"The TBR 4 2013 Manifesto"


SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Will this run be easy? In 3 words: Up to you. This blog explains everything we’re doing in great detail, but we are also very adamant in stating that you be self-reliant on this run. How you might ask? Plan ahead. Please DO NOT expect others to do the thinking for you.

Now, we won’t be totally without assistance if something does goes wrong, we will have a A chase truck with a trailer (IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO JOIN IN AS A CHASE TRUCK THAT WOULD BE WELCOMED) along with many cool cats who will chip in and help a brother out.  But again, we don’t want to hear you can’t change out your spark plug because you didn’t bring your socket wrench.....

Plan Ahead, be Self Reliant.

What kinds of bikes are allowed? The Tar Bull Run is open to anyone on any bike. Our personal tastes run toward the kind of bikes and people who frequent Chopcult.com and/or JockeyJournal.com, This means custom motorcycles influenced by the style of the 40’s to the 70’s. That being said, guys on Ducks, Jap sport bikes, full dressers are absolutely cool. If you have a 50-grand chrome abomination, you may feel out of place. If you ride a shitty old Shovel that blows up between Brooksville and Pensacola, you will fit right in. But again, make sure you or your buddies have the tools. Plan ahead and be self reliant.

What about idiots?
Nobody more than me, and those who have helped to organize this ride, wants to have a great time. With that said, we have a long and excellent ride Friday and Saturday and NEED to leave early to enjoy it, (or not, again up to you). Depending on the size of the group we may split up the chase trucks cover two groups if we don’t all stay together (But not hanging out at the camp waiting for others to get up).

How much is it going to cost? That depends on you. We aren’t charging for shit. AGAIN, Camping is $15 a head.  Food/booze is on you.There are a few places to eat close by or you can buy and bring it back to the campground to eat.

How many people are going? Don’t know 10? 20? Last year we had about 50.  From what I've heard seems we will have a sizable group this year.

I’ve never done this type of ride before?—what should I expect? nothing really, its a boring ride and you shouldn't come.

Our advice:
Be Prepared. Physical preparedness means having everything you need to sustain yourself for the entire trip. Though there will be several gas stops/mini marts along the way (Our Gas Stops), I would carry some type water at least, just in case you get stranded somewhere and TOOLS.

Here’s a minimum list of things you should pack for the ride:
- Really? You should know by now...

 Finally…. 

This is a “loose” schedule, were not tour guides, we just want to get a bunch of like minded people together for a kick ass ride and drink, eat and make some new friends along the way. Just remind yourself that you’re on a different time schedule.

I WILL BE POSTING UPDATES SO CHECK BACK HERE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE RIDE.

If you've still got more questions, feel free to email me (bhead1968@yahoo.com) and ask away.
