    ButtLite 8 July 3 - 9

    What a class act TeamStrange is! I rolled up on Friday to attend scorers' meeting and also check in on why RFLAGG and Dajuice are indeed afraid of multi-day rallies :) . Great seeing Behmer, Derek, Tripper and others there as well. Besides seeing the two IBR champs, I was having some Canadian...

    Sure. But 1, 4, 5 are not BMWs! Hehe. Just a comment that there are several incorrect machines listed on the results. Mike H. was running a GSA, the Nuehring bros were running the shiny red FJRs, Greg L ran an FJR, etc. A list was pulled off Ridemaster so if you previous registered with a...

    Yeah I have to be moving off the bike. Some people think I'm an ultra competitive person but really I just need to move around due to the 14-20 hours of daily sitting. I think this is the wrong crowd for 5, 10, 20k. But I think its a cool idea. Kirsten would outrun me for sure anything over 5k...

    The glue just started separating. I can't tell you why. I gorilla glued them back and that worked for a while. Then while jogging in upstate NY they came off completely. I took of helmet at Eleanor Roosevelt's house and started making moon boots. Roadrunner it wasn't socks that kept me dry it...

    The states they count for are provided, in the case of Lady Lib-->NY. Hi! Gotta go (This is the first IBR we are allowed to post things, but strongly discouraged from doing so) Oh I think efficiency with miles in the denominator is funny because a mile in Manhattan is not very efficient...

    I don't get it. At checkpoints there is nothing to route (in most past rallies). You get your fresh rally pack in the morning after a good nights sleep, no?

    To RussPerry: reasons for switching: Waze, seeing texts and such, v1 app, Waze, and Waze.

    I rode 3 gps in 2013. A lot of people like to say plan the ride and ride the plan. But that isn't always optimum when rally planning has to occur "on the clock" (legs 2 and 3). I keep one GPS with active route under the hammer, will run all the way to a checkpoint or a high point time limited...

    Just to clarify, wishing the FJRs safety and podiums and the BMWs safety. ;) All kidding aside, finding the 2011 thread on this forum changed my life. I read every post (all hundred and some pages) and was hooked. I email Lisa L some sort of , "hey I wanted to check out this IBR, how can I...

    Preparation for me is a little scatterbrained with the move to the east coast. I go back and for to Cali couple times per month so I try to knock out a few things in advance (fork rebuild, weld pillion seat attack point on sub frame). Of course "in advance" means before this week. Like RFLAGG I...

    You can't go wrong rooting for one of the ERIC(K)s, oh wait one of them is stubbornly at a disadvantage by not riding the three peat enabling FJR and another came to his senses (RFLAGG). Guess it's a wash. Great group.

    Yeah, Bounce it probably is. I don't have the manual or bottles in front of me as I'm on the east coast for a bit. They charge around $9 for maybe a 12 oz bottle?. You need a bottle and a half to get the system full (cothing and unit). I got four bottles so I could take enough with me for total...
