Thanks Sam. I was just thinking about that after we were talking about those posters last meeting. I will pick it up next time I am in. I will be in Daytona next week so I will miss the meeting. See you when I get back. |

Fellow WCC'rs, Just a reminder that our monthly meeting is this Thursday, March 4th, 7PM, @ IL HD. Plenty of deals from Sam's corner, Speedy's racer update and a Daytona Report. Perhaps we can drop a call to Dana and Mike and get a live report of all that is going on during Bike Week. See you there! Keith K |

Thanks John B! Ya beat me to the update. Wow a great race and a very exciting beginning of the race for Mr. Higbee. I believe on the restart of the 2nd lap Shawn was involved in a crash and one did see the damage on his bike, smashed bodywork etc. I do not know if Shawn used that bike or a backup. Regardless he was waaaaay in the back and made it up to 8th. Despite my best efforts I could only see the Buells on the starting grid in the rear of the back and saw Mike out with Paul but one can "hear" the Buells in the background more than see them. Meeting update, 12 in attendance, welcome Anthony, "Tony" Martin a new WCC'r and welcome back to Mike Brewer with many of the old faithful on hand. Discussion was of Buell Homecoming and the available concert tickets but moments ago the Buell Homecoming website was snafu'ed. Unknown on the status of a trackday during Homecoming and more of the club are pondering a Homecoming appearance. Sam pointed out some the incentives for trading in metric rides for HD/Buell products as well as the large inventory of used bikes on hand. Easter weekend Open House @ IL H/D look for a good time and great values on bikes, parts and accessories. See Vern or Rudy for info on a Golf Outing June 13th, 100$ for the day. Racer's corner pointed out that even the slightest of mishaps can cause deformed valve train components so mind those rev's during missed shifts. Better yet, avoid the missed shifts, yeah right. As always, talk of Slimey Crud Run first weekend in May, MotoGP events, of course Homecoming rides, events besides a Chicago Indoor Racing date possibility for a team Endurance Challenge filled out the evening. The "Burning Man Bus" made a return visit as did the crew to McGaffers for a post meeting bench race/fall strategy ride event session. Want to know MORE? Come on out to the next meeting, Thursday April 1st hmm don't be a "fool" come on out and bring a buddy and be cool! See ya there, Keith K |

Tim, Thanks for the information. I signed up for the track day, Bud Curtis is an excellent source of info and very informed. This should be a great event and perhaps the club can create the raffle for a track day spot to help boost club membership and participation? Just a thought. Congrats to Mike Kirkpatrick and Paul James from James Gang/Hoban Brothers racing for the awesome performance at Daytona! Riding weather is here and let's be safe out there! All the best, Keith K |
