemplating this route. Anyone else heard anything about...

Davo is the Aussie, "Davo" Jones on the C-14. Since he be from Downunder I have been keen to follow his rally in particular. I have no idea where TurboDave is, unfortunately. :( Cheers, Allan

Davo is, I hear, WEST of Lethbridge which has, again, sent my "possible" routes out the window. Is he doing the IBA National Parks tour as well? :lol: Cheers, Allan
