Well my riding has been limited (With the exception of September) this year, but I hope to close it out on a high note.

Hope to see many of you there!

I'm on the "maybe get the day off" list at work and I have my fingers crossed.

Thinking about riding in for the Stagecoach. Any one from the Baton Rouge area headed that way?
I know this sounds strange, but there is a good chance that I will be coming in from Houston.
That of course would take me right through Baton Rouge.

In .... if it isn't raining. I don't like cold rain.

I may be coming in from the west s well. I do plan to attend.

I would love to, but it would be so weather dependent. I would have to have a wide window of weather suitable for riding(no ice) in my home area. I do ride year round as long as the roads are dry. Temperature doesn't matter.

As usual, if the roads out of illinois are clear, I`ll be there.
Hope to see you there again Mr. IBRX2!

I'm off that day, so I can't think of a better way to spend it. Will be watching weather reports and seeing who else from here can go.
I will be there rain or shine on my way home from Dallas. Weather may determine how long I stay though.
It has been an extremely bad December for me. Many work hours, loss of a family member and now I had to say goodbye to my second (And last) beloved dog "Rusty".
I had made up my mind to do the IBR in June, but now all things will be reconsidered. Hopefully the road will give me some answers…

Sorry about your troubles. Weather looks miserable for the next few days, but may be clearing for the 30th.

Weather should be ideal: Mobile looks sunny with highs in the 60's!?!?! Love the Southland, y'all!
I'll be looking for you, 101stpathfinder and Chuck35. Me? Grey hair & mustache, glasses, those won't set me out from the crowd, but I'll be wearing an FJR FORUM long sleeve t-shirt.

Uncle, you just described me also but without the glasses ( just for reading and perusing the forum mind you). Bike is prepped and I'm pulling out about 7 am. Hope to be eating at Stagecoach before 11.

And if you had not been so stubborn you could be doing this ride on my brand new Laam Custom seat.
Do say hi to any FJR peeps you might meet for me, I will be still working 12 hour nights while you go riding around having fun. I wish I were doing this one but there is only so much time...
At least I got my '15 back and it is almost good as new. Rode it to work tonight.
I got back from my ride this morning around 6 am. Boots gave out and I had wet/cold feet the whole ride.
Thought I blew a head gasket on the way to Dallas. It turned out to be a
much easier fix. Special thanks to Jason for putting me up and helping to get the bike back on the road. My friend Jeff and his fiancé had the hot tub fired up for my arrival in Downsville, LA!
Bike sits at 213k. Boots in the trash, IBR back on review… One observation on the ride: Cold weather LD riding requires a strong determination without electrics.
Oh yah… I missed Stagecoach on the way home.

It was good to meet Uncle Hud at the lunch table. The FJR Forum shirt was a good tip off! We got back to Knoxville around 11:00 pm, but a couple of us needed another 50 miles to make the 1000, so we made another little round trip and finished it. Thanks to TN Charlie and a couple of others for chaperoning us newbies. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t54yq58ir6d3lab/Stagecoach%202014-12-30a.jpg?dl=0
