Not to start a brand-war but I'm curious, when you folks go to a rally, are there any particular brand/model of motorcycles you see more than others? STs/ FJRs? BMW RT/GS'? GWs?
Depends, at the start or the finish...he he he.

During the IBR more FJRs finished than started ...Haha, Yeah, I meant at the finish.![]()
Curious about this. Was it the reduced wind protection or something else that made the GS less suited to long interstate runs?I think for me the GSA was the most comfortable but it was not the best for long interstate runs.

You pretty much see everything from the maojor manufacturers at rallys or at the annual banquet at Jacksonville. From my casual observation there is a large percentage of BMWs (RT, GS(A), K1600), Goldwings, ST1300, and FJRs. Super Tenere's and Vstroms are fairly common as well. Triumph Tigers and Tropheys are commonly seen but usually only a few.
I think his name is Bret and he took 3rd place in 2007And there is a Sportster that does pretty well too. I forget who rides it.)

I was making reference to Chris Comly a more recent Sportster.I think his name is Bret and he took 3rd place in 2007![]()
