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...

What is up with a person who would drive a car to a bike event? What the hell man?!?! |

Hey- remember you can always rent a bike at the hotel for the day! |

... why don't they market their designs with a hot chick instead of Mr. GoonyGrin?? Just sayin'. Oh, and not that I should notice, but is his fly open? (Message edited by 86129squids on June 14, 2018) |

What is up with a person who would drive a car to a bike event? 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. |

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. (Message edited by Hughlysses on July 12, 2018) |
