    Roadmagnet, that is funny! :clapping: I'm not quite at that stage (dress-wise) yet but I have to go out shortly and the bike is all I have, so ATGATT, even when viewing this site :) Cheers, Allan

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Oh... not good. I hope that the crasher is relatively unscathed and in good health. Sorry for the Beemer rider, too. Heartbreaker for sure. Thanks BwanaDik, I have Google Earth going big time trying to figure out how Davo was going to route, but then heard that he was going South which threw my...

    Looks like Davo has turned South on CDN 4 out of Rosetown, towards the town of Swift Current. Looks like an awkward route to Spokane from there. Cheers, Allan

    I believe that passport is required in both directions, so there is always a possibility of a random hold up getting through :glare: Davo looks to be in good shape at this time and, I suspect, heading for the barn on CDN 7. Cheers, Allan

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Yeah, it has been tough going this year to get my "fix" during the rally. '07 had a bunch of places to go with a lot of blogging/updates from the riders and friends - made for some very unproductive days at work :rolleyes: This forum has provided the best coverage by far this time around and...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Sorry to interrupt the excitement folks, but can anyone decrypt some of those green tags into actual rider names/IDs please? I am not familiar with any of the riders but when everyone is discussing where their heroes are, I am completely lost (not unusual for me :) ) Whatever the state of...

    Am i the only one that missed the whole iron butt principal

    What a great thread you started Carmine and many thanks to Cal24Master for taking the time to make that magnificent reply :clapping: It is obvious you are very passionate about LD riding and the IBR in particular. Personally, I have never done a rally of any sort and probably never will but I...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Jeeze it's slow around here. :derisive: Yup.... the F5 button is about worn out and I have a bunch of work to attend to :( This IBR has been painful to follow... perhaps they are getting us all trained up for future LD rides by providing deprivation experience? :devilsmiley: I'll be...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Sheesh! It has been a frantic few hours. Glad to hear that those who have had wildlife encounters are still doing well, even if the bikes are not. Best wishes to those injured for a quick and complete recovery, commiserations to those whose rally has been prematurely ended by forces beyond their...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Would that have something to do with the collapsed lungs? That sounded like "more going on" to me but I ain't a Dr so, DoctorJ, can you shed a little light on what the lung problems would require to get fixed? Really, all I needed to know was that Scott was alive and that he would remain that...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Tom, thanks very much for that detailed report. It is much appreciated when it has been so difficult to get info about the progress of all the riders this year. I am not "cheering" for any particular rider or brand, just hanging out for news as this event, probably more than any other...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    It would seem that this is a relatively new bulletin? https://www.usrecallnews.com/2009/01/nhtsa-3161.html Uh... it would seem that Super Tech Brodie has been there and done that already. https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...114602&st=0 Good that it has been done now, though. Cheers...
