That is encouraging news Irish Ago. But I certainly never had any doubts that if given the chance, you would run very respectably on the big bad Buell. In fact I'm sure there will be a few superbike racers who will be much startled as you roar past them, home field advantage is only a good thing.  Bomber, Hmmm.... aliases you say? Do tell there Bomber aka "Peter Egan." Yes, it's beyond refuting now as you've been depicted in the most recent issue of Cycle World without the beard, so your little "I can't be Peter Egan since I don't have the beard anymore" ruse is busted. ![: ]](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/proud.gif) Court, Those early morning overseas calls can be challenging. It takes me a good minute or two just to calibrate my ear to the melodious foreign accent. Remind me to tell you about the early morning meeting I once had with a Scotsman on the Sedco/Forex drilling rig in the Persian Gulf. I wouldn't be surprised if on that morning the words "Oy am speakin' bloody English" were heard to echo across the entire Persian Gulf. | ||

OK, how about I can't be Peter Egan cuz I don't onw any Ducatis? howz AT work ;-} | ||

In case folks might have missed it in Dave's post instigating this thread... One of the best and most effective ways we can help right now is to help ensure that the Irish Ago racing Buell is approved for entry in the IOM Senior TT and the best way we can all help do that at this point is to post some enthusiastic, encouraging and supportive words to the following boards that Dave listed above and also to the guest book for Kevin (Irish Ago) Murphy's web site. http://www.ttwebsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5368 http://www.iomtt.com/forums/thread/70291.aspx http://www.paddockgossip.com/ I registered on www.ttwebsite.com yesterday afternoon but have yet to be approved for participation on the site. Posted to the www.iomtt.com board. Looks like some decent interest there. We need more from BadWeB! Come on folks! It only takes a minute.  Will post to the www.paddockgossip.com board asap. Go Irish Ago Racing! (Message edited by Blake on March 22, 2007) | ||

Bomber, Says you. And Egan says he doesn't own a Buell. How convenient.  | ||
| Davegess |
Blake you are being disingenuous and inconsistent in your handling of this whole situation. I personally take offense to it. There are people doing things that they do well and you are trying to make sure they do not get mentioned on this board. They are not selling anything nor are they promoting any commercial venture. You are letting your ego get in the way of things and then accusing others of doing just that. Knock it off, it is unflattering to you and not helpful | ||
| Blake |
Dave, Please feel free to mention all the names you like. Just please honor my request. You are a good man Dave. I hope you can respect my view on the issue. For me it is 100% valid. (Message edited by blake on March 23, 2007) | ||

I make no apology for my comments toward Buell and HD companies. What I said is my belief. I do however apologise to you Dave. It seems my assumptions on who your friends are in this matter, I was wrong. So yes, sorry. Rocket | ||
| Firemanjim |
Geez,Blake.just let the effort take place without all the darn editorializing for once.I can see no effort to promote a commercial venture here---I really see this as an alienation of alot of Buell enthusiasts for reasons that remain unclear to me. | ||
| Madduck |
Bleke, My totally biased and probably wrong-headedness begs to disagree. I think Court not returning calls and e-mails is more an honor as he mainly trys to help the truely needy with his limited time. You would never pass muster as someone who really needs "helping". My guess is that he knows you will understand where other may not. Either way this internet thing is only one of many irons in the fire. Take care and lighten up a little, we are all gettin to the age where we might not be here tomorrow. Live tomorrow without regretting yesterday. | ||

Time to go to the BORG? | ||
| Court |
The most important thing people can do at this point is to hit the IOM chat forums and talk up the entry. During the phone conference the "swell of interest" was mentioned about 9 times. | ||
| Aeholton |
Time to go to the BORG? There is equal drama there (just of a different type). It's time to lay aside all this petty BS and band together, focusing on the cause. That would be doing anything we can to help get Irish Ago's entry for the Buell in the TT Senior accepted. Furthermore when and if it is accepted, support his racing effort in anyway we can! | ||
| Rocketman |
Then any help offered by BadWeBers should be recognised as such. Not in any other name, team or business association. If that's the case they should go it alone in their own name and leave BadWeBers to be BadWeBers, and as usual BadWeBers will step up to the plate massively like has always been the case. Except this time BadWeBs efforts should not be plagiarized, as has been the case several times before. Rocket | ||
| Aeholton |
Then any help offered by BadWeBers should be recognised as such. There in lies the problem. The only one getting "recognition" should be Team Irish Ago. Just help the guy! You can sort out the petty who helped most and how, after the fact! | ||
| Court |
Rocket: Great idea. Here is your chance to rise beyond yourself and do something more than talk, stand in judgment of or criticize others. Balls in your court . . . you are now in charge. Go get'em and let me know when you get the shirts and hats made, I'd like to buy some. Court | ||
| Blake |
How about we get all the Buell groups we can, all those in the Storm Fronts and all the others on the Buell.com Owners site to post up group photos of themselves holding a big sign that says 2007 Isle of Man Senior TT Go Team Irish Ago Racing! | ||
| Blake |
Sometimes the internet does indeed produce gems of truth... "The most important thing people can do at this point is to hit the IOM chat forums and talk up the entry." "The only one getting "recognition" should be Team Irish Ago." It might also help to get the word out here on BadWeB on some of the other areas of the forum. That, and I'll put up a banner. Any ideas as to where it should link, to this page with the pertinent information listed up top (I'll add that immediately), or Kevin's www.irishagoracing.info page? Kevin's page would seem to be the most obvious; maybe he can put up a "Let The Buell Race" page with information like we have discussed here, absent the arguing of course.  2007 Isle of Man Senior TT Go Team Irish Ago Racing! | ||

Hi Guys its Irish ago here im dismayed at some of the posts on here. This effort at TT 2007 to race a Buell in the Senior Race of the most historic motorcycle Races on the Planet is being backed by a great number of people on all sides of the World. As far a field as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, United States, Uk, Ireland and the Isle of Man and without this support this effort would never have gotten off the ground or this far without this support we are all here for one thing to see the Buells Adventures on the greatest Race track in the world in the hands of Irish Ago of Irish Ago Racing its a case of we race we ride we understand so Buell + Irish Ago = Senior TT 2007 fingers crossed .. all the best one and all will catch up soon feel free to visit my website......   | ||
| Court |
Blake: That is a EXCELLENT idea and that, for about the next 7 days (decisions will be made a week from today) would be the single most important contribution we can be making at this time. Court | ||

I signed the guest book at Team Irish. And, I will go to IOM forums and add a little fuell to the flames.  Let's get the Buell in the Race! PSThis thread prompted me to do some exploring, here, there, and the other place I didn't know about. You know what I decided? The Internet sucks, and I don't have the time or energy for it.  I'm going riding. | ||
| Pammy |
I have pre-ordered my "GO IRISH AGO RACING" T-shirt from badweb...you guys better get with the program if you want to be in the pictures! | ||

Wow! Irish Ago RAcing website has exceeded its data transfer limit! NOT frustrating, it means there's LOTS of interest | ||

I spoke to Kevin "IrishAgo" this morning and I've got to tell you . . . the guy is the living embodiment of the types of things that are good about Buells and motorcycles in general. He's a local legend. Everyone in the area knows and thinks highly of him. I am so excited about this working! He indicated that the recent traffic on his website has exceeded anything he's ever seen. Overload his and let's stir the interest. I'm nominating our very own PAMMY as the shirt model this year! This is quite cool! | ||

2007 Isle of Man Senior TT Go Irish Ago Racing! | ||
| Bomber |
I'd buy, and wear, a shirt! I'd buy, but prolly not wear, a hat (proud that I still got most of my hair -- why cover it up? me and Egan gotta show off, doncha know!) | ||

Hello Again Lady,s and Gent,s Irish Ago here, I had a good chat with Court this morning must have been very early over there but it was good to finally talk and hear the voice on the line. It was very constructive and hope things come good within the next 10 days. Will keep you posted on that front. Im uploading a picture of our TT T-Shirts which are being sold in partnership with the Joey Dunlop Foundation and proceeds to be shared between us. The JDF is a registered Charity over here so it only seems fair we give something back. Joey Dunlop was the most Successfull TT Racer of all time winning 26 TT Races in as many years. He Died doing what he loved Racing in Estonia on the 2nd of July 2000 3 weeks after notching up another 3 wins at the TT Races. He is sadly missed by all with in our sport. Well just thought id let you know what the Team are up to. Oh by the way who,s Pammy i just wanted to say hello......to her... But lets get back to the Racing all the best Irish Ago.... P.S. Tried to upload a photo of our T-Shirts for TT 2007 but with no luck as i dont know how to resize picture will e mail it to Blake...cheers Irish Ago... | ||
