    FJRForum Official 2019 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Yes, I'd like to vote for conservative routing. Although it's less exciting and adventurous than high-value Alaska bonii, there's some solid value in the higher travel speeds, availability of services, lighting at night, and alternate routes offered by major highways in the US and Canada...

    for sale 2005 fjr in s.e. Michigan

    Damn, brother! Six multiples and a seventh with a minor thread title change! NEW WORLD RECORD! By the way, multiple postings will not increase the likelihood of a sale.

    Day 4 opens fine for me. (Chrome on a Windows box.)

    Back on page 16, one of the FJRs belongs to our own earthrooster. You go, brother! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Warchild posted a link to the Leg 1 standings, which link to the official scorecards listing the bonii credited to each rider...

    Honda nc750x as second bike

    To make my own worthless contribution, my wife has a FZ-07 and it is a blast -- although it has rather small frame, making me feel like I'm riding a mini-bike.

    Installed LED Headlights today

    Two points ... 1) If you don't ride at night, this is an expensive and time-consuming upgrade. Especially if you're adding auxiliary lights. 2) "Brights" leave a dark spot in the foreground? While true, this is insignificant when riding at night. When you ride through the darkness with...

    ^^^^ What he said. Without the rally pack (bonus list) we're guessing about locations, point values, and penalties. Don't IBR rules require check-in by a certain time to avoid collecting an automatic DSQ? Same 'drop dead' concept for reporting to the scorer's table, right? (Riders are...

    F*** Garmin

    Funny thing about roads? They don't move often. Ten-year-old maps are still pretty useful. If you're also relying on their Points of Interest features -- which I don't -- you probably already know that gas stations and restaurants go out of business, especially in rural areas.

    Sena 20S

    Maybe I should go backwards with the technology, and replace my Sena model 20 units with Sena model 10 units.

    Sheep skin

    Hope it works for you. I've got a Laam that was ever so comfy for four consecutive days of 800+ miles. If the discomfort is not actually in/on your ***, have you tried riser plates or pulling back your handlebars? There's a great old thread around here somewhere ... aaahhhh yes. Here it is...

    ear buds or in helmet bluetooth

    ^^^ I wear these now, too, dzane. Plugs come in a slick aluminum tube that attaches to the FJR key ring, so plugs are always available and convenient when mounting up!

    Bike **** .....

    Hold on, Babaloo. It's in NEPRT because it's pointless (that's what the P stands for) and if you read the first three or four responses, you'll see that no one else did either. Now, if you close your eyes and listen to the video ... Would have loved to hear Redfish's meeting with his IT...

    There's no telling what the actual bonus object is until we see the bonus list. The Leg 1 list may be released after the time window closes at checkpoint 1; maybe not. As for the specific object at the Everglades Marina? Who knows? Maybe the bonus is to bring back a tourist key ring...

    There are lighthouses on Okracoke (near Kitty Hawk) and at Ponce Inlet (near New Smyrna Beach), and both are on roads traveled almost exclusively by tourists.
