    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    From Wednesday's update (sorry I'm behind ... work is such an interference!): Perhaps as impressive to the staff as Eric’s [Buskell] ride, was his demeanor on the phone with Lisa when he knew his rally was over. Despite the trolls on Facebook ranting about tired riders who are a danger to...

    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    11:15 am Eastern Daylight Time ... ... and there are still around 15 bikes heading to the Greenville Marriott. Here's hoping Warchild was understating the longer delays in Spotwalla postings near the finish time. Oops. Didn't read Mr. Corwin's post until after I spouted off.

    Of course, now you MUST bring that bike to EOM, SFO, WFO, CFO, CFR and probabaly a couple of other 'meetings' so we can touch your sacred Yamaha icon.

    Must be Ray's new (or old?) computer.

    Convert MyMaps.google.com to GPS files into BaseCamp

    If indeed Bascamp can directly import KMZ/KML, there is no need for GPS Visualizer. I gave up on Basecamp after several days of struggling, even trying to use Easy Ed's tutorial, so I have no idea what it can import. BigJohnSD quotes from BMW (who knows if they're accurate? ) that Garmin...

    Duchess & the Deer

    Cool! Duchess didn't chase them? My little rat terrier would've taken off like a cruise missile!

    Wondered about him last week. Have been assured he's alive and doing as well as can be expected of a former Forum member. (Thanks, Candy Butt prez.)

    Link didn't work for me. Maybe this link does. Click along the roadway in the distance, and you go over a rise and onto a steep downslope with a sharp left-hander. I suspect Senor Bounce remembers it because of a few uneasy moments of personal experience.

    1981 Honda CBX SuperSport followed me home...

    Inline six, funky bags, and a sweet fairing with a round headlight set in a square. Serious coolness, brother. And she's SO PRETTY! Can I ride it? Can I? Come on, man! Just for 20 minutes!?! I promise not to go faster than 90 and I'll bring it back with a full tank of gas. Come on, man...

    What's the CA in model FJR1300 ES CA?

    I'm proud of my FJR farts.

    Sighted in Midtown ATL, Tuesday, June 25

    Walking down Fifth Street and into the Georgia Tech hotel for lunch. North Dakota license plate and a Beta off-road t-shirt: Was this you?

    Dreaming with my eyes wide open

    Nicely done! You rides seem so fun! I gotta figure out how to do things your way. Just so you know, there's a Juliette, Georgia. It's between Bolingbroke and Flovilla. (Don't you just love place names?) Got a bedroom waiting for you in the Big ATL if you want it ... and we have two cats.

    Ummm, Why are the bonus list and bonus values in two separate documents? So the values can be adjusted more easily in the final days before the start? To add confusion to night-before route planning? <edited, an hour later> Individual bonus values range from 1 point (R04) to 8,297...

    I like oily jugs. Edited to reduce crass comments on this Forum.

    Tire recommendations

    "Spec" inflation to us is 40-44 psi, not what's printed on the sidewall. (Yes, every day FJR riders experience over-inflation blowouts so powerful that they register on California seismographs.)
