I hate to be an internet bully and publicly one-up someone. But, I MISS YOU MORE

Me thinks that rider is going (back?) to Homer to catch a boat home. Ideally cruise ship with open bar. NFW she gets to Greenville via bike in remaining time. Tough, anyone up there swung for the fence and they've got to be exhausted. Kudos to their bravado.

On the streets of Reno, Eric Buskell (COEB) started out at the rally at 7/1 odds and the money continues to flow his way, currently down to 5/1 odds and many think it will fall even further. https://renojohn.com/bike/iba2019 (corrected typo) The COEB is making the bookmakers nervous. He's a...

Wow. Phuck this getting old stuff sucks Don, but it does beat the alternative. At this hour my knees are good, but as you know it can change fast. When my time comes, I'll be taking your advice, I hope to avoid some of the cost and wondering if I can have first dibs on buying your old...

I had a very-bummer radiator failure due to road-shrapnel putting a hole in my 2nd Fastest Generation FJR ...it is very likely that a radiator guard would have avoided the issue. Happened during a Cognoscente event, I was on the clock and having a great rally up until that point. I've since...

This is a good base plan that has nice options that you could fine-tune into a GREAT scenic trip. You won't have a lot of dilly-dally time so you might as well get on good roads. It also depends on when you're leaving Crater Lake, and where you're spending the night before. If you're getting...

BMW, FJR Gen1, FJR Gen2, BMW, BMW There are no Gen3 pilots in this picture. (no surprise)

Mr. Frick. Been watching these two closely, and it looks like they're going to keep me up all night. I've been running a lot of numbers, they're not sniffin' many flowers. They're also very close to each other. With the devices not pinging at the same time and a delay it gives some really...

Hey Mr. Frick, vacationing in San Francisco with RG and RK. So not much time. ++BUT++ I have put together some biker flix for you https://renojohn.com/bike/iba2017/ I'm also putting together some analysis/stats on yet another competitive event where the gen3 is getting smoked by the riders who...

Interesting, but no bonus collecting while riding in a boat. At this stage I think riders want wheels in motion gathering points.

At the end of Leg2, a Honda was beating *all* Gen3 riders ..yet that Honda was trailing multiple earlier gen FJRs And a Harley sportster was leading multiple gen3 FJR's while trailing just two. The Gen3 performance (lack of) continues. Bike has been out 5 years now, when the earlier...

If you're one of the island five, you have a reasonably good grasp of what the other island riders have in comparison to your own points. So not only are they all living in each other's heads, but they're also making assessments on what to go for to move up notches against the others, vs...

No doubt. There are countless potential reasons, weight being one of them, every ferry vessel has weight restrictions. However, I find it unlikely that any of these amazing island riders would be foolish enough to choose a gen3, a bike with consistently pathetic rally performance, especially...

His spot may still be firing from the bowels of the ferry, or maybe for some other reason hasn't connected to sattelite since the journey. Or, like you say, maybe still on the island.

Looks correct to me, less rest bonus, which riders may or may not take. I threw in 8 hours rest bonus in my math = 36'ish hours.

in extremely rough numbers looks like in the neighborhood of 36hours to do the base route of 2150'ish miles. i've padded a couple things but don't know what the border crossing might entail. They'll have time for bonus collection, but how far off the base route will they go? how many miles...
