Rocket, Seems like the Alpine Resort could extend the deadline for us. If they don't they end up with nothing, isn't that correct? How could that be a good thing for them? |

Both my wife and I have been Buell owners for a couple of years (she beat me to it, having owned a Blast). I initially ordered a ticket just for myself, but then as we were talking about it, she really wanted to go, so now she's coming with me (although she'll be riding a BMW since we sold the Blast a few years back). I'm really looking forward to this event. I've started planning a route to East Troy. Hopefully folks will have some suggestions as we get closer on nice routes to East Troy. Wayne |

Do I need to send a check or do you have a Paypal account set up yet? |

24 more needed go to www.buellhomecoming.com and purchase through paypal. It's a slow site, so be patient |

Way to go Steve. We hope to see you come JUNE in East Troy. Better East Troy than the Middle East I always say. Now the rest of you Buell riders had better pony up so this Homecoming happens. You won't regret it but will regret it for the rest of your days if you don't. 12 times 35 is only $320. Certainly each of you folks reading this that haven't sent in for tickets can unclench your digits of 35 bucks or better yet for 2 tickets. I bought 3. |

I'm in Omaha and it's pretty much centered between East Troy and Sturgis and we do both each year. Each are different but quite alike also. Sturgis is 95% or more Harley and Milwaukee is right up the road from East Troy and that is where Harleys are made. The new Harley Museum is worth the price of admission and even if you've already been there, no way you saw it all. I'll be going there a again because my wife is coming along this year and she wasn't with me and Sage there last year. Will Summerfest be going on in Milwaukee and will there be a safe place to park the bikes there if we go?? |

Just ordered two tickets. I hope nobody minds if I bring my buddy and his KLR. Now I just have to talk my Platoon SGT into letting me take leave.... |

Electroglider, don't thank me. I just did the web & paypal stuff. Thank Rocco and Dana for getting on my a$$ to get that done as well. Thank Dana and Rocco for getting some absolutely amazing door prizes/giveaways! And thank Blake for letting us spam badweb with all of this stuff. Without badweb, this wouldn't happen. Some of our group(Brewcity Thnuderbikes) has plans to do a bike night like last year at the museum on Thursday, June 17th. I know this event will not be for everyone. But maybe we can get access to the private "archives" that afternoon/evening? |

Mackay, Actually I was referring to Steve McElhenny aka Maximum. But you guys deserve mucho gracias for the time and effort put in to make this 2010 Homecoming a reality. Without yourself, Rocco and Dana this would not be happening. Our winter has really only started but at least I have the Homecoming in June to dream about and look forward to. Thanks. And that Museum bike night sounds like a good time, and we will be up for it. |

Rocco, Should we expect some kind of receipt from your end or maybe a BadWeb listing of all names and number of tickets we will be able to pick up in June at the resort? |

I'd rather not post everyone's name and info. For privacy reasons. |

How about a map with riders locations (voluntary of course)? That way we could do some route planning. Also maybe we could generate a Homecoming specific BRAN? That way if a rider has trouble he can contact riders already on the road. Just some thoughts from the good idea fairy.. |

Itileman, If you are into peace and quiet then Whitewater Lake Recreation Area is just a few miles east of East Troy and my son and I camped there last year. Practically had the state park to ourselves. Very forested. Water and toilets but no showers. My wife will be going this year so we shall be staying at the Alpine Valley Resort. More bucks, but you only live once and can't take it with you. |

Thanks for the camping info. I guess tenting on the lawn of the Playboy Club in Lake Geneva is out (at least according to Mrs. Itileman). |

Map like that? I'm going to email everyone that bought a ticket, asking who want's to be added to the map, and who doesn't. |

Steve. Tried to get in touch with you a few times yesterday. It's important. Paypal needs to be "tweaked" and very soon. I also need the info from you I requested. What's the hold up? |

Steve: I like the map. Looks like Our San Deigo cyclist has the furthest to ride. And we have a little international flare with somebody from the Thunder Bay area. I can't wait to meet some of you. wayne |

The map is a great idea and you can add my information to it. I know I will be going by a couple of badwebber towns in NE and IA. Frank |
