Know there are a few of us that will be converging on Lexington KY this coming weekend to participate in the Butt Lite rally. Thought I'd go ahead and start a thread for those of you that care to follow along!
The rally blog where the rallymasters will be posting updates is: https://buttliterally.com/
Should you care to go back and take a look at blogs, ride reports and other info from past versions of the Butt Lite you can find that info here: http://www.teamstrange.com/buttlite_archives.htm
Here is the roster of who is in: https://rides.jasonjonas.com/riderList.php?rcid=0&id=499
Once the rally has started the rallymasters will provide the link to the Spotwalla map where you can follow the journeys of the riders...although the actual bonus locations are unlikely to be released until after the rally.
For me, this will be my 2nd rally - I did the VOID (31 hours) a few years ago and have wanted to do something longer - so when I saw the start/finish of BLIX was going to be so close to my home base here in Indy I had to go for it. Fun fact - as I look at who is riding what, my '96 ST1100 is the 2nd oldest bike in the rally with the oldest being a '95 BMW R1100GS. (!)
As far as others on the board who are participating:
I know PlainJay will be riding, although not on his ST1300.
Ken Schleman will be riding 2 up with his wife Linda - he isn't on the board much anymore because he sold me the ST1100 that I'll be riding 10 years ago...and since they live in South Dakota I haven't seen them since my wife and I flew out to ride it home so it will be great to reconnect with them.
There are a few other ST riders on the roster for the rally, but don't recall if they are here on the board (Bob Bowman, George Levar, Lee Miller, Maura Gatensby, Steve Gallant)...
