I hope the rider currently down in Lufkin didn't screw the pooch by heading off south...They are going to be oh so close on 8pm cutoff for penalty accruals...

2008 Bergman is the other Suzuki...

Well Reno, There are only 2 Gen 1 FJRs in the rally. All the other FJR riders are on Gen 2&3 bikes. It shows up in the very tight standard deviation around the mean. The Honda distribution has a distinct longer left tail. Only 7 of the Hondas are 5 years old or newer. The BMWs are a right tail...

I am betting a few riders are going to be into the penalty window...but it looks like everyone should make it into the next leg...I don't see anybody outside the disqualification window at this time.

A few totally spurious facts about this year's field... Count % Avg Age Min Age Max Age STD of Age Brand % of Field Aprilia 1 0.9% 2006...

And the BMW is once again on the move!!!

A BMW K1600...on autopilot back to the mothership it looks like...if they have Sam and Sydney's number they can call for advice...history repeating itself??? I hope not...but...I checked the dealer website...they have a new 2015 1600GTL in stock...they can trade him out and he can be on his way...

I hope the two riders in western Nebraska have cover...they have the first weather I have seen swooping in on them...I am seeing a little bit of a bow echo on radar...bow echo=not so good....

Iggy, Cottonwood Canyon Rd on an FJR is not the wisest endeavor. You were lucky the washes weren't running a little bit of water in them. I think it would be impassable on a bike. A "high clearance four-wheel drive" vehicle would be required per the BLM. If Jim Owen took the "road" up from Big...

One of those riders appears to be on a dinosaur string based on where he has been too...maybe a real long string nets a monster bonus???

Two riders dropping into Moab...I wonder if the stuffed donkey at Hole in the Rock is in play...would require a "tour" to get that shot and I am not sure photography is allowed...hmmmmm. The Rock Shop in Moab is full of fossils...or the new dinosaur dig north of town...Moab Giants.

Someone just reeled in a giant crappie in Hornbeak, TN at the Kirby Pocket Day Use area...

Someone is tempting fate and having lunch at Taco Bell in Grand Island...oh how I hope they have a strong stomach...

And as I was making my way to my bike to head off and take care of things on the home front I turned to my right at the odometer testing area...a group of bikes lined up...ready to roll..and I remembered the rider with the sunny disposition and bright shirt from earlier...a little inspiration...

The other constant here is the number of adhesive backed and ziptied elements attached to almost every bike... Well, this is the FJR Forum and I have made the first step in moving my life from the midwest to southwest in the next few years. So to that end, I present to you some...

The other distinction of this event is the level of backup I witnessed on almost every bike entered...if you are going to run in the IBR it now appears that everyone is running multiples of everything...here is a small sampling of the dash configurations I ran across. And riders have...

I had a chance to look over the inspection sheets as I found one riders paperwork blowing around the ground in the lot. I did return the paperwork to Dale....I am sure he will get it back to its rightful owner...but I didn't see anything about regulations on hair...a good thing for this rider I...

Once "gifted" with their paperwork it is off to the parking lot and the real action begins to take place. Riders appear with their gear and paperwork and proceed to prostate themselves before Warchild...no wait...they really don't do that...they appear before the technical inspectors and one by...

Welcome from a cool Minneapolis were a daytime high of 64 greeted riders in the 2017 IBR. Your un-official IBR photojournalist is here to give you a peek into the preparations for this year's IBR. While not as talented as Toby or eloquent as Chris I will try and give all of you unable to be here...

The Buffalo....its in beautiful shape....well maintained....well see how she looks after 11 days...
