I think some locals have spray painted SLOW DOWN on road before the decreasing radius turn. By the way, I loved the Skyway when I was there last summer. I stopped at a bunch of the overlooks. A great ride with beautiful scenery. | ||

Dealership has the gasket kit I need in stock! I'll be pulling everything apart this evening, then picking up the gaskets and putting everything back together tomorrow evening. Then packing up the bike, and out for a test ride! I'll be grabbing a tube of sealant incase I blow another gasket while I'm down there. | ||

Just saw the weather report for East Tenn, Knoxville area; upper 70's day time, upper 50's at night, 20% chance of rain now through Friday. Upper 60's daytime and low 50's night time 40% Saturday, 20% Sunday. Anyone have an update for the S.E. side of the Smokies? | ||

Question: My 00 cyclone has the carbon fiber air intake.  Is anybody going to Badness that is a sponsor or at least a salesperson that sells replacement filters for this? Maybe that I could paypal (or just bring the cash) and you could bring it to Badness? I've cleaned mine, but it's still quite dirty. | ||

I harassed Stephanie. Thanks for taking care of that for me  Bunny is great, she is one of SM-Buell's finest. She may make it up on Sunday, I hope so. Mike, give SM-Buell a call, Smokescreen is there now. If they have it they'll bring it up Friday, (770) 979-7999 | ||

How's that for service! | ||

For those of us coming for the first time, can you (experienced local guys) tell us what to expect, what is a typical day of March Badness? Any schedule we should plan around? I really hope some of the Southern boys will consider a trip to WI for Homecomming this year. Also an experience you will soon not forget. See you Friday night. | ||

lets see... first you wake up about the time the sun comes up... and shower in the amazing camping facility that TWO provides... it's seriously nice in there... for campgrounds... then you go eat some of the best food GA has to offer... there is a reason you have to wait in line to eat lunch there... then you ride... and ride... and ride... choose a Buell and ride... or take yours to one of the MANY roads which will challenge your riding skills... then lunch, big ass burger is my fav. but depends on what you like... and the best sweet tea in the south... then it's time to ride again... then dinner... then ride till the sun goes down... then sit around the campfire till midnight or later, drinking beer or Liquor, telling stories, with some of the best people this country has to offer... it IS the perfect weekend... then you fall asleep to the sounds of the true outdoors... crickets, a stream, the occasional red neck truck on the highway, and of course the other campers snoring... not naming any names RATYSON! next day, same amazing experience... Its a great time, it's worth every min. and I wish we could do it 10 times a year... I stayed in town an extra month just to go to MBIV before moving back to Texas... Great Food! Amazing People! Perfect Roads! and all while riding America's greatest motorcycle... what more could you ask for? | ||

Schedule = Ride during day, party during night. No shows, no vendors, no itinerary, no problem Buelling and bullshitting is all that is on the agenda. | ||

I am planning on getting there Thursday night so I can catch the ride on friday to the Dragon... I am going to be in ATL tomorrow, TUESDAY, with the trailer, so if anyone needs me to bring anything up they can't fit let me know and I will pick it up Wed. THREE DAYS! THREE FREAKING DAYS!!!  | ||
| Ratyson |
and of course the other campers snoring... not naming any names RATYSON! next day, same amazing experience... HAHA!!! Hey, if I can find an AC outlet to plug into, I have a CPAT machine now... no more snoring. If no AC outlet... WOOOOOO LOOKOUT! I literally laughed my ass off at that one man... LOL! I am glad to know that I am considered as one of the true sounds of the outdoors. Just think of me as a bear deterence device, cause they ain't comin' nowhere near MY snore!!} | ||

Whats up Glitch?! I just got done teaching my first Riders Edge class and I'm happy to say that I didn't cause any untimely deaths among my students. The best thing is everyone passed! I think I may have sold a couple of Buells too. I had a couple of guys from my class looking at my XB12RS and they really liked it. To bad they didn't get to see your XB9SR | ||

Ok RATYSON... I am bringing my truck over with a full tank of gas an a 500 watt power inverter... I will start my truck and leave it runnin all night so you can use that machine of yours... It wasn't just you... There were three of you... and you failed to get into sync... so all freakin night I heard THX quality snoring... This year I am sleeping in my enclosed trailer... that way I have a little bit of sound reflection... I am going to setup my DJ equipment outside your tent and play some snoring sound effects and see how you like it... LOL... just messin around man... it's like camping with pops... sounds of the great outdoors... Glitch... I have been playing hooky from work pretty much the whole month... the Inter Pres told me to take as much time as I needed to pack up and get to Dallas... well I took all of it... YEEE HAAA... somehow I'm still not packed  but my trailer is almost done | ||

Glitch (or anyone else from SM-B), do you still plan on having BadWeb name tags @ MBIV? Or should we make our own? | ||
| Ulywife |
You mean like this...  | ||
| Mikef5000 |
LOL! That's classic! And It's a year later and this guy still sounds pissed about it! | ||
| Duc_htr |
Mikef... not pissed yet... but come friday night when you have to listen to that sh_t all night long, along with the guy who fell off the balcony, coughing like he swallowed his glass pipe... and after you do fall asleep and wake up in a puddle of cold water cuz you realize your tent is no longer water proof... after a late night thunderstorm... then you tell me... would you be pissed? This year I'm bringing my $%)#*in Range ear plugs! and an extra couple of towels! actually I am cracking up while typing this... I really feel bad for the guy sharing the tent with Ratyson... what a way to remember that crazy guy from alabama... and there are more, but those will have to wait... more memories to make NEXT WEEKEND!!! See ya there... | ||

The revised weather outlook is looking pretty good (cept for a good chance of rain at Suches on Sun)!! To the first timers, there are NO planned schedules (cept for the Dragon ride Fri, and Demo rides Sat and Sun). Twin, We should be at the Dragon between 1 and 3, depending upon the route and how many stops we take. What are everyone's thoughts on leaving TWO at 8am?? | ||
| Kdan |
8:00am!? In the morning!?  I was thinking 9:00 was too early. | ||
| Honu |
Will start packing the bike this morning, hope to leave by noon, should arrive Suches by 1-2 PM Thursday. Its about 900 miles from my house to Suches, but I want to take all the back roads there and take my time. Hope to see everyone there.  |
