    Sturgis 2017 Anyone?

    The old links...the pictures have been Photobucketed....but the commentary will help with the gist of the "reporting"... https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25092 https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25183 https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25485

    Sturgis 2017 Anyone?

    Bounce, You apparently missed the first 3 installments...there were to put it mildly, a parody of the entire event. Knowing myself, I can safely assume the next installments will be a continuation in the same genre of reporting. I am allowing the boy to attend with me only because it appears...

    Sturgis 2017 Anyone?

    Well, seeing as how Photobucket has demolished the previous documentation of "MNFJR05, Living with the Harley-Dite Tribe" expedition documentation from ohh so many years ago, your intrepid explorer will be joined by his son this year to explore the evolution of the Harley-Dite Tribe in their...

    Festar is here, we have a little Pre-Sturgis ride planned

    We will see you in Sturgis this year John...MNFJR05 and Son are going to live with the Harley-Dite Tribe for a couple of days...maybe time for another installment or two of "MNFJR05 Living with the Harley-Dite Tribe." The boy hasn't seen the restless Harley-Dites in their native lands, so I am...

    Shock needed for Greg L. Between GA and Minnesota

    I can vouch that the Gen 3 shock will work for him as my stock shock out of my 2013 is riding around the country in Erik Lipps 2012...

    Yes, I talked with that rider....those are cooling tubes to bring cool air to his nether regions...he fabbed them on site at the Marriot before he left Minneapolis. Shop Vac hoses to be exact...

    I wish I had a bit more data...would probably require some help from Jason at Spot...I would like to see points and mileage before and after their rest stops, time of day efficiency, etc. And yes BikerGeek, some of the noted Spurious Stats have no basis in causality of result...in fact...most...

    FJRForum Official 2017 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    I am working up a full list of spurious stats for all of you that I shall get posted a little later today. However, I have noticed one little stat that surprised me... Those riders(5) with 7 characters in their name outscored the rest of the field by an average of 4,000 points in Leg 1. The...

    In a Land1-Land2-Land3-Land4-Land5-Land6-Land7-Land8-Land9 strategy, assuming you have no problems, wouldn't one be able to claim Land 3 thru Land 9 all as double bonus points??? I see 7 strings, albeit with overlap. Perhaps the official rules require a reset to zero when the string is completed.

    Penalty points Dana, after 8pm...10pm I think is cutoff for DNF...and I think we have another rider who may be in real danger of not making it...pulled over north of OKC...one of the riders who took the Canadian excursion...
