skyking44 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Two years ago we were able to follow the Iron Butt riders, on our computers, as they rode the rally. I have not been able to find the site for this years rally which started today. Does anyone know where it is? thanks. Link to comment

skyking44 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have the link to the IBA site but it does not have a link to the web site where one can see the actual track and current location of riders who have equipped their bikes with the tracking device. Link to comment

George Brown Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 My vote is for George Barnes to win hands down He's my favorite. Fasterpill and I met George while waiting to sign up for a test ride at the '01 BMWMOA Rally. Spent about 75 minutes talking to him while we waited. Great Guy! Link to comment

George Brown Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Got this from bmwbmw folks... Iron Butt Riders Neat site. Is there a key for the 12 riders who have the tracking devices? Link to comment

Rocket_Cowboy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 My vote is for George Barnes to win hands down Having ridden (and lost) a couple rallies to Jim Owen this year, my money's on him to pull this one off this time. His new R12RT isn't going to let him down like the 1150 did last year. Link to comment
Alan D Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Does anyone know who the 12 riders are? Link to comment
DavidEBSmith Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 There is a special login for friends & family to see where their own rider is, but that won't be (shouldn't be) made public, for many reasons. (For one, if I were a competitive rider in the Rally, I wouldn't want my competitors to know where I'd been and where I was going and how fast). Link to comment

UberXY Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think I enjoyed Bob Higdon's reporting better than the current author's. Link to comment
Bud Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Steve, I feel the same way. However, when you follow the master, it's hard not to be compared as somehow lacking. The rally format this year is also different which makes it more difficult to report. I hope he keeps doing it for a few more years so we have a body of work to judge, not just his rookie attempts.

Bud Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Wow, some of those guys are really going to have to boogey to get back to S. Louis tomorrow evening by 9 PM when the window closes. Might saunter on over tomorrow and see the show. Rob started first. Let's see how he stands at the end of leg one. Link to comment
Yeeha! Stephen Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Steve, I feel the same way. However, when you follow the master, it's hard not to be compared as somehow lacking. The rally format this year is also different which makes it more difficult to report. I hope he keeps doing it for a few more years so we have a body of work to judge, not just his rookie attempts. Regards, The little trick of giving the riders a Bonus for calling in a report, seems to have worked. Tonights report has the tidbits that are making for interesting reading. "Sideswiped a Moose"!
