GR8 pix! They bring back memories - I did that ride from Calgary to BC back in 2003. Such a beautiful ride. Everyone in North America who has so far screwed themselves out of seeing the Canadian Rockies needs to get their priorities sorted.

Very cool. I used to race sailboats out from under Martin Airport in Maryland, home to the 175th Wing of the Air National Guard, a competition winning collection of A-10 pilots. It was always fantastic to watch them come in in sequence after a day of training. The A-10 is a really cool bird...

Awesomey.

Actually, it's music for one ear only, and hearing protection for NEITHER, unless it's custom made. Of course, that means I can wear exactly one of my spendy, custom-molded Big Ear speakers. That said, I have personal experience not seeing this law enforced. Every time I get a performance...

I am going straight to hell on accounta my hatred for cellphone talkin' effin' cagers. I hate them all. Beers in hell are on me until I say otherwise. Godspeed to the hapless moto-cyclist mowed down by our collective lamentable dregs.

Almost final report up: https://www.ironbuttrally.com/IBR/2011/15.pdf Hella competition. Crazy outcome. Lotta heroes. FJRs rule.

This post is TUP without pix.

It occurs to me that in about 3 hours time, when this whole thing is done, 80-some rather intense individuals may be prone to experience an intense emptiness in the pit of their stomachs, a sort of a "now what?". Many will be thousands of miles from home with a damn dirty bike in very real need...

Jim Croce said it best: Jim: just sayin'.

Go John Young, Go!!!! Here's your can of spinach:

Good man. Spidey Sense: always listen to the Spidey Sense.

From the citation: Doyle says the monument's location has been legally adopted by all the states as the official corner. So, while it may have been wrong when the monument was placed over 100 years ago, the states have all modified their boundaries to fit the monument. Using multiple sources...

Not bad 'tall. And thank you for not dicking it up by drowning out the sounds of the ride with too much blaring music. I just can't take m/c vids where the sound of the ride has been completely replaced by blaring music; I just don't get it when people do that. A little music is okay, but I...

It's kind of like catching yourself liking the S1000RR, isn't it? You're not supposed to like the much less robust final drive, but you do, and you find yourself all kinda distracted by the distinctive headlights.

Congrats, Iggy. Allow me to quote from Quake 4: "DOMINATING!"

Deal. I'll keep you posted. Also, I'll hit San Antonio and San Diego in the next couple of weeks, so if you're tavelin', we can settle up then. Back to the more likely, truth be told, I hate performance awards more than debt; you saved me a monster award. Thanks for that, this much (arms as...

Hole E ****! That was you???? Crap, I hate owin' anybody anythin'. This has to be resolved in a soup sammich kinda way. I think I have to crash EOM, 2011, on a beemer, no less, just to issue the requisite FYYFF in a TWN kinda way. (Too, it leaves more beer than pouring one on the ground for...
