    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    Hopefully the family will ask for an autopsy to look for injuries consistent with a properly secured helmet coming off secondary to impact. Or: 15 IBR's x 11 Days = 165 IBR days. 165 IBR day's / 3 Fatalities = 1 Death every 55 IBR days. Enough with the parsing, OK? Death is death and I'm...

    2009 Iron Butt Rally - Official Daily Reports

    I was reading the daily report. Is this years scribe a BMW guy? Maybe being an FJR fan, I'm biased, too, but the scribe seems to be shilling and covering for BMW. Sportster
