There were a number of bikes with the same score. Tiebreakers are as follows: 1st: lower class wins over high class. None of the class 1 bikes were in contention, but there were a number of class 2 bikes with perfect scores. 2nd tiebreaker is the age of the bike and the final tiebreaker, the age of the rider.
The overall winner was the same guy who one it the first time.
Several people did follow along that were attached to various teams. That had to be cleared ahead of time and we were not allowed to offer any assistance or tools. People not associated with a team were free to follow along. Support vans had to travel (mostly) by a different route everyday, except where that was not practical.
We had someone riding with Darryl most every day taking pictures and/or video. I took a lot of stuff with my iPhone that turned out fairly well. I hope to be able to post the sequence where Darryl downshifts from third to 2nd. There is no accelerator on his bike, just controls for spark, air and fuel. The shifter is a hand shifter on the right and air and fuel are also on that side. He gets pretty busy!
It's cool to know you guys were following along.

Even thaw at one time I had many parts for much older bikes the oldest I built out of pieces and rode daily was a 42 and 46 which I took several 2,000 to 3,000 mile trips. I all so helped a good friend of mine build his 1935 VL.
My 1942 WL I built out of pieces and rode from Macon, GA to Richmond Virgina and back.
All so my 1946UL that I started with 2 bear wheel hubs and a gasket kit. Been in 14 shows won 22 awards 3 magazines and one news paper. Road to Key West and back. It was my daily rider for many a year.
Then my friends 1935VL I help build.
Hi Steve,
How is Daryl doing ? I would hope a bit better by now. Seeing his bike being pulled up the side of the cliff was a bit sickning to see knowing what people go through to restore them. I went down to Pa. to see them leave from Wellsboro we were up a hill on a curve when the ontrage went by. Saw Gary Haynes he came back to say hi real quickly and off he went I followed Chris Knoop a while till the JAP called it quits for the day and helped him , lonnie and a few others load it on the trailer.............So what's doing for 2014?? I would still like to see someone at least finish it with a sidecar rig, oh I'll be looking for your book to come out
winters coming.
