    A break in the action

    I still don't get it - the Rallymaster has the authority to broadly interpret the rules regarding Sportmanship and Assistance. Plus the IBA instituted the "red paper" bonii listings to try and head off one avneue of corruption - what these guys are doing is absolutely a parrallel of achieving a...

    A break in the action

    I am not a lawyer nor do I have any experience being a Rallymaster but it seems to me that this would constitute a violation of the published IBR 2007 Rules paragraphs A.2 Sportsmanship and A.4 Assistance. Seems also according to A.5 Interpretation, the Rallymaster's discretion is broad and...

    A break in the action

    That definitely takes a bit of the shine off for me. Its cheating as far as I am concerned. Where is the Rallymasters discretion in all this?

    Yet another HID experiment

    I have the same telscopic HIDs as GB and others on here. Installed them about a week before WFO - after first test ride, the right light would no long telescope. E-mailed vendor for resolution and after going through several e-mails, he informed me it was a factory defect so he would send me a...

    Bridgestone BT-021 Feedback

    Put a new 021 on the rear headed to WFO. Round trip was about 5,000 miles with the Utah BBG thrown in the middle. Absolutely love this tire - 1/2 inch strips tell the story, I will definitely buy another!

    WFO-6 Check-in, please....

    Made it home safe and sound today - spent a couple of days in Calgary with my sister and then burned home this afternoon. WFO was awesome - I'll post about my BBG later. Rich

    Inspiration

    Left Park City this am at about 9:30 and am heading north to Calgary (final home town is Kamloops, BC) to meet up with the family who I haven't seen in almost a week. Currently I am in a hotel room in Helena Montana typeing this and reflecting on the past few days in PC - I have to say I NOW...

    Heading out for WFO...

    Speaking of hospitality - I am at the Best Western in Kennewick and they are letting me park under the front promenade where all the guests arrive! Just so they can keep an eye on my bike for me! Fecking awesome I tell you.

    Heading out for WFO...

    Blistering in Tri-Cities today but ride down was good - loved the Coulee Dam but afterwards made a wrong turn and wound up in crop fields for hours - thought I was in Saskatchewan for a moment. ALso loved seeing green pine trees for a change - in BC, most of the forst pine has been ravaged by...

    BBG Hell Week - Mission Complete!

    I am so 'appy...

    I still don't have a room yet - couple of irons in the fire but nothing confirmed yet. Still crossing my fingers, I'll sleep in the lobby if I have to!

    I am so 'appy...

    I missed this event last year on literally a last minute pullout beyond my control - man was I pissed. Until today I didn't think I was going to be able to make it to Park City this year either. However, having drawn on my good karma reservoir everything has come together and woohoo I am now...

    Yet another HID experiment

    Okay managed to get the f'ing screw out so no worries (I hope - now have to figure out how to get it back in when I reassemble).

    Yet another HID experiment

    Just received my H4 telescopic kit I ordered off eBay - looks identical to the kit in OP's thread. Started ripping the nose fairing off last night but i have a question - there is one screw tucked away in the right side in front of the battery that is a ****** to get at - for those of you who...

    Yet another HID experiment

    Yeah crappy pics but as you say the price is right enough to take the chance. Will post result once I get them installed.
