S3 is but may/may not bring the RT1B. We're staying in a new place about an hour from the Gap. It's not fast enough nor comfortable enough for an hour haul one way just to get there. I'd like to ride the dragon again on it. Suprisingly it rounded corners like it was on rails.

That is one of the other bikes on my 4-stroke list
Anybody bringing a GS1100 for the Trifacta?

I'll be bringing similar kit to last year.

75 H1
Should be upgraded with a new seat cover and a set of Jim's chambers. I might even go crazy and install an EX500 brake.
Image

Husky 450 SMR
Upgrades to include non-bent triple clamps, re-sprung and valved suspension, and some decent tires.
Image

Polini Sidecar
Image

"Sparky"
Might make a return. It's about to undergo a bit of a build.
Image

A new secret weapon of mass destruction for the mini races will replace Jeff's venerable KE100 :shock:
Image

Also, if Bigmo is up for the trip and his daughters can't get the time off, I will bring him :wave:

Last time I was there (a few years back) they had just started competitive mini-racing in the front parking lot; it was total chaos and a riot although some of those guys were a bit too serious about the whole deal

Are old school minibikes useful to have (maybe race them at night) or does it just annoy the owners?

I laugh at the take it serious guys :lol:

The owner is cool and loves minibikes! He rides one around all the time... They're only annoying to grumpy old men :lol:

Old school minibikes in particular are cool and should be required if available :D

Sporty bikes on US129 are annoying to travelers too, why so grumpy?

They don't annoy me. You can just tell these guys want to race, and rolling road blocks (mostly) are not a lot of fun. Kinda like beginners on track days, they are scary. And face it, stroker.... you are scary..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gumby wasn't screaming for fun........ ;)
