I'm fortunate enough to have friends and riding buddies in both Austin and San Antonio. I get to stay there for free. Unfortunately, my schedule will not allow me to be there this year. Maybe next time.

Just a reminder. Dinner on Saturday at Black's BBQ in Lockhart after the track action is done. Then to the Hand Built Show in Austin.

Looks like a few us will be there for dinner.

It looks like Hand Built Show has changed location and now has $15 admission. It's been moved to the Statesman newspaper south of the river. dunno

I am open to alternatives

Are you coming down to Moto GP as well Chris?

Negative...this year's budget cuts compel judicious utilization of available funds now that I'm supporting both a Guzzi and a MINI habit!

PJPR01 · « **Reply #38 on:** April 05, 2019, 11:18:11 AM »

Priorities! Well, if you come down, I was going to suggest you route first to my house, and we head over to Fayetteville on the way up thru La Grange and then to Austin.

Good huckleberry pies at Orsak's in FAyetteville!

I will be attending MotoGP Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have Ducati Island passes and will be riding my two Ducatis and parking in the Ducati Island section. Last year this was at turn one near the main grandstand.

I will be attending Thursday Ducati Austin event and AF1 Friday night event. Hope to see some of you there.

I saw note about BBQ at Black's on Saturday after track events. The last event on Saturday is at 16:15- Motoamerica Superbike. It is 15 laps (approximately 30 minutes). Is everyone heading to Blacks after the 16:15 race? If this is the plan, we could meet at the entry/exit to Ducati Island?

LowRyter · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2019, 09:37:25 PM »

the Black's BBQ get together will expand beyond all space and time (but 5:30 pm should be pretty close). Plenty of Italian rides like Guzzis and Ducs, a "new song of the sausage creature" and perhaps a big Yamaha.

the weather might play into it. But I'll be there rain or shine. I'll be on the a red bike with a "steal your face" emblem on a silver helmet.

Saturday !!!! Saturday !!!!!!!! Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BE THERE

IT's Goona BE Huuuugeeeeeeeeeeeee

Got it from Springfield (MO) John.

Paul, any chance you can make Saturday? "One More Saturday Night" ................... Crank up that old Victrola, put on them rockin' shoes

PJPR01 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 08, 2019, 11:11:26 PM »

I'm sorely tempted to try and make it, but unfortunately I can't get away on Saturday - family commitments.

bettythebear · « **Reply #46 on:** April 09, 2019, 06:53:21 AM »

I live about a mile away from Black's and usually only go in there once a year, most likely due to visiting friends/family. If I meet you guys there, that's it for the rest of the year, and I'll have to let the friends/family know I can't go again because of a bunch of Guzzi riders.

Don't miss this if you are in the area!

Thanks for the reminder Chris.

1. AUstin Ducati Party is Thursday evening (expect to see GP riders Dovi and Petrucci)

2. AF1 Aprilia/Guzzi is Friday.

3. Saturday is the Black's BBQ in Lockhart get together, probably 5:30-6:00 showup.

4. Also Saturday is the Handbuilt Show, looks like they moved to the Statesman Newspaper + $$ admission.. . (maybe we can get a confirmation?)

anyone traveling there and want to meet up or get more instructions, PM and we can exchange phone numbers.
