I figure if the poo-bahs running the show wanted the names made public, they could have put the names on the spot instead of codes... that alone is good enough for me.So are there other reasons ?

+1 to thatYay, I have a severe fascination with maps, so the spotwalla page is like crack for me in that I'm watching motorcyclists run around on it. So glad it could remain up and running. Thanks!
**BREAKING NEWS**
Hot off the press....Rider #666 is WAY DOWN SOUTH!!!
Stay tuned for updates as we receive them.
We know that capitals are on the list. We know, roughly, where they are and someone could figure out where they'll be. They don't have to be riding to be caught.If it was my wife or daughter and there safety was a great concern maybe I would have went along or convinced them it might not be the best idea to do this . From a saftey perspective is that really the first concern for any rider be it female or male ,at the speeds and pace most of these competitors are running is the chance of a bad dude catching them really the true concern ? I would think sleep deprivation and elevated speeds for extended periods of time would be a much larger saftey concern . So are there other reasons ?
I agree completely. The rules are the rules. If someone doesn't like the rules they need to put on their own rally with their own rules.I figure if the poo-bahs running the show wanted the names made public, they could have put the names on the spot instead of codes... that alone is good enough for me.So are there other reasons ?
+1 on that. Where is the bandwagon I can jump on?And which forum should I sign up for to join in the smack-down of the f'idiot that posted that list?
John Young - Triumph Trident, reminds me of Steve Atwood shipping over his "Guzzi" in 93. I don't think John will have quite as good as finish as Steve did though,(Steve won it) that was a whole different century. Ken Hattan was about the only one using electronics even remotely close to what would be considered BARE minimum today. Just my $.02 worth.Furriner status:
So how are our foreigners doing? They are not too shabby:
- John Young is still moving in Missouri... yea! :yahoo:
- Gerhard Martin-Krueger is among the group fast closing in on St Louis.
- Jennyfer & Jack (Canadian 'J'-Team) is a hour or so ahead of Gerhard.
- Frazer Phil is also streaming to St Louis.
- I don't have a lead on the Aussie couple quite yet... Tom Austin should have that info in today's Daily Report.
I don't know the exact number but IIRC it's about 13,354 by Mark Kieker a forth place finish in '05.Anyone know what the highest number of miles ridden in a IBR has been? I am just wondering how much it will be smashed by at the end of this rally.
Uhm, isn't that the 'Eh'-team? At least that is how she sighned some of her emails and I thought I saw such a stiicker on her winscreen too.
