Chris, welcome aboard. Congrats on the 3 digit number and the finish. Another bright side is that you avoided mention in the daily reports until the very end! Perhaps the next bike will have ABS?

It was great to meet you in Kennesaw. I didn't want to ask why your jacket had holes in the sleeves!
In case you didn't go back thru this entire thread, here's the short clip I took of you departing the lot.
Congratulations on the finish!
Home in West Palm Beach as of Wednesday. Bike is fine just waiting for me to come ride it home. (From Monroe, LA)
….. What a great rally !!! Can't wipe the smile from my face…

It was great to see you at the finish Tony. Maybe not quite the rally you had in mind at the beginning, but real glad you had fun doing it.
And now you have finished 2 IBRs. Dang bud, that's pretty cool.

+1. This completely changed my game plan and saved my Sturgis trip a few years ago. A must read for anyone new to LD riding.
Ha... Ha...
How do you think the riders feel? For 11 days we got to ride around from one great location to another via wonderful roads- and now most of us are back at work earning wages to pay for our fun. Was it worth it? ....
Oh yes :.) !

"Trench Foot"
I almost had to withdrawn during the first leg in 2007, my calluses and skin on my left foot where coming off because my boots never dried, very painful to walk, luckily the last night of Leg 1 I was able to get my foot dry and my boot aired out on the a/c. I learned later that newspaper makes for a good material to stuff in your boots while off. I had did the IBA hotel the night before and never removed my boots, bad move. So when I got back to St. Louis for the checkpoint my feet were not an issue, I always removed my boots at rest stops after that.

This rally motivated me.
Last weekend I completed my first saddlesore & bun burner.

The '09 IBR was my injection of obsession. I had just purchased my '05 with 8k on the OD. (She now sits with over 240k)
You have been warned!
Not an FJR rider but the beginnings of a nice little IBR ride report nonetheless.
