    5 Hour Energy

    Then 5 Hour Energy should make you a *RockStar* for 3-4 hours :) For me, it's more like 15 minute energy, the two times I tried it. The more important question would be, "If a man speaks in the woods, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?"

    Beartooth Highway Part 1

    We were just there last week. Sadly there was some bike thing going on. Not the motorcycle thing in Redlodge, but a bicycle thing. Probably a few THOUSAND people trying to pedal their fat ***** up over Beartooth at .8 MPH from the base into Cooke City. I'm being facetious. Not everyone...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    I'm *thinkin* the batteries in his SPOT have gone Kaput. Tracking had slowed for him quite a bit, then just dropped off. That last spot is less than an hour away and was time stamped at 05:25am so he's probably in and sleeping. That would be my hope anyway.

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    He was sleepin, give the guy a break, he just laid out two back to back BBG's and then some, on the back of some already pretty monstrous rides. At 33 hours out, he's 19 hours from the barn with less than a handful of boni between him and the barn and really straight shot, unlike some of those...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    Wrong side of the island me thinks. We can only speculate until the boni for leg 3 comes out. In keeping with tradition(?) with higher values on leg 3 maybe they gave a multiplier for leg 1 boni. Or maybe they broke tradition, and leg 3 stuff is worth a whole lot less. Which doesn't make...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    It's not Tony. It looked like it would take nearly the impossible to catch and pass Iggy/ or Eric. I doubt this person knows that Eric is out, if he's out. Certainly didn't know that when they departed and set course for Key West. So that's what this person is after, it appears, 'The...

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    ./me wonders if he/she is making a bee-line for Key West. Seems to be alone in what ever though process they have going on. He/she is riding like the wind though. :)

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    Dang, I was pulling for Sal to be a finisher. He's a great guy, with the worst rally luck sometimes. Still pulling for him, hopefully he bagged enough boni prior to his valve stem issue and can weather some of the penalties for being late.

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    Last time I looked, this wasn't an 'Efficiency Rally'. Meaning most points win, not most points per mile. I've not yet ridden the IBR, but one rally in particular that I do participate in has the Jim Young Memorial trophy for the most efficient ride/rider (points per mile). My riding...

    Josh clocked the *most* miles: 9 J. P. Mountain 95 06 YAM FJR1300A 18936 4340 In the MD2020 very few points separated Josh and Scott. Both with completely different routes. both are machines.

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    Amen to that, Dickson is first class. Really pulling for Josh. I really hope he didn't out-ride himself on the first leg. He's a machine, but 1000 miles than others for the same (or less points) might be over-reaching just a little. A boat load of impressive rides are happening, Scott on...

    Ram X mount

    OK, I'll go the other way. I have one, and I use it occasionally. 1) I don't 100% trust it, I'm not sure just how large the pot-hole has to be to dislodge the phone, but I can see that happening. Though it hasn't happened yet. 2) The nature of the thing as the X pinches it now has 'slop' for...

    how to open glovebox with no power

    Slardy, Been thinking about this since earlier. I think if you remove the left side lower, and associated inner black plastic that comes off with it you'll be able to get to it. From there Use the TSB for the 17MPG dash recall for the 06 that's on my website for a step by step at pulling the...

    Has anyone had a main relay go bad?

    Slardy, That really really sounds like an S6/S7 spider, the one up front on the left (if you were sitting on the bike). Do you have headlights? I had all of those same symptoms, minus the headlights when mine was fried. -MD Edit: The Spider that I might add, that the wiring harness...
