Hey Dofin,
I contacted Mike Kneebone (pres. ironbutt association).... I told him about you doing the BBG and sent him the link to see your bike setup, and the annual 2 stroke meeting.. I think he is convinced to come visit us at Deals Gap.. He is a GT550 and GT380 fan.. Here is our email....

He is sick and twisted! Tell him we need a short story and those
photos for a short web page about the BBG on that beast! Push him hard :)

THANK YOU for sending it!!!

Allen, I will send Mike a write up about the ride but I kind a thought that I should wait until they approve my paperwork? It is all about the paperwork so there's no hanky panky.

This ride really went pretty smoothly, it was the first two that were interesting! But being a newbie with the IBA I didnt think about submiting a ride log. I guess it is to late to do that? Dofin
