I want to... badly... but the timing is just not very good for me, unfortunately.

If I do make it, likely it will be only for the day, and probably in my car.

I definitely want a couple of shirts, so put me down for two XL's please.

Sounds good to me. Ive ridden more in the past three months than I have in the past three years.

The Uly is running great and I'm feeling it!

...like the shirt design, but dude kinda creeps me out.

Might make it, too soon to tell. After missing April Buells, I'm ready to do a trip. Gotta find out if my aunt is traveling from Tampa to Nashvegas next month or not...

I've got T-shirt orders from Coldwind, Pwnzor, Rcontroler, Tootal, and myself so far.

Several people that haven't been to BITA before have expressed interest. Hopefully we're looking at a big crowd this year.

It's looking a lot like there will be a chase car/support vehicle for Saturday...

Just sayin'. Oh, and not that I should notice, but is his fly open? ; )

I seem to recall seeing a purple Corvette in Suches a couple of years ago.

My answer to you is, I want my wife to come along, and it's a long way for her to go - crouched on the back of the Z. Her knees can't take that riding position for an extended period of time.

I hate to say it, but if we manage to make it this year, it's likely we may be in the Miata.

Heading to Little Switzerland in a drop-top aint too bad... plus, what Hugh said! They've got several pretty nice bikes, D/S IIRC, that would be a hoot to ride on roads OR trails!

Still too soon to tell for me- after my April surgery and last year's taxes hitting me, things are pretty skinny. Sure would do me good to ride the BRP though...

A little over three weeks to go ‘til the meet. I’ve got a handful of t-shirt orders; if you want one and haven’t ordered one yet, please let me know ASAP. $12 each for most sizes.

Ft_bstrd was leaning heavily towards coming, but I haven't gotten confirmation from him. I know that Twig and Rcontroler and his son will be there.

Crap! Rode about 150 miles yesterday. There is no way my rear tire will make it.

Continental Conti 3. It is a single compound tire. I do not have 2800 miles on it. By 3000 there will be threads showing.

To me, that is lame.

Better figuring that out yesterday than at Little Switzerland.

My front Pilot Road 2 that looked great when I left SC was toasted after 2 days of riding in the mountains when I was there a couple of years ago. I found a little independent motorcycle shop down the mountain in Marion that had a few used tires. He sold me a decent front tire and mounted it for ~$50 or so that got me through the rest of the week.

"Better figuring that out yesterday than at Little Switzerland."



That fella helped me out last time too, on a Sunday even- truly a class act!! And, FWIW, unless I come into some extra $$$, I'm out.
Sure would enjoy a BRP ride, man that would help air my head out a bit.

I forgot about that. My son-in-law got a front tire from him too. That was pretty handy considering we were otherwise going to have to drive ~40 miles to Asheville and pay full list for a new tire from one of the dealers there.

BTW- deadline for T-shirt orders is Sunday, 16 July. Let me know if you want one.

Question- has anyone heard from Dennis_C recently? Looks like his last post at Badweb was back in October 2017. He's been a regular attendee to BITA for the past 4 or 5 years.
