I'm going to see the riders come into Allen, TX on Thursday and Saturday evenings, planning to meet Ken (Kendoo) there.

That SS1k is really tempting... anyone from the North TX/Dallas area want to give it a go?

Just a reminder that there's more than just Daily Reports on the IBR Site. There's pics, start photos and a start video . . . all riders out of the parking lot in 6 min 15 sec! That's organization. The Safari is underway!

Good luck, Ken. My best wishes for a safe ride for all of them!

Shuey

IBR website is taking a beating due to heavier traffic - anyone have the direct link to the Spotwalla page?

Thx!

Appears I missed a chance to greet a few that have come through Indy to visit the dinos outside our Children's Museum...will have to keep an eye on that since I live an entire 3/4 of a mile from them.

Spotwalla is having some issues which may have been resolved. This was posted on the Spotwalla Facebook page......."All... I think we've at least temporarily "fixed" the issue. I'll be monitoring the quotas in the Google Console. If it gets close again, I'll close the page until tomorrow after the quotas are reset. This will be done to allow the rider's family members and the IBR staff to still track the riders.One thing y'all can do to help... The location viewer will automatically refresh once every 5 minutes. There's a green button at the top of the page with a countdown timer on it. If you want to refresh the page before it refreshes automatically, click that button.
If you refresh using the browser button, that refresh counts against the daily quota.
Thanks."

Will withhold ID and photo until after the rally but was able to meet one of the competitors over my lunch hour at the bonus here in Indy. In/out efficiently and was in good spirits!

Hey Gang,
The ST was well represented at the IBR, both in bikes riding the rally, and supporters riding in to cheer the riders on their way.
It was Fing funny when Crane dropped his bike and almost domino-ed the line of bikes. Needless to say the FJR owner next to him was a little rattled.
This was my first time working tech at an IBR event and I have to say overall it went smooth. A testament to the care the riders pay to their steeds.
The GL of Dylan's was a work of art!
As the clock closed in on 10:00 on Monday, I was surprised how anxious I was getting!!!!! With such a great selection of bonuses and a Jeff Earls twist, it will be anyone's game.
It looks like a couple folks are putting in MONSTER RIDES!!!!! Will the heat take it's toll? Are they getting the rest they need? Will they use up their equipment early?
I can't wait to see the scores after the first checkpoint!
All the best,
Rich

WHERE IS TODAYS REPORT? ITS LATE?? (stomping my feet, pouting like a baby)!!! lol.

I attended the start as well. Saw you Rich but felt you were too busy. I was standing on the hill when I heard the crunch sound of Crane's bike tipping into the FJR then hitting the pavement. Felt a little sheepish taking a pic...I was happy no one was around when I dropped my bike.

It was fun to be at the start. Maybe I'll ride down for the finish.

Some great pics from Stranger Rick "Coastrider" Corwin.

Tom, you should always say hi!

There was a special gift given out at the banquet.....and many riders are taking our friend Pete for a ride on this rally.

Hope to see a few folks at the finish, there you will see a few more dropped bikes as sometimes riders forget to put the feet down.....

Don't ask me how I know that See you on the 7th!!!

At least they got the Spotwalla glitch taken care of... small fixes are better than complete communications blackouts. :?

Any of the ST in the rally members here? only guy I recognized was Ken Aman aka Kendoo

jodog, Bowman Bob V MO 2007 Honda ST1300
Garry in AZ, Springgay Garry V AZ 2005 Honda ST1300
Gatensby Maura V BC 2008 Honda ST1300

I know Bob and Garry post here and are riding there ST1300's in the rally. Not sure of the others.

Edit,
Maura is a past IBA rally rider (2 time?), she appears to just read here more than post now days.

I was looking at the spot trackers and it seems like one of them is at a Suzuki dealer just outside Memphis at the moment its #185 and it shows his name as Hutsal. Hope his bike is OK

aahhh The posted Tuesday report sucks!!!! very non-informative!

Unless there were DNFs or a call-in bonus this early, there's not a whole lot going on yet to report on. I'm guessing the staff keeps that stuff down to a minimum while they're traveling between checkpoints.

--Mark

Hutsal has been in Memphis at a Suzuki/BMW dealer since 903 this morning his time is running out.
