I didn't do much riding yesterday but it was still an interesting day.......... It turns out that before Kutter was in Janesville there was another dealership. Due to the Owner's health they closed up shop, but they didn't dispose of the inventory. My step-dad had told me about this old shop a few years ago. Turns out his friend is buying up the contents of the building. I was there on day 2 of packing and sorting. What I didn't get to see was the 11 brand new 197x bikes that were already loaded in the semi!  Old bikes in different states of condition:  Two more from the shed, an old knucklehead and a aermachi  Unused frames  behind the frames is an HD snow mobile Old motors  A Sprint  Already on the truck  What I didn't see was all of the fenders and tanks that had already been boxed up. As well as the rest of the old parts department. | ||

Hey Kinger! He's got a couple M50's there. I'd be VERY interested in getting my hands on a motor for one. Mine seems to have gotten stuck after sitting where it did for many years. | ||
| Kinger |
Chris, are those the red and white bikes? Lots of good stuff this guy got. Including a 1976 Wide Glide that they uncrated. Some fluids and a battery and it cranked right up! Here is a pic from the races at RA, sort of  | ||
| Kinger |
Heres another. Grace had met Bomber about 15 minutes before this pic. When he sat down, she asked me if she could go sit by him. she talked his ear off!  The rest are here: http://www.brewcitybrag.org/index.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=17 | ||

Hey, Kinger, tell Grace that Dustin says hi. (the little dog she was playing with at the track day) | ||
| Chris_mackay |
Kinger, yes those are the red and white bikes. The ones in the picture are the boys version with a larger tank and the frame that went straight back. They also had a girls version with the backbone attached much lower on the down tube and a smaller tank. That's the one I've got. Regardless, the motor was the same on both. | ||

Hey anyone riding tomorrow? We have a sitter, so we just need to get out there and ride. It doesn't matter where the destination is. I think we should just go and ride. Who's going? When? Toni | ||

Hi CJ, Purplepeopleeater, Steve, Kinger, and all. Any good rides over the weekend? | ||
| Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) |
I rode around town & that was it....hit the lake sunday for a beautiful day of tubing. Im off the bikes for the next week or so due to my little incident with the electric planer this morning..hard to clutch when your hand is wrapped up like a little mummy. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Starting Thursday, I wont be on a bike for 3 weeks. Going to VT on a very well deserved vacation. Maybe I'll break down, and go rent a Road Glide for the weekend, and ride around. VT has some *REALLY* nice roads. | ||
| Kinger |
No riding this weekend. I did ride to work today and take the long way home. I will be trying to set up a ride out of Janesville to go towards Nwe Glarus, Dodgeville, etc. Time will tell if I can get it organized.......... | ||
| Coolice |
Dyna, man take care of that hand!! The house must be comin along ok. Gimme a call sometime. Kinger how bout a ride down to my area, they is some great roads here and we can hook up, I'll show ya around. Steve have a great time on vaca!! | ||
| Kinger |
Mike, could probably due that at some point this summer. It looks like you are about 1.5 hours down the slab from my place. I will definately keep that in mind. Have a good vacation Steve! I will be in Chicago this weekend with a bunch of friends  ! Then off to Vegas for another friends wedding on 7/1!!! | ||

| Steve_mackay |
Actually Dora, we go there EVERY summer. We just didn't know ya then Too bad your bikes aren't still there, I could, ummm, go make sure they were well used for 3 weeks  | ||
| Steve_mackay |
<knock knock> "is this thing on?" Anyways... We went to Bar Harbor, ME Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Nice cool weather     We *NEED* to bring the bikes out here sometime. Dora, ever been thru Dicksville Notch? The looks like a *REALLY* fun ride. | ||
| CJXB |
Nice pics, good to see you guys are having fun !! CJ | ||
| Kinger |
Nice pics! I want to get out to Maine for some riding someday. On another note, off to VEGAS tomorrow. Have a good 4th everyone! | ||
| Steve_mackay |
The road thru Acadia national park would be an AWESOME ride. WOW what a view! And talk about twisty! it wasn't ALL fun and games for Thomas though Thomas on the "time out rock"  and here are a few more pictures.     | ||
| Buellgirlie |
GREAT pics! so thats why my little man thomas wasn't at the meeting at racine h-d - i was wondering where you guys were! nope, never been through dicksville notch. there are sooooo many gorgeous curvy small country roads through there though - it definitely is great riding! i'll be out of town for a few weeks for a trip to italy and greece (graduation present - going with my parents), but will be back in town late july. i've got my XB and Duc here, so lets go riding!!! | ||
| Daves |
Anyone going to Dundee this Sunday? Looks like about 6 Appleton riders will be there. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
I'll send a mass email out to people to see if they are goin' I wont be home till the 14th. Yes, I am having bike withdrawal symptoms. | ||
| Kinger |
Is this thing on??? Back from Vegas (I have actually been back since the 4th). The wedding was interesting, Elvis Chapel and all. Lots of fun, sun and drunken debauchery! Oh yeah, I donated to the casino as well........ It was hot though. 108 when we landed friday, 105 Sat. and 108 again on Sunday. A dry heat definitely is different than hot around here. It is like sitting in an oven!! | ||
| CJXB |
fun, sun and drunken debauchery And here I thought you were such a sweet, nice guy !! Glad you're back and had fun !! I don't miss that kind of heat at all, it was much cooler in April when I went !! CJ | ||
| Kinger |
And here I thought you were such a sweet, nice guy !! Glad you're back and had fun !! I never said that I was the leader of said debauchery. Besides what happens in Vegas..... The heat wasn't too unbearable. We did spend time by the pool both Sat. and Sun. The Ceasar's pool is really nice. | ||
| CJXB |
Besides what happens in Vegas... NEVER happened !!!  | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Hey August 27th I believe is Hal's speed shop open house. Dyno drags, etc... I know it's a ways off, but just warnin' people so we can get a good Buell showin' there. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
And, a few more New England pics. Moose #1 of 12 we saw on Monday evening.  And #2  And see, here's proof that Toni is a tree hugger. Believe it or not, that's a pine tree that is THAT big.  Beaver Brook Falls in NH off hwy145, which btw, is SUCH a nice road. Would certainly be a FUN buell road  Neither of these pics give the falls justice. It's a breathtaking view.  Screw Auger falls in NH  And a couple more from Bar Harbor   And Thomas being pathetic tellin us he "JUST CAN'T WALK!"  | ||
| Kinger |
And Thomas being pathetic telling us he "JUST CAN'T WALK!" Grace tells us that all the time! Steve, I see you rented and Explorer again. We really like ours. The downside, just over 10,000 miles since Jan. That is better than my truck though, I have put 13.5k on that since March! Damn commuting. I was hoping to do some riding this weekend, but we have to go to a family wedding.  It has been 2 weeks since I rode the bike. |
