Title: Who is going to the BUB event this year?
Post by: isiahstites on July 10, 2009, 11:50:48 PM

I am hoping to tech late on the 29th or early the morning of the 30th and plan on staying the whole week.

Nancy and I will be there with laptop and camera.  We'll leave immediately after the event ends so we can spend the Labor Day weekend houseboating on Lake Powell, and from there go to Luckenbach, Texas, for a western music and poetry and fun "fandango".  But we'll be at Bub's -- only not to enter, just to report.

Jon, I live about 25 miles from Luckenbach. We will have to get together while you are down here.

Seeing as though the salt fever has yet to subside, the Gray Ghost, baring any unforeseen unfortunate situation will be there.  The ole GMC has a little over 170K miles on it now, but I think its good for one more cross country trip. I just can't see missing all the great people, and machinery. It's one of the few things I look forward to all year.   :-D
See yaz on da salt -   :cheers:

Fred:

It's a new thing for us -- an adventure into the unknown.  But what the heck -- it's a way to fill the time between Bub's and World of Speed.  For sure you oughta come find us to let us know something we oughta know.  We're probably going to stay in Fredericksburg, since Luckenbach doesn't seem to be big enough to have motels.  Is this correct?

Definitely, Luckenbach consists of a country store, barn\dance hall, feed store and a couple of houses, lots of trees, benches, and a makeshift stage. Its rustic :-D. I will definitely see you at salt talks if not before.

Looks like I will be able to arrive in time to tech on the 29th and be around for all the festivities. Lodging this year will move from The Nugget to the Econo Lodge....anyone that has stayed there have any comments?

I am wondering how many that visit this site will make it to Bub as a racer, crew member or volunteer? Look forward to hearing from ya'll.

Luckenbach is a great bike destination, and is not too far from Boerne as well, to open the hotel options up.  Would love to ride out and catch up with y'all as well, if you are in the mood for company:)

see ya at Salt Talks!

I'm definitely going, because even though my machine
won't be ready for competition this year, I still love the chaos of impound.

Plus,to make certain I'm kept busy..........

Speed Team Doo (STD) out of Kansas City, Topeka and Seattle hope to field four bikes.  We are long on riders and short on pit crew this year but we are geared for fun.   :cheers:

I just had my cameras cleaned and calibrated, reservations have been made, and I am ready. I will be making another yearbook for 2009 and once again a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Save the Salt. People are still buying the 2008 yearboook and you can too, I will list the link below, so you can bring them this year to collect your autographs from last years participants.
I look forward to seeing all on the Salt.

 :?Uh OO. Guess I will rent a something else. Thanks for the heads up.

Post by: Seldom Seen Slim on July 27, 2009, 09:21:54 AM

Yes, indeed, we hear the R-a-W closed a few months ago.  I don't remember ther est of the rental discussion -- that is, who the alternate acceptable rental company might be.  If nothing else -- post on here and see if you can find someone that'll be willing to give you a ride to and from the metro Wendover area.  No doubt there's a way to rent without having to pay a huge "no-salt" deposit -- I just don't remember what it is.

Tell em you're going to Cedar City!! Or Bear Lake on the Utah/Idaho border.  The mileage would be close to right and they wouldn't have to drive on the salt, we have "some" parking available during the day at Land's End and have no problem bumming a ride for you....heck, even the spectators will give you a ride!!  Puts a "special" stamp on their foreheads and a memory to cherish!!

We used Enterprise last year ... showed up at the airport with gym bags and helmets ... told them we were going to Miller Motorsports Park (true) ... for the week (false) ... to race gokarts and a friends car (kinda, sorta truish).

Fortunately the salt was dry and there was no residue.

It looks like we will be there.  This will be Werner's first salt adventure and his Honda is sort of almost ready.  My triumph is done and I am on my pre-race diet.  It starts two weeks before we leave and I aim to lose 50 pounds.  One less beer and slice of pizza a day should be enough.  And low-fat sour cream on the burritos.

There is some good riding at speedweek.  The over 250 mph speed on the old Kawaski 1000 is amazing.  I will be real happy to go half that fast! 

Title: Re: Who is going to the BUB event this year?
Post by: wobblywalrus on August 28, 2009, 02:36:46 AM

We are leaving tomorrow. Hopefully we will get there.  We have a purple Toyota truck, a Honda 150 dirt bike converted to a modified partial streamliner, and a Triumph that looks and handles like the Titanic.  My son's Team Go Dog, Go shirt says "Werner" and mine says "Wobbly."  My youngest daughter, Gretchen, will be there too.  Come over and say hello.
