At "checkpoint" 2: https://tobie.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/IBR-2019-checkpoint-2/i-dtPcJbW/A

Does anyone know when checkin starts for checkpoint 1? The poor dude in Wyola, MT (#160) looks to be still 800 miles away from Kennewick, WA at the moment. Spotwalla Link Found it, it was in the Day -1 report: It opens at 8 PM tonight, less than 4 hours from now, and closes at 10 less...

I can just imagine what's going on inside their helmets at the moment! Those are small, crowded, heavily traffic-lighted roads all the way down to Kitty Hawk and beyond. On Day 1 they certainly have a plan in mind, but may already be stressing about making less progress than they expected...

One of the pics at the finish this morning. Many, many pics right up here.

Whodat in at the finish:

Looks like he's still smiling. :thumbup (at checkpoint 1) All photos up here.

The 2017 IBR kicks off on Monday. I'm a little disappointed, as I had an entry for this one as well, but still working through some back issues, and never would have been able to power through. But - there are quite a few friends in the event, including some from the bay area with accounts...

I can ask if she has a pic of hers. But it's not rare. Here's a 250 with 120/60 front (link) Here's a link of a guy who put 120/60 front in the Diablo Rosso IIs, but didn't like the stability with that setup. Here's a link of a guy who used 120/60 in front with a Pilot Power. This...

A number of folks on this site may have known Cary over the years. Many friends bought bikes and service through him first at Marin BMW, and in its newer incarnation MotoMarin, until it shut down a few years back. He had moved from the bay area, but was still a memorable fixture across many of...
