The 2005 Ironbutt Rally started on Monday, Aug 22nd.
This is the infamous 11 day, 11,000 mile motorcycle rally. As much as I think it would be fun to attempt this event, I know I don’t have the stamina nor the funds to do so.
So I armchair participate by reading Bob Higdon’s reports.
This year there is a new feature. Thirteen of the riders are using the Star-Traxx satelite tracking system on their bikes and you can see where all thirteen of them are and where they have been by following this link. It’s pretty cool. Right now, six are in the West Coast area, two are in New Brunswick, Canada and four are in Florida (one is currently heading back from Key West.)
I believe that one of the thirteen was a Did Not Start.
