Title: who wins the Iron Butt 2011????
Post by: MAN OF BLUES on July 01, 2011, 09:52:26 AM

I'm watching Roger Sinclair right now, his spot is 30 minutes from the end checkpoint....he has till 10 west coast time to arrive....
I have been keeping him going every night in the weeeeee hours, with cross country conversation, to keep him awake and sharp when he starts to drift....
I think he is set to be a winner right now, and I'm really proud of him!!!
He has collected the 4800 points for Alaska, he'll get the 4800 points for getting in all the states, and he'll get huge bonus points for all the capitols he grabbed on this last leg....
I'll let you know who won in a couple hours!!!

in case you don't reCOGnize him, he placed 7th in the 2009 riding a C14....
(he's riding his GS12 this time though...)
good luck Roger!!!!!

I just read the results.  There was one old connie, who finished 35th.  No new ones.  But about a thousand fjr's.  What is so much better about the fjr than the new connie?  I mean, we're pretty biased but wow there were a lot of them and I thought they were about the same as the C14.

FJR riding position is more upright.
Also, there are lots of accessories for FJR's for LD lunatics.

C14 is a SPORTS tourer.

C14 is a 'Super' SPORTS tourer.

Fixed it for you...
