Anyone have the scoop on the IBR? I know it ends in the next day or so, just wondering if anyone heard anything?

Here is day 9's report

http://www.ironbuttrally.com/IBR/2009/2009IBRday9.pdf

There were 2 RE-5 rotary's in this one...the first one crapped day one...the second was Slonishku and he made it till last thursday and constant rain killed his CDI in Dubuque, IA

He bought a '85 Goldwing and pressed on to cali where the stator dropped out...now he's on a loaned 1995 BMW R1100GS to stay in the "hopeless class"
