I just bought my Ticket :bikerider:
Anyone else gunna go?
-
We go every year. MataP (Paul) goes when he can along with others. We need a get-to-together.
-
Hope to make it this year just depends on how things are around here with the wife.
-
My dad and I used to go every year. However, when I started working in security I couldn't get the time off anymore. So the last 4 years I haven't been. I am really glad that I get to go this year again.
We should get together, maybe plan a short ride to hippy hollow or something. Doesn't someone in here own a coffee shop or something?

yes , silver streak owns a coffee and hot dog trailer on burnett road. Good coffee and great hotdogs. Lot of motorcycle folks go there.

I won't be able to go this year. Really bummed about it but I'm going to replace it with a ride to the high grounds this year I think.

Sorry you cant make it this year MataP! Maybe you could meet up with us anyway!

I've been to the rally just about every year. I volunteer to work there with a non-profit group, called MSET, that provides first-repsonder medical service for the rally. That only involves working one or two 8-hour shifts, afterwhich I'm free to participate in the rally. I'd certainly like to join up with my fellow Xriders for a get-together during the rally.

Oh Jeez!! Im an XRider Noob!! Joined VTX Café last month and refrained from this site until now... Im wondering why they don't have the ROT listed under the main threads?....
-
Looks like my plans have changed a bit. MSET is not going to be providing the First Responder service for the rally this year, but I'll be working at one of the vendor booths each day. The vendor is Mounting Innovations, and the owner is a close friend of mine. I'd be glad to see any of my fellow X'ers who are able to stop by. I'm also going to be free in the evenings if anyone organizes a get-together.

I will be glad to stop by and see what y'all got. We need to plan a get together at silver-streaks "hotdog on a truck". I say Thursday at about 1400 let meet up at Hotdog joint and see who showed up.
Silver Streak, What the address to your place so I can GPS it?
Who's in?
-
I don't know the exact address but I think it's about the 6100 block of Burnet road. Next to an audio place. Good guy , good dogs.
-
Ill try and make it. Convince my buddies to grab a dog :lunch:
-
I'm really diggin all the new folks posting, let's keep it up, we need all the new people we can get :thumbup:
Looks l7kr central Texas is waking up :notworthy:
Houston we need to step it up. :stickpoke:
-
I'll be downtown on Friday, but the bike stays in the garage on ROT weekend. Too many knuckleheads in town.
-
So are we on for Thursday 1400? I will be getting to the fair grounds about 0730-0800. PM me for my number if yall want to call and meet up.
Also, Other than the hill country, are there any good rides out of Austin (Maybe to the east) that may result in some BBQ or something. Every year we ride to Albert, Luckenbach, Kerville... I was hoping to hit some new roads this year. Any Ideas?

Take 1431 over to Marble Falls, stay on it up to where it hits 29, take a left and go into Llano, where you will find Cooper's. bring your appetite and checkbook. Or, you can also take 281 north out of Marble Falls, and a few miles out of town, take Park Road 4, which will be on your left. Nice little ride, and will shoot you out on 29, where you'll take a left and go to Llano.
When you're done stuffing your face, take 16 south out of Llano. That will take you into Fredericksburg, or if you're feeling like a hike after lunch, you can swing by Enchanted Rock. Nice view from the top, but be prepared to sweat this time of year.
And of course, because this is ROT, be prepared for a lot of traffic.

Next time you go to Llano check out the burger barn. They have a Chicken fried burger that is awesome!! Park road 4 is one of my favorites. I go to Inks lake 3 or 4 times a year! I will have to check out Coopers though, I have never been there.

East of Austin, Elgin has a number of BBQ places. The one I most prefer is Crosstown Bar-B-Que, located in town, one block west of S. Main St., between W. Brenham St. and W. Austin St. The addess is: 202 S Ave C, Elgin, TX 78621, and their phone number is (512) 281-5594.
I've also heard good things about the City Meat Market & BBQ in Giddings, but I've never tried it. They have a web site at http://citymeatmarket.biz/. (http://citymeatmarket.biz/.)
The country side between Austin and either Elgin or Giddings is pretty, so any route you take will offer some nice scenery, but I'm unaware of any route you might take that will provide some nice twisties. Unless someone else knows otherwise, I suspect that any way you choose to go will be pleasant but will have to be traveled for the good food at the end rather than for the challenge (if that's what you're also looking for).
Ride Safe and Enjoy,
Mike

If I'm in Llano, it's not to eat a hamburger.

Sounds like a meetup plan to me! I will be in Austin anyway since my son will be at UT Football Camp starting the 12th.
See you all there.

I guess it is about time I chime in. I'm Ken of Hot Rod Coffee Trailer. Yes we have hot dogs, but not just any little hot dog. Here size matters!! All ours are Nathan's 1/4 lb all beef hot dogs. Besides the usual traditionals like sauerkraut & onions and chili & cheese, we sell a lot of our unique specials and plenty of them to choose from. All originals. Popular selling dogs are the Mango Madness and the Blue Cheese Slaw Dog or our Frito Dog plus the Dragon Dog. You might be interested in what they are now. Visit us on Facebook to see lots of pics of our stuff, or our website..
http://www.hotrodcoffeetrailer.com (http://www.hotrodcoffeetrailer.com)
For Facebook just go to Hot Rod Coffee Trailer, "like" the page while you are there
Now besides awesome hot dogs we've got a full espresso bar for iced or hot lattes or mochas, hot coffee, a delicious cold brewed coffee for your caffeine without the acidity, so it is easy on the stomach. Bottomless iced tea is half off with any hot dog. Everyday we have tasty breakfast sandwiches also. Muffins and croissants are delivered here from a local bakery. We also have bagels locally from here in Austin that are blessed from Brooklyn, NY.
As I was telling Drew in a message, try and call me (512-516-3113) before ya'll leave with an estimate of how many are going to show so I can make sure we have enough dogs already on the grill if you can. Otherwise I'll see ya'll when you get here.
Btw, we are at 6546 Burnet Rd, Austin 78757 in front of a car audio place as Xcalibur said. Let me know what else you need to know about us.

Y'all go by and support a fellow Xrider. Like I saisd good guy, good dogs. I usually go by whenever I'm working in Austin.
-
Me + 1!!! see you there
-
Had plans to try and make it but out for now have to wait for next year.
-
Will see you there, probably multiple times this week since I will be up there Wed afternoon through Saturday morning as my son is attending Longhorn Football Camp.

Well that was fun! I made it back yesterday afternoon. I will upload some pics later for you guys. I ran into in at least 14-15 VTX's out there and none of them had heard about the Texas board, so i told them and maybe some new members will come on. I do have a few awards I want to give out though;
Best Concert goes to: Vince Neil from Motley Crue
Best Side Show goes to: That Ball of Death thing
Best Vendor Booth goes to: The Airbrush one that paints all the half naked chicks
Best Bike goes to: The one pictured below in my signature :bikerider:
