This will get Dennis and the BUB crew back to work!

I'm making plans to be at BUB or the later event for next year!  I may have my 200+cc Triumph Cub ready to run. What I need is a 125-lb. rider.  Got any suggestions?

I knew APE didn't monkey around!
Wish I could have been there this year.

Next year definitely.

30 years ago, I would have been exactly the guy you need; now I'm probably 135+. Not exactly jockey weight, but I would love to ride a Cub to it's limits, at least in a straight line!! :D
