That's right! We need you to step up and purchase the Banquet Package to make this event one for the ages. If you're planning on attending, why wait? Did you know that we have door prizes? If you purchase the Banquet Package BEFORE December 28th, you'll be entered TWICE for the door prizes!!!!! I happen to know that one of the door prizes is worth over $200!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chances to win the door prizes are INCLUDED with the purchase of the Banquet Package! Why not double your chance??! Erik Buell and his band "THE THUNDERBOLTS" will be playing at the dinner. That's also included in the price! Be it your first time, or 100th time. Meet the man that had the vision to build the bikes we love! Planned Event include: >Banquet, Concert, Autograph Session, local "twistys" rides, Mississippi River Ride, Events at Hal's H-D/Buell, Events in East Troy including a photo at the Town Square". Many other things are in the planning stages and will be listed on the www.buellhomecoming.com site. Seriously folks. This event depends on us selling 150 Banquet Packages before the end of THIS month to make it happen. This truly is a grass roots event planned by your fellow BUELL owners that don't want to see "HOMECOMING" come to an end. Let's show Harley Davidson that they can't hurt a truly loyal and passionate group of riders. LET'S SHOW THE WORLD THAT BUELL STILL LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Rocco, I just reserved a room at the Alpine Valley Resort for June 16,17,and 18th. I sent you an email for your address to send a check for 3 banquet tickets. I asked the lady at the Resort which night the banquet will be and she wasn't sure whether it was to be Thursday night or Friday night. ??? Got to know so that I can adjust the Resort reservation if need be. Thanks. | ||

I will run this past the wife. This is a great idea, but, well, you know how summer schedules can be. Rocketsprink, do you (or anyone else) know if the banquet will be vegetarian friendly? thanks | ||
| Electraglider_1997 |
I understand that they WILL NOT send out Bluto from the kitchen to kick any vegan's butt. I'll have a triple gut bomb to go. (Message edited by electraglider_1997 on December 03, 2009) | ||

Elct97 I'll shoot ypu the address tonite when I get home. The banquet WILL BE Friday June 18. Atoms, there will be veggies and salad, if that helps. | ||

Did the deed for 2 spots today. | ||
| Electraglider_1997 |
Got the address and promptly told the wife to send $105 for the 3 of us. The rest of you pikers had better pony up so this banquet is able to happen. For those of you that haven't made it to a Homecoming, it is pretty darned cool to see all the like minded Buellers all in one place. You get to meet all these guys in the flesh and see the things they have done to their Buells. And of course you get to have your Buell signed by the big kahoona himself, no not me, I'm talking about ERIK. | ||

Maybe I want you to sign my bike EG. Then I'll have the two greatest minds in motorcycling signed on my bike!  EG and EB. | ||
| Electraglider_1997 |
Mnrider, I'll show up with a 5" paint brush and a can of latex. | ||

Here's an Idea: Why not buy a Dinner Reservation for somebody as a Christmas Present? | ||

I had what looks like a catastrophic power supply failure on the computer hosting our sites this morning. It is a 7 year old dual 1GHZ G4 Macintosh, so go figure. But it gave me no warning whatsoever. I have another Mac(A Mini), that I was eventually going to move everything to anyways. This just speeds up those plans. So the site will be down for a few hours while I get the stuff OFF the Hard drives now. | ||

This will be that last "nag" post you'll get from me. I may bump threads back to the top of a page, but no more nagging from me. I will just add some information as it becomes available. I will just write a few things now in hopes to light a fire under the asses of those that are still undecided or figure they'll wait till the last second, or plan on showing up hoping to get in the Banquet. In order to get into the Banquet/Concert you must purchase the Banquet Package BEFORE the Event. We will not be selling the Packages AT Homecoming. It may sound selfish, but I plan on enjoying Homecoming this coming year. That will not include standing outside the banquet waiting for straggles to come and pay. We WILL have wristbands for and a list of those that have paid. The dinner, bar and concert are for those that have paid. It would not be fair to let people that haven't paid in. Sorry but that's the was it has to be. The main point to getting a date set so early was to give people ample time to get time off work and plan for Homecoming. You can still purchase the Package after the December 28th, but we really need people to step up to make our initial 150, or we will lose everything. ALSO, keep in mind there is a legal holding capacity for the hall. It is more than the 300 dinners we started with as we just needed a starting point for Paypal. However, and I will find out soon what it is, there is a finite number of seats available, and once we hit that number, that's it. You're left out. So long story short: -Get you Banquet Package early!! -BANQUET PACKAGE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT HOMECOMING -No one will be allowed at the Banquet without a wristband -There is a certain number of seat available, once sold out, you're S.O.L. -DON'T MISS THIS EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed last year as I was out of town, and I am still P.O'd. You never know what can/will happen. | ||

104 down, 46 to go | ||
| Fast_eddie_1956 |
What night is the dinner and concert? I imagine its Saturday but want to make sure. | ||
| Rocketsprink |
Actually it's Friday night. We figure some may have to use Saturday as a travel day to return home, so..... (Message edited by rocketsprink on December 10, 2009) | ||
| Fast_eddie_1956 |
I'm glad I asked. I have to work on Friday and was planning on leaving after work. I guess I'll just take Friday off and head up a day earlier. | ||
| Electraglider_1997 |
Just got my Alpine Valley Resort reservation confirmation in the mail today. June 16th through Friday the 19th. | ||
| Cyclonedon |
what is the latest head count on the banquet? inquiry minds want to know! | ||
| Stevewauk |
Hmmm. Looks like the www.buellhomecoming.com site is unresponsive. | ||
| Rocketsprink |
sitting at 115. I'm starting to get worried, Not much time left. sites back up. just slow | ||
| Crusty |
The last count Steve posted was 124 with a few checks in the mail. We're getting close! I guess that Andy and Phil from Precision Engineering are donating a bunch of stuff as well (and they make some great stuff!). It looks like a lot of people will be going home with neat farkles they didn't bring with them. This is going to be the Brightest and Best of all the Homecomings! If anybody is thinking about going, but isn't really sure, I say just do it. It's only a $35.00 gamble (you'll spend more on dinner and a crappy movie). I bought dinners for my wife and myself and I bought a third dinner as a Christmas present for a friend. I honestly believe that there will never be a better Homecoming. This one is going to be the one you'll be talking about 20 years from now. It'll be as Legendary as Woodstock was for Rock music in the '60s. (Message edited by Crusty on December 14, 2009) | ||

I agree Crusty! This will be a great homecoming event.because it's being done by people that.ride and care about the Buell brand motorcycles! Buell riders with a passion for sportbikes. I can't wait! |
