IBRFacts updated

[dmcqueeney]

A revision to the IBRFacts webpage was uploaded to the Iron Butt Rally History website recently, reflecting the results of the 2023 IBR.
For all of the 21 IBRs (1984-2023), IBRFacts provides summary descriptions, final standings, links to full descriptions, and various statistics about mileages, riders, motorcycles, and winners, as well as notable occurrences.
IBRFacts also includes some lists . . .
-- IBR rider names (alphabetical)
-- All finishers’ IBA Numbers & names (numerical) -- new item
-- Riders with DNFs (alphabetical within count)
-- Remembrance for deceased IBR finishers
Notable about the 2023 rally . . .
-- James Owen became the first rider to win three IBRs (2009, 2017, 2023)
-- Finishers first exceeded one million total miles during a single IBR (1,001,046 miles); DNFs increased the total to 1,062,792
-- Kirsten Talken-Spaulding (operator) and Chris McGaffin (passenger) became the first female-male two-up finisher in an IBR

Note: The rearrangement of past IBR reports has been completed, and IBRFacts incorporates proper links to those reports.

Very cool, Dave! Great work... The link to the Facts page at the bottom of <https://www.ironbutt.org/IBRhistory/index.htm> goes somewhere else that 404s out...

Stephen . . . Thanks for identifying an outdated link.
The link that you cited is for a deprecated history menu page. (Notice that a 2023 IBR entry does not appear on that page).
I'm not sure of your source for this cited link. Perhaps you saved it earlier, or it's being retrieved from cache rather than refreshing.
The current history menu page is <https://www.ironbuttrally.com/IBRHistory/index.htm> which contains proper links.
Please acccess pages from the current main IBA page <https://ironbutt.com>

Nice job, Dave

Thanks for all your hard work Dave. Looks great and gives us easy access to some of the data we knew before, but have forgotten. Okay, "I have forgotten!"

Dave: Your list of smallest motorcycles to finish the rally includes a KLR650 in 1993, but not the BMW F650s that finished in 1997 & 99.

Steve . . . Thanks for informing me about the F650s not included in the smallest motorcycles section of IBRFacts. I plan to add those (and some others that I found) to that section in the next webpage update.

Many of the 2009 links got to a 404 error page. I believe 2007 do as well.

Thanks for reporting some failing links on the 2009 IBR History page. I've confirmed the issue and emailed Mike Kneebone today for resolution, since it appears to be outside of the IBRFacts area that I maintain.
However, I don't find any failing links from the 2007 IBR History page. But if you have also found issues there, please provide additional details.

I’ll recheck my dates..

I’ll recheck my dates..

Thanks, Jon . . .
I see that the 2011 IBR History page does include four failing links and omits the link for the rally's Day7 report, which does exist.
Again, these pages are outside of the IBRFacts area that I maintain, but I've emailed Mike and requested resolution.

Thanks for checking, Dave. The Epilogue link for 2013 is also broken. I’ll let you know if I find anymore, I’m enjoying (re)reading the reports!

Jon . . . Earlier reported link failures have been fixed by Mike. I reviewed all of the IBR History pages referenced from IBRFacts, prepared a list of the remaining failing links, and emailed the list to Mike for resolution.

Wendy rode the same bike 5 times I think? Have there been any bikes other bikes that have finished more five or more?
