You didn't think so?
What is your point?
I can tell you mine..... I don't like that location & why would I waste my money on riding there if I don't feel that I'll have fun? Sure it's fun to putt around on it :brutale: and feel good about being there. Mv's are not made for that track, maybe your Brutale is.... but I think even a Brutale should deserve more respect than to be cruising around Little Tally. It's even in the name "Little Tally".... :stickpoke
I never complained about the location, I just didn't go.
Don't compare it with an actual race track like any Moto GP tracks.... it's not even close to them, not even close to the "Road Atlanta" or "Barber Motosports" tracks.
Ever hear anyone say "Hey next year, let's go to the Moto GP race at Little Tally." ??? :jerkoff: Yeah right.
I know that there's a cost involved to renting a track and all. It's great that it was put together and Elton did a great job from what I've read on here. I simply didn't want to put my money into something I wouldn't enjoy to my fullest. Why does that seem wrong?
And...
I'm not trying to belittle your "Bubba Meet" at all, It's a great time for everyone to get together for the love of the Mv brand.
Do it for the love of the brand, not so you can pat yourself on the back for the next year cause you put it together.
Having said that, I doubt I'll be invited to this years meet, and I will still live either way it falls.
I love my bike and I love the people on this forum as well (even if you don't have an Mv).
:smoking:
What is my point? Wow, where do I start? First, yes you will be invited to the Bub. All ladies and gentlemen, interested in having good clean fun, making new friends, and renewing old friendships, while enjoying a mutual interest in MV motorcycles are invited to my event. Whether you think you fit in is your choice. And yes, you'll live either way. I got that much.....
If you're not trying to belittle my "Bubba Meet", you're doing a dahamn fine job of faking it. Actually, I have asked for others to 'Captain' the track day at Little Talledega from the start. I've got my hands full coordinating the other three days, and I'm dahamn appreciative of the efforts put forth by Elton, Carl, Ed, and others on our behalf. Your comments on an event you've never attended are hurtful and spiteful to more than just me.
As for patting myself on the back, I'll let others, you included, be the judge of that. Either way, I'll live with it. I'll reddily pat myself on the back for making numerous new friends, and having loads of fun. I'm very proud of the Bubbalicious, not because it's my event, but because of the friendships and fun it has spawned.
Finally Josh, and respectfully, you just don't get the point. "Lil Tally" is a great time had by all. It's close to my home. It's cheap for everyone to attend. They treat us great there. It's not about the "track". It's about the people and the fun. I wouldn't care where we had the event. Fancy tracks like Road Atlanta and Barber would cost three or four times what we spend at Little Talledega.
I had my tongue firmly in cheek when I compared Little Talledega to Imola. You didn't get that? Do you really think that I'm comparing the two tracks, or even the two events? Really?
As for 'disrespecting' the MV marque by 'cruising around' Little Talledega, I don't know what to say. Last time I checked, it's my motorcycle to do with as I please. Respectfully, who made you the arbiter of what is appropriate useage of all things MV Agusta, and especially of my motorcycles?
Additionally, no one that I am aware of, criticized you for your choice of not attending our track event. I've never ever criticized anyone who chooses not to attend any of our events. Our event cost many of my guests thousands of dollars in travel to attend, and I am grateful for each and every one who chooses to grace us with their attendance. I have always tried to be sensitive to the substantial cost incurred by everyone......including myself.....in attending the Bubbalicious.
Finally, I'll choose why I put on the Bubbalicious, thank you very much. Why? Because Jackie and I are the ones putting on the event. For clarification's sake, I don't do it for the 'love of the brand'. I do it for the love of the people who happen to love the brand. You clearly don't get that. If you don't like my motivation, host your own event, choose your own reasons, and do it your way.
Your comments and criticism of an event you've never attended is duly noted. If I've offended you with my joking around comparing Imola with Little Talledega, I apoligize.
