It is a lot easier as we sit here and look at this and have all the time in the world, and a computer to work with. But that is just my opinion.Could fatigue be clouding # 130's judgement or am I missing something here.

The latter.... this rider just slept many hours near Harrisburg... and is surely well-rested.Could fatigue be clouding # 130's judgement or am I missing something here.
Though I don't know, I seriously doubt those capitals are in play on leg 1. And my guess is he is only picking up some unnecessary states simply because he has nothing else better to do. (See my previous post)Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and 130's current route will probably put him on the wrong side of the Chesapeake for Annapolis but the correct side to head for Dover, DE. Of course he is right along the Mason-Dixon line which is where he wants to be if he/she is just be trying to pick up the two states and is not after the state capitals.

As others have alluded to, I suspect #130 has an particular agenda that we all are simply not privy to yet.
This rider is a fairly seasoned vet, so it'll be interesting to watch what happens here... B)
130 might have enough time to pickup the following states and still make Checkpoint #1SkooterG Posted 23 June 2011 - 09:49 PMMy guess is he simply bought off more than he can chew. Most likely planned a highly aggressive route going to Madagascar, or Mogadishu, or whatever it is in Maine before the Buffalo checkpoint, then hit the fatigue wall and realzied he couldn't do it. Now as a result, has all the time in the world to get to the checkpoint. If that is the case, it is going to be a long 24 hours for the poor ******* as he rides around aimlessly before the checkpoint punching holes in the landscape pondering just how badly he has screwed the pooch. Believe me, I have been there before and it is NOT fun.

Aftermarket crap tends to make ANY bike unreliable.Apparently, the electrical problem had to due with an aftermarket voltage regulator that Darrin had installed earlier this year. They will bolt up a stock R/R, and Darrin should be back on the road shortly.Looks like the Harley ridden by Darrin Hicks just **** the bed....
He is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with some kind of electrical problem, waiting for the local dealer to pick him up....
Yes, though I believe it is a 10 *point* deduction, not 10%.I thought they can still get the state capitols, but at 10% lower point value?

Dover, Trenton, Albany, Cheektowaga maybe?
I don't get it. If those capitals aren't in play, there is no use going to those states especially if they are expecting to pick them up when they are in play during Leg 2. 130 seems to be going for the capital bonus points judging by how they were snatching up the high-point capitals, so I doubt they'd pick up states now when they can later during bonus hunting. I don't know which capitals are in play right now, but it doesn't seem like the New Englsnd state capitals would be since it makes more sense (to me at least) that they'd be during Leg 2.130 is on the NJ Turnpike heading North. It looks like my guess that he might be going to pickup New England before arriving at Checkpoint # 1 was a good one.
You and me both Don... :blink:Hell, I'm fragged out just reading this thread. :huh:
