Just a few concerns from me for whatever it is worth.

Do we really want to be inside the Ace Corner as the official presence of DTT? I may be reading into it a little too much, but that means that people who are not affiliated with us are going to have to pay to be exposed to Do The Ton. It also means that in order to park and chill with your fellow DTTers then you're going to have to buy an ace corner pass to do out on a daily basis. I know that some members here do not want to buy the ace pass for the entire weekend, so that may create an issue.

I'll be honest with you. I am not a fan of a paid pass for ace corner at all. I buy them because I want to participate in the content, but my mind isn't committed to the custom vintage bike scene being a completely "for profit" concept. It has always been about the community and companionship to me, and to me it is against everything that George Barber stands for when he created the motorsports park. It doesn't make sense to me even from a profit standpoint to make a paid entry location simply because as a vendor you aren't able to sell your product to as large a number of people as you normally would. This of course is beside the point. The concern here is whether the official DTT presence should be accessed only by people who pay to participate exclusively. Again, I may be reading into this too much, but that seems a little off to me.

I with Kiley on this one. If I buy an Ace Corner ticket at all this year it'll only be for one day. That being said, if DTT has an official presence I am more than willing to help out.

Tim, I believe my brother-in-law is bringing his wife this year and I'm trying to talk my girl friend into coming with me so have no fear, your better half won't be the only one there.

Tim, if there's any way that dtt could be set up this year the way it was supposed to be last year, then I'm totally on board to help in any way I can. Ill even try to help if its a cluster like last year, but Jenn and I were only planning on being in the ace area one day (because its just not worth it).

However, if you decide to just do the family thing, I'm sure it'd be fun for everyone,, and that's what this is all about, right? Low stress, just a good time for everyone. Its easy to lose that in the big show sometimes. We all enjoyed the dtt part last year, and would love to see it again, but at the same time I have to question if its worth it to pimp ourselves to the show and add stress to everyone (especially you).

I would love to see an environment like Barber 2011 return to Ducati hill. but im afraid that was a one hit wonder that year as far as the sense of welcomeness and personal interaction goes. If we can have an official presence there with out getting tossed under the bus like last year, I'm all in for it, and if we get tossed under anyways,, im all in for dtt still. Im in it for us, not dime city, not ace, or even barber. I love being there and enjoying all the festival has to offer, but dtt is family to Jenn and I.

Well said there E.
 
I'm trying to talk my wife into coming too! We have four critters starting at six months up to age 11 almost 12 by that time. And they get wore out walking around looking at motorcycles all day I'm just sitting there drooling over stuff & they are like,.".COME ON DAD!!??"
 
Well if you haven't seen pics of the museum yet, just Google a few and that should convince anyone to come along. Loads for them to see.
 
Oh , I know, I've been to the festival and the barbers and my kids like it up to a point ,but I like it so much more!!!
 
Ok, so last year was my first year at Barber in several, so not sure about the "under the bus" thing. I was busy teaching my gal to ride long distance treks and deal with that adversity at the time! This year, we are going to be schedin much more time so we can also visit the swap meet, tour the track, hit the museum. There is much to see in the joint.

Were we supposed to be inside the tunnel with the rest of the folks, instead of outside gearchecking and minding tbe store? Yez, being inside would certainly be better, and also limiting the inside traffic to vintage and cafe machines. Lets get it to where we can be a part of the scene rather than a footnote!
 
OK, so catching up a bit. I think you guys got it right. Let the for profit folks be in the corner, and let us be out in the clear before the ticket takers. If we have that area down from the road to the tunnel for DTT, that would be ideal. I'd also likely only buy a one-day pass to the corner, hit the swap meet one day, and the museum another.
 
I'm cool with whatever happens,just can't wait to come hang out with everyone again!!
 
This will be my first year at barber and I am really excited to put faces to the names I have been chatting with on here. I don't really know what to expect but I am happy to help out any way that I can Tim.

Well irony, I live in Mount Olive I just thought Gardendale was more general, Because most people dunno of Mount Olive. Do you have any spare parts such as specifically a set of gauges tach/speedo, 469 through 77-ish CB 750 K I think cb550 would work as well?
