I can conclude that this is going to be a very close ending. Check and recheck just to make sure. Then check again. you are right, no pressure.

I am hearing my main Japanese dude Ishii, riding his Burgmann scooter, has finisher points!

Congratulations to Jim Owen and to all the finishers. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching along with all of you on this crazy ride. I look forward to hearing more stories.

Congrats to all of the riders! I marvel at their ability to do what they do. Thanks to all of the "insiders" and all of the other commentators on this forum. I appreciate your letting folks like me hang around for these 11 days every 2 years--makes me feel like I'm part of something great even when I'm sitting at my desk at work!

I gave my thanks before and was waiting to give my congratulation to Jim Owens and all the other riders. Outstanding job by all my hat goes off to you.

Wow, Jim. Fantastic ride, done by a super guy. The IBA and IBR are well represented by that multi-time winner.

I had the honor of having lunch with Jim at the IBA Meet in Denver in 2012. I thoroughly enjoyed picking his brain and wish I had recorded the conversation.

 

[Go Far]

Excellent Jim!

That was fun watching. Congrats to all the riders.

I am glad to see a Gen3.5 made it into the top 10

It indeed appears as if Mr Ken Aman has thrown a wrench in RenoJohn's predictions:

Question for the rally riders out there:

Is there a quick/efficient way to suck in the bonus point information from the .pdf and convert it into a table/excel spreadsheet so it can be sorted by points? Or do the riders receive it as a .doc file so they can manipulate it?

Enjoy.

The view that is sorted by model appears to be incorrect, at least for the medal column. Not all the FJRs won gold, for example.

My wife had a Burgman 400 and now rides a Burgman 650. To see someone finish a rally like this on a 400 is awesome. And riding those kind of miles on a 250cc sport bike while wearing a backpack is amazing.

The finish photo gallery has been updated with banquet and pre-gaming.

Six previous Iron Butt Winners! Before you correct my count look closely at what is in Derek's hand, a little bit of Peter Behm.
