Speculating - I'd guess he's looking for a battery.

At this point, I doubt he's concerned about penalty points. He needs to hustle to get here before the window closes. Alb traffic is going to be tough and he's a little better than 3 hours out.

Looks like Jerome got rolling again!

The only way this happened when he was sitting still was for him to have basically dropped the clutch. This IS NOT a final drive failure. It's a failure of the rear U-Joint. The rust colored dust indicates the drive shaft splines were dry and probably stopped sliding back and forth. That...

I was thinking it might be the IB Memorial but rider 155 high tailed it back to Gerlach too fast for taht to be right. Miss Kitty may be right. I recall there's a sign going onto the playa but don't remember where that was. Might catch someone stopping adn we can zoom in on it to see...

Eh yep - that would be Colin...... He's fun to visit with.....

True. But now many of us are straining to get that image out of our heads. Personally, I slipped my brain out of my left ear - soaked it in lye for 20 minutes - jammed it back in the left ear hoping for relief. Even that failed. Then of all mysteries, damned if it didn't resurface in that...

Traffic is moving exactly as I said. The upper lot is full and they're now walking over from the lower lot. If our riders aren't on the way down now - time is going to be a lot shorter when they hit the bottom again. Got my fingers crossed that everyone makes it in good time.

Nah, that's not live. I jsut snagged that off the google shot. There are semi-live [three minute intervals] posted in an earlier thread.POST, not thread.

Being a C. Springs resident for some years, I can tell you that if they're not on the on the road by now, they're going to see some lookie-loo and motorhome traffic that is most certainly going to slow them getting up - AND down. There's enough car traffic at the top now to start making it...

Wow. Someone's already up there. Anyone know who this belongs to?

Well, it fits the theme. Pikes Peak Hill Climb is a big race every year. My BMW club does a ride to the peak every year. It's a 19 miles run up that is indeed a slow run unless you're at the gate at 0730 when the road opens - motorcycles can move to the front of the line at the opening. It...

Typically, leg one doesn't tell much of a story. There are a number of exceptional riders this year, that either don't really have their heads in the game or were laying back for the second and third legs. There are several riders I'm anxious to visit with at the finish.

Absolutely correct. My mistake in looking at the list. Old age, poor eyesight and one step away from needing a cane is my excuse...

What are the times for the finish on Friday so I know when to be there ??? FINISH INFORMATION Finish Friday, July 12, 10 am Penalty points accrue at 8:00:01am Scoring opens at 5am Pittsburgh Marriott North at Cranberry Woods 100 Cranberry Woods Drive Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania 16066 USA

Oh dear. You're going to be insufferable to deal with when the announce her podium finish aren't you Mike. We're supposed to get together for drinks after she gets settled in. Are you going to be calmed down by then....? She's kicking some awesome points down...

That's true. That rider is Rex LeGalley. Had he not blown the bonus at Henry Ford -1666 points, he'd be sitting in 20th place. He's one to watch. This particular IBR is heavily sprinkled with our best riders, regardless of their steeds. Frankly, though I'm a BMW kinda guy, nothing would...

Saw that. So let me get this right. First out the gate after pussin out on his haircut, then screws the pooch making a phone call. I have great expectations of how you're going to handle this at the finish Dale. And I'll be there with a smile - watching with a camera.....

Congratulations to the riders and the awesome representation of the FJR we're seeing. However::: YET! Still a long haul to the finish. Everyone is well in it for a podium.

Flint, MI to Cranbury Township = 5 hours and 20 minutes with clear traffic. Unless what we see is incorrect - that rider is unable to prevent a DNF at this point.
