It is here after a year’s postponement due to Covid. IBA hasn’t put up the links to the rally yet.
Start and Finish location is Provo, UT.

I'm driving in on Sunday and can bring tires or any other parts I may have in stock at the shop. I should be at checkpoint #2 around 4-5 PM.No Canada bonuses this year due to Covid restrictions at the border. I'm going to checkpoint #2 to help riders and bring some items for riders that I know. And no, I won't say where that is unless and until the IBA makes it public.
I could bring along the necessary tools and "help" someone swap a tire. The tire inventories at the distributor level are getting very low. Anyone needing a tire at the checkpoint should make their plans well in advance.Will you have the ability to do tire changes? I know at least one rider that has not finalized his tire change plans, but likely needs a tire swapped at Checkpoint #2. I'm debating bringing my bead breaker and spoons, but not excited about doing so.
Looks like there's three: 2 - Gen2 and 1 - Gen1I’m curious to see how many SuperTen’s riding this year.
I know at least two of them, Dan and Bucky, but I don't know if they come here or not.Looks like there's three: 2 - Gen2 and 1 - Gen1
Any of them members here?
I've been in communication with the HD PA rider. He only knew for sure he was in about a month and a half ago. Talk about scrambling to prep. He bought and mounted a Moto jug yesterday at the start. He already had a system set up, but strapped to the bike since he has no mounts or time. His racks were waiting at the hotel when he got there. Mosko Moto soft bags over those. He's pretty determined to finish and I think he has a shot. I know the KTM 300 EXC 6 Day 2-stroke rider and he's already a multiple IBR finisher, but I still think he's nuts and will be riding some other bike at the finish. That bike has a 37.7" seat height, before he put the RDL on it. He had it on the trailer ready to go home when a local that also has one convinced him to come to his house so they could lower it. Word is he looked happy with it doing the odo check. 2-strokes have finished before, but with more displacement, (750cc Suzuki Water Buffalo).Another indicator that the H-D is going to sell. . . . there's one listed for this event, and barely on the street. And, only three Teneres.
There is no reason to lower that bike. Seat hight is not a determining factor in regards to holding a bike up. How can he be riding some other bike at the finish and still be considered a finisher? Are the IBR rules different than the standard IB rules?I know the KTM 300 EXC 6 Day 2-stroke rider and he's already a multiple IBR finisher, but I still think he's nuts and will be riding some other bike at the finish.

I'm willing to bet that is not just a standard bike purchased at any old dealer. The entrant probably had mechanics (or himself) go over that bike with a fine tooth comb to ensure it will not break down during the event.Another indicator that the H-D PA is going to sell. . . . there's one listed for this event, and barely on the street.
