Uncle or Richard, do you guys have approximate numbers from last year's event? I was just wondering how this one was shaping up compared to last year.

**WoodButcher** · 11-19-2008, 12:39 PM

Well, just looking at the attendance threads, we are up to 44 right now and last year there were only 50 names total.

I looked at a couple of pictures from the ride report and tried to count bikes, but only got 29. That seems awfully low to me. So guessing I say close to the attendance list.

Trail Boss · 11-19-2008, 05:14 PM

I think 50 - 60 people attended last year. Uncle had a number of friends from Oklahoma attend who did not sign the attendance roster.

Based on the response so far, I expect more riders to attend this year.

jhansen · 11-19-2008, 08:04 PM

Not that I commit to anything past next week, but is there anybody going down there on a street bike? It will be highly unlikely that I will have a DS (unless I win the lotto) and wonder if there are street people going too.

Trail Boss · 11-19-2008, 08:42 PM

Jeff,

I don't know if there will be riders on street-only bikes, but last year there were riders who only rode pavement (including me). Street riders are very welcome at Uncle's "Run what ya brung" non-event. Hope you can make it.

I have a street bike and I really want to do this trip!

Is anyone else from Austin going? I'm waffling between riding out or trailering. I even priced out renting a pop up trailer with a "toy hauler deck."

gtunche · 11-20-2008, 03:09 AM

I will be on my R1100RT BMW

jhansen · 11-20-2008, 05:58 AM

Thanks....now to start working the schedule.

chopperbob · 11-20-2008, 01:36 PM

Roundblack,
I think there are lots of riders from Austin attending. Some ride and some
trailer etc. Last year Rusty and I trailered three bikes and hoteled it.
There are many options. RV parks, free camping (near Uncles) Motels and of course
Lajitas (more upscale). Mabey you can score room with someone who will be taking a large trailer. There are lots of rides for street only bikes. Its amazing how much stuff the street and D/S guys carry with them.
Bob

**WoodButcher** · 11-20-2008, 03:51 PM

Lajitas resort declared bankruptcy a while back. I don't know what's open there for places to stay. Check it when you are down there next week Bob.

roundblack · 11-20-2008, 04:01 PM

Richard, put me down for one!

chopperbob · 11-20-2008, 04:30 PM

I will do that. It looks like i'm not taking the bike with me. The wifey will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the rv and I havent come up with any body
to ride with. Ill make up for it on the Uncles ride. Will be spending lots of time on the porch for sunsets etc.
Bob

**Robert K** · 11-22-2008, 11:07 AM

Count me in also. Sounds like fun. And a good warm up for the TAR.

Welcome to the site Robert.

**Robert K** · 11-22-2008, 03:57 PM

Hi Rusty, I lurk a lot but don't post much. Actually TWTEX is one of the few motorcycle forums I read. Great site and I'm really envious of that Mexico trip Richard and Crew just took. Maybe next year.
We have our Christmas Party here on Dec. 13 so maybe we'll see you here. I guess I ought to ask Richard about posting info on it. Lot's of good food and good times.

Dave Bell · 11-24-2008, 03:38 PM

Richard please put me on the list.

Dave Bell

PharrSide · 11-25-2008, 09:25 PM

Count me in unless there is a heatwave in the forecast for that weekend. Been there, done that. February should be OK.

slowoldguy · 11-27-2008, 09:04 PM

Nice to see ya' Robert. Greetings from West of Waco. Will be down at the shop Friday early with Savage picking up his new "red" victim. He's talking about trying to make this trip but I think surgery will win out this time. Talk him into Mexico. The nephews and I are planning on doing this as a tune-up for Mexico but who knows, we may just head staright down south.

GTgirl · 11-27-2008, 10:55 PM

I wanna go....are us ladies invited to this one?
