I've been working on projects all day and about 11:00 pm I sat down to check the IBR progress. I found two riders in Clarksville less than 30 mins south of me! I didn't expect anyone to get that close since the nearest spot is Ft Donnelson at Dover, TN, which didn't seem like it would bring anyone close.
It looked like at least one rider was at a hotel for the night, but the other was at a McDonalds. Probably a little silly, but I wanted to try to see one of the bikes. I made a couple quick notes of encouragement that I could put on their bikes just in case I found them.
I found the first pretty easily but the second rider probably turned his spot off at McD's so he wasn't tracked to the hotel.
I was wondering how I would know for sure that it was the IBR rider if I saw an LD bike, but the massive cockpit and gadgets on the Harley were a sure sign. The IBA plate didn't hurt either.
I'm guessing it's the Blue Beast of Drew Dill, see https://www.ironbuttrally.com/IBR/2015/Day2.pdfPretty bike.

I've got a 550 I'd be willing to FedEx. I'm in Washington State.Just got a message from Tony, 101stPathfinder. He's asking if anyone has a 550 or 590 in TN. That's ALL the message said. I'm thinking he's looking for a GPS because I know his was giving him trouble and he was depending on a borrowed one.
So anyone in TN have a GPS Tony can use??
David Walls is a friend of mine, who has finished my Team Lyle Alamo rides twice, once for a BBG on his Harley and this year for a BBG1800+ on his Hayabusa.Hey guys! Long time lurker/visitor - ever since I found out this was the place to be during the IBR.I'm a regular over on the ST Owners forum as I ride a '96 ST1100.
Thanks as always for letting us suck the bandwidth during the IBR every other year and for being part of such a cool community of fellow LD riders. If Honda doesn't get their act together with an update in the ST column I'll be spending a lot more time over here!
Finally took the plunge and created an account since I ended up making the Day 7 report and thought I'd fess up to being the civilian that rode a mile or two with David Walls ('04 FJR) today here in Indy. My side of the story over here:

This connection was a bit tougher to make than a few years ago when I just walked a few blocks from my office to our state capitol building and said a quick hello to a few riders.
