but it might get the post count moving on this old thread - never hurts to get a free BTTT

Interesting that a rider could have multiple SPOTs running - I can understand how you might want to have a backup, but are you saying that there are 3 different SPOTs being transmitted on the group SPOT page? That could really open up some interesting alternative uses....

But 5 hours on a ferry could be a good rest while still maintaining movement toward the finish line, yes? Of course I know nothing of such matters, but its fun to join in the speculation :)

Four showing up now - Like you said Iggy, just give it a few minutes. Glad to see they're all still in the hunt!

Three just popped up on Spotwalla in North Sydney! But there's still one reporting in Newfie - must have missed the ride? If so that would be a real blow.

He is definitely amazing! Is this his 3rd IBR on the Ninjette? Really have to give kudos to someone who gets off the barcalounger rides and puts in those kind of hours and miles on a little sewing machine. Surely a testament to mental toughness and will..... two items I am obviously lacking!

That is my intention - the whole DakAL including camping the whole way if I can find someone with the same interest. I could probably be persuaded to spend a night or two in motels along the way for intermittent clean up, but I'd rather spend the nights under the stars as much as possible.

There's all kind of wrong going on in that video.....

I like this one! 918 miles all the way around including Highway 12 to Capitol Reef - highly recommended!

I think its just luck - back in '12 Brodie and I covered most of Utah including south towards the Grand Staircase Escalante on Highway 12 and though it was warm, it was totally tolerable and probably the best road I've ever ridden. I'd recommend that after crossing the blast furnace of Nevada...

I, due to lack of popular demand, am back in! A late scheduled business trip to Singapore has been canceled so I can now make it. I'll be showing up Thursday evening - happen to have some old friends who live in nearby Boot Jack so accommodations are handled. I didn't end up buying into...

Thanks for the touching tribute Brodie. I only came across Brian once that I remember during Wheatie's trip back in '11 I think at some inn in Bodega Bay - now that I think about it that's where I met Don Stanley as well. I heard the first rumors of the (in)famous tire debate at dinner that...

I am bummed to report that I will not be able to attend There may be others that don't share that emotion at hearing the news but unfortunately I've been told I need to be in the balmy climate of Singapore on Thursday and Friday, and with 20+ hour flight time to return I won't be back on...

As long as it meets emissions standards you're OK....

Nicely done Doug! I think it needs a shakedown run at Thunderhill

Which oil and filter are you buying Zilla? I'm sure some people here have some suggestions...

Very cool, but unfortunately that's not my retro passion. Now if you know anybody with a clean 81-83 GPz550 they want to get rid of I might give you a finders' fee! GLWS

My experience with the Japanese suppliers is that the last two digits are a rev number, while the first 8 (nnn-xxxxx) are the relevant part number. With Kawi it turns out that one of the oil filter rev numbers indicated when they moved manufacturing from Japan to China. I'd guess (with your...

Congrats on taking the plunge! I'm gonna plug FJRays Reuben Run here in September - would be a good way to meet several of the reprobates that frequent this place :)

I will be for sure interested in hearing about your experience this year. Will either give me more incentive to be ready to go, or convince me that I should find rides closer to home!
