For those who went, you probably know I was heavily involved in the SportBike Rally in Iraan Texas. SportBike Extravaganza ran 10 years. The upside? Our biggest year was almost 1000 Bikes! The downside, low local sponsorship(only one local business would donate) there is nothing there to do, it's hours from anywhere and county commissioners didn't like the drag racing and stunt shows.
After our stay this weekend and visiting with some locals, we are rethinking doing another SportBike event! Leakey seems to be an excellent location. The area is already Biker friendly, there is great riding, plenty of lodging and it's closer to large metropolitan areas to pull riders from(Austin, San Antonio, Houston) probably thinking of changing from a one day to a three day format mid October. There is an air strip there(drag racing) nice areas to congregate and hang out and it is a great location to base from for riding the Three Twisted Sisters! It takes about a full year to put an event of this size together so we would really need a decision before the first of the year. So fellow TWT'ers what are YOUR thoughts?
