ya, bummer, here is is current location:

His spot hasn't updated in quite some time. I thought maybe he was taking a rest bonus, which as you point out seemingly could be a good idea. However, his last spotwalla location doesn't hint to that idea:

Ya, but has anyone told rob that?? Roger continues to head east, he has plenty of time to get back to the CP if he takes a straight path, but not many riders are taking straight paths. You'd also assume he needs to get some sleep, wonder if has earned rest bonus on this leg. wonder if he knows...

...and with the masses taking a 4 day weekend it's going to be double-bad (no doubt already is)I spent a long 4th July wknd in Manhattan ..a great time to visit the city cuz everyone LEAVES, but all those leaving are not going to help Roger's cause) That's going to be a long spell of misery.

I don't recall every being so curious as to what the 2nd CP results will yield. I think we'll have a really good indication of the riders that have their mind around this puzzle and ....and then the super long (6day'ish) leg 3 will be where the grueling execution will come into play ...and we...

I've been laughing at that picture since it was posted. IrishPhil is one of a kind, LUV that guy.

Really awesome. How are those riders who choose the Gen3 doing?

Me Too Igster. It's really quite daunting and fascinating ..alone, before factoring in the other things you mention. I'm going to make a big prediction. You heard it from Reno first: Look for very solid performances from Erik Lipps, Ken Meese and Eric Bray. They all have minds for this puzzle...

Fantastic!!! Nothing is spurious. And 7 is no accident, take two dice and roll them infinitely, "7" will come up much more frequently than any other number. (16.667%of the time, vs 2.778% for the numbers 2 and 12) I think your diligent analysis will connect the dots. Let's not lose sight that...

The "Strings" component adds a purely morphological complexity. In a way somewhat reminiscent to the zip-code theme that Steve McCaa created for the 2016 BMR rally.The first step is getting your mind around it, understanding it, then figuring out how to execute. Not easy, IMO this rally (as we...

Awesome Timmerest, thanks for sharing. Really fascinating to break this down. One observation I made before you made it obvious is Bob Lilly BRUTE-FORCING himself into 2nd place. We'll see if these Brute force guys (Like Slayton) can stay fresh enough for the long hall. Kurt Worden needs to be...

This is a mind-burner rally. Certainly a thinking man's (& womanz) rally IMO.Because of that, I doubt we'll see many (any?) gen3 bikes at the top.

Sure fun to see the results and witness the fruit of some amazing effort and skills. Really hoping that MNFJR05 will put together an analysis of the Gen3 FJR placement in comparison the the faster eearler gen's of the FJR Initial glance it appears that there are considerable qty of both, being...

OK, since 2003 there have been qty18 riders riding GenI/Gen2 that have finished in the top 10. That includes qty 5 in 2013 and qty3 in 2015 So, winning riders choose gen1 gen2 bikes. Others don't. We agree, its the riders and the numbers show what winning riders choose to ride. So far...

Ha,Two Susuki's, one is a 43 year old 4cycliner 2stroke and the other is a 9 year old scooter. That doesn't say much for Zuk's sport touring line-up. It'll be interesting to see (percentage wise) how these two bikes fair against the Gen III.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Yamaha riders, on whole, ...the riders have newer bikes, Honda riders, on whole the older bikes and the majority to BMW which bike age falls in the middle (of the dominant Manufs.) I guess my interpretation is that Honda's last a long time and stick with...

Great to see info and banter on BMRx here. It is a very unique, fun and interesting event. Yes, it is that simple! ...and I'll add: All information needed to be a finisher is available weeks before the event. This means all corner bonus information, plus all info on the two mandatory rest...

This morning I received and email from Beemerdons, it was obvious his account had been hacked. I decided to come over here and see what he was up to. Only to learn this very sad news. Don was amazing. Amazing in his moto-bike passions, but also in his pursuit of life. He loved it, he...

I really like this stuff and nifty the way you've used and used an accepted (MotoGP) weighting system. Yes, not enough data and too many variables if you're looking just at bike performance. But there is a human element and it's consistent: BMW is the overwhelming favorite bike of IBR riders...

I'm with ya Iggster, priceless. Cheers to Dana's man on a GREAT ibr, what a spectacular performance.Also, Tobie sure did a nice job capturing some real moments and sharing with those of us in the bleachers.
