Ravensmith, if you can' find one at a dealer or Dennis Kirk, etc. I have a clutch cble for a 2001 M2. Nguzzi, you might try the Yahoo SKUNKs (SideKars Up North Klub) list with the Hitchhiker. |

Lou, Ukes, Appleton and Roosters in Sioux City has your cable. None available in Minnesota. |

Lou, If a M2 cable works, I too have a spare! Never even thought if it. Are the XB's the same? Brad |

Sorry but can't make it this weekend, too much other stuff going on. But I think I'll go to homecoming. What are the plans for that? Who's going? When? I'd rather not take Friday off but that's when the factory tours are and it would be really cool to see! Registration is required but free....but track tickets cost $28. And, I'm officially signed up for July 17 at BIR. If anyone else wants to go that would be fun. I'm not sure which trailer I'll have yet but I may have room for 2 bikes... |

Julio from Mankato said that he'd be taking one of the Mankato HD trailers to Elkhart Lake Thursday afternoon, or so. Julie and I will probably go with him, especially if we can either fix her CB450, or better yet, scrounge up a blast for her to ride. Julie starts her Rider's Edge class next Thursday, May 11th, which is the two year anniversary of my accident. Wow, two years of not being dead. |

Mike I have one you can use if you want. Maybe it will help my karma for forgetting to get Bluzm2's exhaust bracket back to him. (Sorry Brad my memory is running away from the rest of me. It's going into the mail tomorrow.) |

Mike, GREAT to hear from you! I've been wondering where you went! If you are gettin oil in the primary, I have the seal insertion tool. Do you need a place to work on you bike? If so, the Crisis Center is always available. I'll even clear off the lift for you! The primary seal is an easy fix. I have everything you need except the seal and a primary gasket. Drop me a note and we can discuss. bjohnson at usinternet dot com Scott, No big deal as I'v4 not had time to work on it anyway. However, next week is looking good! Brad |

Speaking of the Crisis Center, Brad, Julie's named our garage "Man Land". By the way, she passed her permit test with 32 out of 33 correct, and is ready to start Rider's Edge tomorrow. I'm very proud of her. She says she's very scared of riding on streets, but I have a feeling that not too long from now I'll be working hard to keep up. |

I'll be coming through St. Paul on my way to Rogers on Monday the 22nd. Will be a 300 mile day for me. Don't really know what time I'll get to the cities, I'm taking the scenic route along the Root River (Hwy 16) over to LeCresant and then Hwy 61 up to St. Paul. Was thinking about hitting up Bobs or Betty's when I get there - Could be 1pm, could be 4pm. I'm taking my time.... Anyway, if you see me, wave me down! I'll be on an all black blast, wearing an all black gear and you'll know the bike because it's LOUD. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=20164&post=654565#POS T654565 Check the link above to see the latest pics of my bike. I've been sawing on the tail again. |

To All Hardcore Blasters There is a meet coming up Minnesota on June 24th. It is being organised by FSSNOC (Four Stroke Singles National Owners Club.) Its no big deal, Just meet at Noon at the Backwoods restaurant in Nowthen, MN and have a meal and afterwards maybe an hour or 2 out in the parking lot looking at everyone's bikes. There will be an award for who thumped the furthest to get there. You have to be a member to come ($30 membership fee - and you get a free t-shirt out of the deal), but you can sign up for membership when you get there too... Check out www.FSSNOC.org for details. Look at the latest entry on the "directors page". I just joined up and will be at that event. I guess Terry the Bonneville Blaster has been a member for some time - and he and his bike were mentioned in the last magazine! The t-shirt is cool, and I got a sticker for my bike, a subscription to their quarterly home- brewed magazine (which was a good read), and even a membership card. LOL. If you sign up, tell them you were referred by #4743... I think I might get free stuff. naustin FSSNOC #4743 |

I only go up to Hibbing for three reasons, the fair, Bimbo's and golfing in Pengilly. You are more than welcome to come down here and ride with us. There are a bunch people going to the homecoming. |

Won't be able to make it to Homecoming this year, but will try next year. I'll try to join you folks from down south some time though. |

Ok, everybody that's going to Homecoming, we need to get a plan together. Only two weeks. I'd like to leave Thursday afternoon so that we could get to Road America that night. If anyone else has suggestions, let me know. I also need to know who's staying at the track so that I can make resevations if it's not too late. (Message edited by ravensmith22 on May 20, 2006) |

JenJen, Welcome to the world of Buell addiction! There are lots of us in the area. I'm up in Maple Grove. Up in the archives of this thread, there is a list of BRAG events and rides. They all start at StPaul HD. What was wrong with your Blast? (My daughter has one too.) Brad |

When I got it it had been dropped a few times. It had needed a new intake boot, some missing bolts, a new front blinker and some sanding. Nothing hard to fix. Just annoying. |

Brad, I went ahead and reserved a campsite at Road America. Expensive. $81.00 for the weekend. Good news is that up to six people can stay at each campsite. I propose leaving Thursday afternoon. I'll try to contact Julio from Mankato to see if we can hook up with him and his trailer. Still hoping to get Julie's bike fixed. Still need front brake line(forgot to get that at Sportwheels) and carb gaskets. (Message edited by ravensmith22 on May 24, 2006) |

Been a little busy recently, forgot about next weekend. I'd like to ride over for homecoming but can't leave til Friday, maybe mid-day. Lou, let me know if you'll have space at your campsite for one extra. Is someone driving a car/truck there I could send some crap with (tent, sleeping bag, etc.). Otherwise I'll have to saddle up the hard cases for a heavyweight voyage. I'd also like to go to the races Saturday, what are you guy's plans? Lou/Brad, email me! |

For those not going to the Home Coming. Henry and I are thinking about riding to see the Supermoto races on Sunday the 4th. If you are interested let me know. If anyone is interested in test riding the Uly or any other Buell or Harley, we (SPHD)are having an open house June 3rd. Come for lunch and take a test ride. |

Go to St Paul Harley's website and click on the BRAG symbol. The calender pops up. We will be riding that first weekend in August. Hope to see you then. |
