There were a bunch of Buell's there, including Walt Sipp's. He is sponsored by Blue Springs HD. He is getting an XBRR soon. (Sam, this bike sounds like yours. It has the Besin exhaust!)  And another Buell racer from St. Louis.  | ||

Random Pics... Upgraded Facilities. It is my understanding that the new owners, the City of Topeka and the State of Kansas have all dumped money into this place to get it back up to snuff. All very timely as the track is going on 20 years old. Notice all the new concession stands and race garages.   | ||

Very cool! I'm hitting the track on Sat. I can't wait. Great pics. Did you guys meet a very large and very loud guy named Jim Dominique? He probably rode an SV650 or a GSXR 750. He's a character. | ||

Nice meeting you at HPT Sunday. You really got it together. Didn't realize you are moving to Tulsa. There is a great track about 20 miles east of there in Hallet, OK. | ||

I will be going to the Buell homecoming and Road America. Leaving June 1 and returning June 5th. Due to time constraints, I will be trucking there with bike. If you would like to accompany me and share gas, that would be great. You will need your own transportation, bike, when there. You can go to and from, only from, only to, or be dropped off anywhere in between. If you want Hals to do performance work on your bike, I will drop it off for you, you don't need to be there. Probably can fit two more bikes in truck. | ||

Hey Roger, it was nice meeting you as well and thanks for all the help and advice at HPT...Stick around the Badweb so you can make some of the rides we organize here....Oh and welcome to KCLW Larry | ||
| Kccyclone |
Thanks Lauren, it was a blast and to top it off I think it's the most I've learned on the bike...Definately makin' plans for the next track day....  | ||
| Duff24 |
Yeah I'm definitely planning on going next track day. Was workin in Little Rock, AR all last week and totally forgot about it (plus I was frustrated cause I didn't get to take my scooter). Sounded like a lotta fun, though. Need to get a pair o gloves...maybe some pants if Larry will stop staring at my ass when I put on leather... Link for track schedule: (look for "Heartland Park Motorcycle Track Day") http://www.hpt.com/store/catalog/pdfs/2006_Road_Schedule.pdf Looks like next track day is Wednesday, June 14. | ||
| Duff24 |
It says you get a souvenir DVD for your track day. Are u guys getting them? | ||
| Dtx |
Roger, It was nice meeting you and thanks for showing Larry and I the ropes. We really appreciate it! My folks got a couple of pictures with you in them. Here you go.   Thats you going into the corner first in the second photo. | ||
| Dtx |
Duff, Yes- we will get a DVD of us riding in a few weeks. Going into the corners I saw a guy taking a lot of pictures, so I think we will get a bunch of still shots too. And one last shot of the knee pucks! (I promise!) It was just so damn fun!    | ||
| Dtx |
Roger, I have heard of Hallett and been to their website. Yup...I'll be doing a track day there later this summer. Let me know if you are going. Drake | ||
| Ctyxrnr |
Drake what's the website to hallett? my folks live down in mcallester for now. might have to make a trip to see them and swing by the track. maybe later this summer if i can get finances straight. | ||
| Kccyclone |
Eric it is www.hallettracing.net | ||
| Ctyxrnr |
thanks Larry anyone heading out to Fuel tonight? | ||
| Rhun |
Thanks for the pictures, Drake. Did you talk to someone about the DVDs? I never thought about it until I got home. If they shot any in the first session I hope they included some from the last session. Kind of a before and after.  | ||

I met 2 new Buellers here in Olathe in the last 2 days...One has a new Ulysses and actually rode with us to Ralph Waynes last year on his bagger...and the other has a City-X...and Zeus gave him my number because he is interested in getting his exhaust a little louder...I told them both about KCLW so hopefully they get on the site.. | ||
| Ctyxrnr |
speaking of new Buellers. ran into one last night in harrisonville, 12r kids first bike at the age of 16. has had it for almost a year now and never heard of this sight. told him about it hopefully see him around. gets me psoff that dealers don't mention this website. alot of good people and info. | ||
| Olinxb12r |
Wow 12R at 16! That is one heck of a learner bike. | ||
| Lowflyer |
I met the angry dude that totaled his 12R last month. He walked up to me while I was pumping gas and asked me how I liked my bike. He didn't recognize me as being the 'other customer' who watched him throw a temper tantrum over a busted peg feeler at Gail's just minutes before he thrashed hisself on 150. I know this because he appeared shocked when after he said, "I just totaled my 12R," I said, "Yeah, I know. I left Gail's just a few minutes after you did and saw your bike in the median and you in the cop car." He said he had been having a bad day. I asked him if he was going to buy another one and he said yes. Overall, he seemed much less like the foulmouthed jackass I thought he was at the dealership. I guess you can't judge a person based on only one episode of jackassedness.  | ||

Greetings! I'm new to motorcycles. I had never ridden a motorcycle of any kind until I rode home my brand new '05 XB9SX last June. That was fun... Anyway, I'm a year into this whole thing and loving it. My problem is that I'm a lone wolf as in my buddies don't ride (I think I need new buddies). I'm in the South Overland Park area. Looking forward to meeting up with some of you. Thanks to Zeus and Larry for getting me to this website. Looks like there's plenty to do and much to learn. Looking forward to it!

| Dtx |
Roger, Its just speculation on the DVD and still shots. I thought I overheard that somewhere. Brent, Welcome to the madness! Hope to see you around soon. Drake | ||

Hey Brent, welcome!! Hey I live in Stanley Kansas @ 158th and Metcalf basically. I am not a EVERY day rider, but I do ride somewhat around here when the head of the hut lets me roam. I am the same way, not many of my every day friends ride, just my bad web friends here. They call me "leech" when I'm not around probably, I just want to ride like THEY do every weekend. (freaks) Anyway, just post up on here a couple days in advance and we can hook up! (I just don't check my computer every minute if you know what I mean. Paul} | ||
| S1lightning |
JJ---Tim, a, you guys still alive? | ||
| S1lightning |
Drake, just how long do you have to hold a side grinder on a puck to get it to look that way? hehe God you leaving and all, where will we be getting the pics?? | ||
| Dtx |
HA HA, Paul! Actually it takes about 50 feet of asphalt in a really tight left hander. | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Paul, Naw we haven't died yet, sorry to say. HAHA. Both of us have just been really busy, I try to read the Badweb posts at work through my email but haven't had much time to post up. But hopefully that will change. Brent and Roger, welcome to the board. Hey everyone we need to set a ride up for Saturday maybe a 2 or 300 mile day ride. My butt needs some practice before August. Oh ya Larry sorry but the answer is NO, you can't help break my butt in. Drake when are you going to bring our grinder back, I'll need it if there is going to be an exhaust modified for Brent sometime soon. Don't worry you can borrow it again before your next track day, still wonder what you needed it for? Ok everyone grow some balls tell the boss you are riding on Saturday and that they can have your lazy asses on Sunday. | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Hey Brent did you buy your CityX from Central last year? I remember Z man telling me they sold it but we never met the guy that bought it. |
