Default THE GMB II PURE AWESOME

Well once again I had a truely great time. I met some old friends and met some new friends. Motorcyle(dirt)riders have got to be the greatest people in the world. I think we had over 160 something bikes that raced this weekend. We had over 28 in the TT class. There was even some guys who joined in that wasn't even signed up! COOL!!!!!! iT WAS A BLAST. For those of you who didn't come, you missed it big time. I can't do it justice by telling you how much fun I had. My brother(Bryan) has fell in love with Splendora. He said that everybody felt like family right from the start.
I got two surprizes also. Texas twister....what can I say. He is truely a great guy. I assumed he was about 45 or 50,over wt some. WRONG! He is about 6'1 135 soaking wet! Looks like Kevin Windem. Then came YardPRO..............ol my gosh!!!!!!!!Dude! Surf's up!!! Hang ten! Bra!TOTALLY, 4-SURE!Wipe out! KILLER! STOKED!NARLEY!I was shocked. He is the picture perfect example of a surfer. Loved him right off the bat. Have you ever had one of those guys that you loved to listen too. Thats him. Great person also, bra. Yardpro can really ride to. He ain't no high flying fat guy. He is just flying high....no high flying, dude. He can really ride good. Motoman is a giant! He is a big puppy though. You ever send Clifford the Big red dog? Thats him. Man, can he ride. I was most impressed with is riding. He gave all the whole time on the track. I asked him not to do the triple stepup during the race. He was jumping and pointing at the same time! I would point at a jump, then ride. He can truely ride big time.His name fits him.The HOOTS. Zoothoot worked all day long filming. What a awesome man. Truely the example for us all to become. I was amazed at how much he WORKED!!!!For all of us. Thank you Zoothoot from the bottom of my heart. You did not go unnoticed my friend. IMhoot the example of everything good of what we as men look for in a lady. Hoot jr. looked like he had a blast. Awesome young man. Rode his little tail off and then made some NARLEY dirt tracks on the ground. Baby Hoot was just about one of the prettest babys Ive ever seen. For 3 days never made a peep. Always just smiling.
I'll tell more later , Im tired

Later

Macho hit the nail on the head. If you missed it... You missed OUT. What a great time. I cannot wait until next year.

Same here. I have to say that as I was flagging the first half of the races, Macho would come past me and I could here him yelling and giggleing. I even heard him giggle once when he was about 100 yds from me through the woops. Everyone had a blast! During the TT race, Macho's brother and I were swapping back and forth and I was smiling the while time. Man that was fun! We got ripped off a lap because the fast guys lapped us on lap 3. They went buy me so fast I almost stepped off my bike to see if the chain had fallen off. I was in 3rd gear pinned! Therapture from TT and #101 (forgot his name) from TT flew by us like we were sitting still.

Yardpro was like Macho said. He shocked everyone when we first met him. My first instinct was to yell out "Whoah, it's Spicolli! Knarley dude." He was a great guy and very smart! Motoman was the kind of guy you want on your team when playing football. He is built like a linebacker and is strong as an ox. He can also ride that 450 like it was meant. He flew over the triple i was flagging and pointed at me the whole way.

Zoohoot was the first person I saw when I checked in the hotel and knew it was him from his picture that was posted last week by Dirtbikendad. Super nice and my hat is off to him and his wife for their long trip just to hang out, ride and film. Ima raced in the womens class and I could tell she was having a blast! Baby hoot was the quietest baby I ever saw. She cried once that I know of and that was because her bottle slipped out... I cry when that happens too. I am so glad to have been a part of this event and I hope even more can make it next year because it will give you memories for a lifetime.

Oh yeah, we all got to meet blitz too and he is much quieter than when he posts here but a fine young man! Glad to hear that your mother is doing well, Rob!

I'm going back to bed now so I will get off my soap box and let someone else take over.

Keith

Dont worry MACHO, i still like ya man, hope you and your brother made it home okay and all went well. Meeting guys like you are what riding and having a blast is all about, hope we can get together and do some ridin again. Just remember i still have the power to bring that hemroid cushion for ya next time if ya need it.. But after seeing how you ride,,,you dont need it. A person with flared up roids would be much slower.. LOOL

WOW we had some fast dudes in the Thumpertalk class this year - I did a no-brainer Don Garlits style off the concrete pad and was mid pack in turn one and got more roost than I can remember! haha

Nice to see all you fellas at the race and thanks for making time to be there as I know many of you traveled FAR. It was an honor to race with you guys again.

I would have been at the back of the pack but I would have loved to meet everyone. I know that most of us dirtbikers are really great people I enjoy meeting them. I am always amazed at the dirtbiking community and how nice and helpful everyone is. Never being selfish and lending a hand whenever needed and not being asked. If those people are anything like Woody_CRF and Bates68_03CRF (which it sounds like they were) they are the best and thats who I want to hang with! I am glad you all had fun I really would like to have met Mike and his family just to shake his hand and tell them I am so proud they have channeled their loss into such a great thing as the GMB foundation . I look forward to meeting all of the folks I will meet at the SLC ride in April and to be able to see Bates and Woody again.

Not sure what the real results were but me being the nice guy I am, I waved everyone on after we stopped before the triple to let Mr. berg by and waved everyone on which put me dead last. Yanno what? I don't care because I had FUN!

Therapture and #101 (forgot his name) tied for second place after Mr. berg
