Special thanks to those who shared their insider's perspective. It's a different world when viewed through those eyes.TdLpps posted: <snipped> I really, really appreciate the insight of the past participants. It adds a level understanding that you can't get from riding your own 50CCs and BBGs. Great site and members. Thanks for letting me tag along.
I think a friend of mine went out and picked him up, looks like his SPOT is moving nowThe guy I was rooting for was Jerome Byrd on hIs NT700V. He was at Santa Rosa, NM, 120 miles from the finish an hour and 45 minutes before the DNF time. Still there. Don't know what happened, but it's got to be heartbreaking for him.

The LD Rider List Reports indicate that Jerome bought a car battery at a Walmart Superstore in Amarillo, wired it with electrical tape and "tons" of duct tape to his bike and took off. He was making progress until he reached Santa Rosa with the car battery dead as well...I think a friend of mine went out and picked him up, looks like his SPOT is moving nowThe guy I was rooting for was Jerome Byrd on hIs NT700V.

Once Again the folks who put this rally together did an outstanding job and gave us "armchair pilots" a lot more info than (release of all bonuses) we got in previous years. Kudos to you folks!Congrats to all riders who finished the Big Dance. Thanks to Warchild for letting a bunch of lurkers play in the forum. and that to all who contributed to this thread
Now that the dance is done, how am I going to occupy my time?
Just so I know.... What's the difference? I saw both bikes at the start and they intrigued me.Jerome Boyd, the guy with the electrical issues is riding an NT700V. The NC belongs to Hammy Tan.
Ouch. In 20-20 hindsight, shoulda bought 2 batteries. He made it farther than I would have thought with a store bought not fully charged battery.The LD Rider List Reports indicate that Jerome bought a car battery at a Walmart Superstore in Amarillo, wired it with electrical tape and "tons" of duct tape to his bike and took off.

What a shame to be that close and not finish because of an electrical issue! I was rooting for everyone to finish and to finish safely, but I was rooting especially for Jerome Byrd and for Hammy Tan.
