That's the place and 7:00 is fine with me, they don't close until 11:00.

I should be able to be there. I'm staying at the Courtyard by Marriott near I-459 & 280. Looking forward !!

This is shaping up to be a nice little STN mini-meet.  

Attendees, hotels, and who's in for dinner?

Let's start a list...

Dave.TX –  hotel (LaQuinta) – dinner (yes)  + 1 or 2 or 4  

Raptor2a – hotel (LaQuinta) – dinner (yes)

Tyrroneous – hotel (Holiday Inn Express) – dinner (yes)

Mesmotized – hotel (LaQunita) – dinner (yes)

R Doug – hotel (LaQuinta) – dinner (yes)

Kyzrex – hotel (maybe) – dinner (maybe)

Thanks R Doug for putting together that list.

There's another Austin rider that will be joining us for dinner (also on the TWT forum), Alan, who will be coming from Arkansas and staying in Leeds for the races.

I'm also on the FZ6 forum and a few of those guys are going to the races, I've also told them about dinner at Superior so hopefully we can get a little bike night of sorts there. I used to have an FZ6 so still visit their forum. It's funny that several of us on that forum no longer have FZ6's. I still miss mine sometimes.

Can't say that I WILL be there for either the races or the dinner, but still a possibility.  Family obligations may get in the way, but we'll see closer to the time.

[Tyrroneous]

We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Irondale.  Its about 10 minutes from the track right off of I-20.


Also, I just ordered our tickets through the Barber website.  If you enter promo code "Superstore", when you check out, you get a free paddock upgrade via motorcyclesuperstore.com

Way to break out the 'way back' machine Lee!

[mesmotized]

My plans have changed!  It looks like I'll be staying Saturday night  I'm booked at the LaQuinta with most of the other guys.  I'm definitely in for dinner!

I'm confirmed at LQ (Cahaba park circle)- hope that's where everyone is.  I'm in for dinner as well.  Also after that, I'll probably park the bike at the hotel and walk or grab a cab to someplace where they will be showing the UFC fight that night and grab a beer or two.  If anyone's interested in going, that's cool too.  

I tried that "superstore" upgrade and don't see on my tickets about a paddock upgrade, so hopefully I can just buy them there...anyone know if that's possible?

I beleive that's the one.  At least, that's the one I'll be at.  So, I'll be at the wrong or correct one with you.

The paddock upgrade is supposed to come via email.  I haven't gotten anything yet either.  You can buy paddock passes at the track.  There will be a tent set up by one of the gates to the paddock area. Pay your money, sign a waiver and you are in.

[Dave.TX]

Bought our tickets online before seeing this posting for "superstore" so paid for paddock. Printed them out, mine say "General Admission & Paddock" on them. I also purchased the parade lap for Sunday. Why not? Don't know when I'll be able to do that again. Tom didn't but then he's old.  

As for dinner it'll be myself and Tom, possibly Alan and that's it.

As for UFC fights, there is a pub right next to the La Quinta called Hogan's Irish Pub & Grill. They might have it on. Across 280 from LQ is a strip mall that also has a Buffalo Wild Wings, pretty sure they'd have it. Near by there's a Tilted Kilt near the I-20 and a Hooters in the other direction so I'm pretty sure one of those places will have the fight. I can have a beer or two myself but prefer not to ride unless it's one with dinner then water after.

I won't have my laptop with me, only a 7" tablet to check emails and forums. I guess there's a contingency of us staying at La Quinta so maybe we can get together Thursday evening. We'll get in sometime in the afternoon and since I'm addicted to food will want to eat dinner somewhere.

[raptor2a]

Thanks for the info...If I don't get that email, I'll just buy paddock passes there...no big deal....Buffalo WW will more than likely have the fight and it's within walking/stumbling distance according to their website...won't be on the bike after drinking for sure.

I may have already mentioned before but I have a decent DSLR camera that I'll be taking hundreds of photos with. In case we want to get together and get some good photos of the group just let me know. I won't be bringing a tripod so nothing too fancy. I don't mind taking individual pics either if you want me to email them to you once I get home. I'm no pro, though, but better than your average point-n-shooter.

Looks like after Superior Grill some will head to BWW's to get the UFC fight.

A Triumph Trophy, I've only seen pictures of them in Europe. Do they sell them here in the USA now? Haven't paid close enough attention to it.

[raptor2a]

Just fyi, I got the email today and they upgraded my tickets to gen. admission and paddock, so the "superstore" code worked.  Sweet.
