The Rider's Banquet of the 2023 Iron Butt Rally has concluded. Lisa Landry, he IBR Rally Master and Jeff Earls, the Rally Planner, made their presentations and answered questions submitted by the Rally Rider's. Then the rally packages were distributed. Now it's up to the riders to come up...

There's a magical mixture of seriousness, hazing, and empathy to find resolutions to these issues. As tech inspector I found, accidentally, a mid-pack guy with a fuel cell once that was 0.1 gallons too much and made him go get a "fuel dipslacement device" that was 11 pounds of chain from Home...

Thanks Warchild! Also helped you to get back into your original account in the future by sending you a Facebook message.

Don't dither like I did trying a seat pad, an aftermarket seat, and then a cut-rate custom seat....when I should have gotten a truly custom seat at the beginning. Get a truly custom Russell Day Long fitted from them for you.

Day -2 report is up. Of particular note is two sentences I've been sitting on my hands about for over a year now when I visited and stayed at Chris' house in Ireland and sworn to secrecy: Read that and let it sink in.....that's not a joke.

This 1800'ish pxiel one is the best I've seen so far.

John Harrison is going to be the official scribe this year. He last helmed the position in 2013 and has put up the daily report "-3". Riders and staff are arriving to the Pittsburgh area (I started and finished there in 2013) and I'm sure things will start to get busy in the morning...

I did a windshield reivew for Gen 3 in 2014.

Sure. Search on "trooper mod" and see the variety of threads since 2005 including people later wanting spare cans to put them back to quiet, variations on how to do the mod, how many went with after-market pipes instead, and dozens of threads.

Room booked. Thank you organizers and looking forward to catching up with the community!

I did a double-take when you mentioned 2002 model and what I assumed was Bangor, Maine in the US. But, I see it's the Bangor that I remember seeing off to the starboard when I went from Belfast to Cairnryan a year ago after visiting my IBA friend, Chris, in Ballymoney. I didn't get to ride a...

Did you search the forum? I see the answer is yes in at least three threads.

BIke goes from not running, to running fine, to then super low compresion that's pretty similarly low in each cylinder? I'd be suspicious of that part of the diagnoses. Seems more likely and electrical issue to me. Something doesn't add up here. I'd get another opinion too.

This and many other threads about the subject. Search on "relay arm" and similar terms.

It's not that difficult. YOU need to send him a PM (aka a personal message) by going on his profile and choosing Start a Conversation. Don't presume he'll come to this thread and see your post.

There are only two seat models. For North America: Gen 1 2003-2005 and Gen 2+ 2006-present.

Sent message to user. Going to sort out original account. Let's not create second accounts on this forum. Thanks. The Management
