Hello Members,

Next year will be our 15th anniversary of the Bluebonnet Thunder Rally hosted by the Texas X Riders.  Over the last few years we have had some pretty good attendance but we would like more.  We look forward to see those prior members that have attended and those new members that have not had a chance to attend.

While we can't accommodate every single person we try as a whole to organize as best as possible an event for many to enjoy. 

With that said, save from health problems or financial burdens, what keeps you/kept you from attending (i.e.: location, time of year, lack of riding skill, lodging, Gumbo, etc.) 

Let's hear it.  Remember, health or financial burdens are out of any one person's control except yourself and we don't expect you to put any undue stress from it.  But what keeps you?

We would love to have you attend and enjoy the camaraderie this event is so well known for. 

BBT XV - Here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobcat Biker]

No suggestions from me...just can't wait for it..
Let us know as soon as we land on a date.
Cabin 8!!

Well I has plans on attending the one this year, but my dad's stroke cause me to miss a lot of work. So I this year I fit bot health and financial reasons. Next year might be hard as I'm possibly going to Thailand for 2 weeks early in the year. Will have to see how things play out.

I think most of the answers will be time and money.  Who wouldn't want to hang out with a bunch of great people and ride the Hill Country.  As long as I can hold a bike up I am planning on going to the BBT.

Nothing keeps me from attending, I would like to see bluebonnets this year!
So more bluebonnets and less Matap!

I definitely agree on the Bluebonnets.  Maybe we can do first or second week of April, it should be cooler then as well.

If you ride behind me you'll see less of me....

What would get you to come to BBTXV?  Real suggestions please.

I enjoy being with like minded people. The biggest thing for me is it is hard to schedule that much time off and not have my family involved. My wife doesn't ride and will not ride 2 up. We also have custody of a granddaughter now so family comes first. I would like to attend the next one but I will wait and see how it all lines up.
BTW what are the dates for the next BBT.

I can forsee no reason why not to be there. This past year, as most people know, I was sick as a dog but I still showed. Yes I did play Porch Monkey most of the time but I was there and will be again!

This is good.  We want to know what as a group we can do to encourage more folks to come.  If there is something about BBT that keeps people away I want to know. 

I feel BBT has always been a family affair.  We have had people attend that last few years that didn't even ride or were even passengers for that matter.  Bandera and surrounding has a lot to offer other than motorcycle riding.   

Some members just like to ride to Bandera and then kick it all week or weekend long in town only. 

I encourage you to bring your family out and make this your family outing vacation.  Dates TBD

For me it comes down to scheduling conflicts.
I commit to doing the Texas VW Classic every
year and my vacation plus the "on off" weekends
just make it hard to attend. Maybe someday.

Porch Monkey is a very important position in the group. Right up there with being the Prez!
