"Yellowstone in all three states..." The rallybook only shows one entry for Yellowstone ('take a picture of Old Faithful erupting'), so I would infer from that that you can only count ONE state for Yellowstone. I would say that if you could count it for multiple states, you would have to have...

"sorted..in different ways" My buddy, Eric Chernin, is in 73d place based on points. Also, according to the sorted spreadsheet, he is 73d based on states. Also 73d based on parks. He could win, if it were based on consistency. LOL

Interesting concept this 50 parks/25 states...In the past, if a rider arrived at a checkpoint after it closed (10 pm MDT in this case), they would not get credit for any points they collected on the just-ended leg(the first leg in this instance), plus they could not get points on the next...

The first one to leak was the standard (white, with black gasket) filter. The second was yeller (with red gasket). I have always used the 14612.

The bottom plate looks slightly convex, which, if it is supposed to be concave, would explain the bad fit. I never really looked at the bottom of one that closely before.

Here's an interesting discovery/problem. I have used Purolator 14612 filters on my 2008 for the last 50,000 miles (and my other bikes for circa 200,000 miles or more). Ten days ago, I changed the oil prior to riding in the Mason Dixon 20/20 rally. When I got back, I found I had an 'oil leak'...

Look inside the upper left breast pocket for the mfg date. I just got one off ebay that looks brand spanking new, and the mfg date is 3-19-93!

Re: sliding: Kevin Schwantz crashed at VERY high speed (up in New England, I believe). The first corner worker to him yelled "Kevin! are you alright? What day is it?". And Kevin replied: "For as long as I slid, it could be Tuesday".

TLGa is a fun rally. Unfortunately for me, for 2014 the rally book and the bonus 'time available' list were not in sync. The rally book showed a time window for my first bonus, but the time available list showed it as being available 24 hrs. Guess which one I double checked against?? Sitting in...

I just realized what he is actually doing. He is signaling for a right turn, so Crutchlow will have a better chance of not running off the track.

Meh. If he were looking at the people he was waving at, I would be impressed. The kid is making racing fun again - for Vale at least. Not so much for Jorge or Dani, et al.

Ship it to Europe. Store it in Ireland or Deutschland for $300 per year. The let me borrow it.

The question is why would anyone NOT like a RDL? Easy answer: when I first got my BMW R1150RT, it had RDL on it. I hated it. I did a 3 hour ride, and couldn't wait to get off of it. It created a lot of pressure on the back of my thighs halfway between my knees and tushie and I was almost in...

"Congrats nankoweap. It appears you got a very good deal"... Have you ever seen Jason? The word 'intimidating' comes to mind.

"I am considering this as my first rally. Is this a good one for beginners?" A 10 or 12 hour rally would be a better introduction to this affliction since they don't involve riding at night, but there is nothing wrong with the 24-32 hour beasts for newcomers. The nice thing about the long...

"So you don't know or you aren't telling if the Fort Meyers ferry is worth a million points?" Two items: (a)I don't think the ferry is running any more, and ( the ferry is passengers only. So, unless you are Kevin Lechner...

Hwy 27 takes you near Fantasy of Flight...Bunch of awesome planes there (Connie, PBY, B24, B25, P51 et al)

"Wonder if the guy heading north on I-5 has his GPS turned on?" If I were a betting man, I would lay my money on it being Sal.

Re Tobie's latest gallery. In the third picture (a panorama), look at the 'man' in the red jacket. I didn't know Vulcans/Romulans were allowed in the IBR... Also - does anyone know who is riding the red Norge? You talk about no dealer support if you have a breakdown...

I know that Lisa is a real sweetie, and would never do anything to the riders that would cause hair-pulling, teeth gnashing, hemorrhoid popping or any other signs of anguish, but... If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Gettysburg, PA being one of the bonuses. With a window that...
