No fanfare

Hard riding

New boots!

Looks like the northern loop on the third leg may have been a strategic error.

 

[DNA]

FJR's take 5 of top 6.

Congrats to all - see you all again in 2 years.

I am correct in stating if Matt hadn't missed the phone call we would have 4 FJR's on top?

Congradulations to all and thanks for all the fun and exitement here on the forum for the last two weeks. It would be interesting to see what kind of mileage these FJR's have on the clock. 2005's Rock I guess.

Any word on Tony (Pathfinder)?

Congrats to Derek, what a ride. Awesome to see the FJR kick BMW arse!

A shout out to Kevin Sawatsky on his 03 Darkside FJR in 42nd at 10,074 miles. I had a visit with him at checkpoint 2 , good guy!

For future reference.

"If you want a podium finish in the IBR. Start with an FJR".

 

[yamafitter]

Tony (Pathfinder101st) ended up with 20th. Very respectable.

An old saying around the golf course is "it's not the fiddle that makes the music".

Any word on Tony (Pathfinder)?
