Peloquin IBR Audio Blog

[BIODSL]

Hey Paul, your blog https://paulpeloquin.blogspot.com/2007/08/a...oblog_3758.html you talk about the ME880's. I replayed it over and over.. hard to understand.. what were you trying to say about the tires performance?

I was generally pretty pleased with the performance of the Metzler M880 radials. They went the full rally distance, got me home, and still probably have a thousand or two miles in them. I should note, though, that I was not in full sport mode during the rally and can't attest to their performance for sport riding. What I was saying in the blog was that the rear did have a tendancy to slip on some paint of some fog lines. It happened about four or five times during the rally. Perhaps this is not the fault of the tire; most riders try to keep the bike IN BETWEEN the lines on the road ; )

Congrats Paul, Matt, and all the other 2007 IBR riders. Between Matt's text blog and Paul's voicemail blog I was able to get a glimpse at just how difficult the IBR is and at what an amazing accomplishment it is to finish!

Paul.

I haven't had a chance to isten to the 2nd leg of your blog, but I gotta say this audio blog thing is the ******* COOLEST thing going, and I thank you for pioneering it.

I'm also proud as punch to know you and I'm very proud of you for executing such a great ride!

See you soon in NV.

Ditto on what GZ said. Paul's' blogging was the closest you could be to the rally without actually riding it. By the time I met Paul I felt I already knew him. Congrats and thanks for taking the time to keep us all updated from the road.
