I am registered and paid. See y'all there.

Wendy, As you know I don't ride a FJR but I do use a V1. I still think the V1 is the best for LD riding due to the arrows. The Escort Redline is the second choice but it does not have the arrows. It is nice to know when a nice officers is coming up behind you and you need to "move over" for...

Tony, I hope you can come to a good decision on whether to apply or not for the 2015 IBR. I hope you do apply. You had some great wisdom from Wendy.Here are my responses. How many times have you applied? - I have applied 4 times ( 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 ) How many times have you been selected...

Jason, Looks like stole ( like always ) a damn good motorcycle. Nice job. If you go dark you can go all day and all night.

Tony, Congratulations on your finish. You had a great ride. This will be something you can build on for the future.

Congratulations to all of the FJR riders. This rally was truly yours!

There is going to be a lot of very strong FJR competitors on the starting line. Hopefully there will be enough room on the podium for all of you. Specter, how was Japan? I lived there for 5 years back in the early 1980's and got to ride from top to bottom. It was a cool place to ride.

Congrats to all of the riders. Nice to see there are some open roads out there to put on some good miles.

I have completed all of my work on the wing for this years Iron Butt Rally except tires and oil. Here is a link to some photos of the wing ready to ride. It will load slow the first time as there is some background audio. There is a control at the bottom left to stop the music...

It will be good to see how a new FJR does. I am curious about the cruise control limitations. I will talk to Howard.

Looks like a lot of FJR riders coming to play. Anyone riding a 13' in the IBR? Trailering huh, I was thinking about pulling a trailer but putting a bike on a trailer.....

I have had a few people contact me regarding riding a 100CCC during the time I am riding my 100CCC / BBG Trifecta but their plans are to use the full time allotted for the 100CCC which is 100 hours so I have changed the start date for my 100CCC Week ride to Sunday midnight to give these riders...

Tony, Here is a table of some target times for the ride. This is just an initial pass and I am sure I will be tightening them up over the next couple months. There is a 4 hour stop at the end of each BBG except the last one and there I have a 2 hour stop.

Are you an extreme LD rider? ( or want to be ) Do you want to really test yours and you machines limits? Have you ever wanted to attempt an extreme 100CCC? ( this is not your grandmothers 100CCC ) Have you ever wanted to attempt a BBG Trifecta? If so checkout the ride I am planning for next...

I resemble that remark so no offense taken. :) When I finish my third BBG Trifecta on a wing, which will be my 22 BBG, I will still be glad I was on a wing.

When is Yamaha going to make a LD motorcycle that can compete with the wing? Yea, cruise and traction control up the FJR’s game but it just can’t compete with the wing. :P

I was pretty close to Tony's times but screwed around each night to where I only ended up with 2+ hours of actual sleep each night.

I rode a few miles to make it even. :) Matt, We got a little over 2 hours sleep each night. More than enough. :)

Tony, Received this today. :yahoo:

Hey, I have only done 2 so far but I plan to do 10. :lol:
