Author Message   Steve_mackay Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 02:10 am:        I'd offer a couch to sleep on. But my place is pretty full with Diablobrian, No_Rice and hopefully Brian's brother staying here with us. But if any of ya are here after the weekend, I've got the 1st half of the next week off. With 'trackpop' and no_rice stickin' around for the June 10th trackday at Blackhawk, we're gonna hit up a kettle ride, and a holy hill ride. Basically many of the same roads those of you that did the "Adventure" ride last year with Flick on the 4th. Here are a couple of the rides we'll do... http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner /share/101406 http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.com/rideplanner /share/101760   F_skinner Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 08:15 am:        X1, I wish I was that good that I could tell you a time I will be there. My method of long distance bike travel under a time constraint is pretty simple; Do as many miles I can the fist day. I will bring the laptop so I can post where I will be after that first day. Then I will have an approximate time. It will be nice to ride with a few people. It does not look like anyone else from Colorado is making the trek this year.   X1_ Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 10:49 pm:        Sounds good Frank, I think we are going to go hit the only twistys we have in IL over by Ottawa for a bit on the way up. So it could be possible to meet up in Rockford or something we will see I need to touch base with Geforce and see when he is going to be headed this way.   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 08:12 am:        X1_ Now that sounds like a plan. We will see how this unfolds. Frank   Ryano Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 01:29 pm:        Ok, finally here is the skinny on what will be going on here at Hal's. I know it's late, but i wanted confirmed times before i posted it. This will be a grand opening for our newly constructed Buell showroom. Hal's Homecoming events \hal4\user\ryan.oettinger\SMALLBUELLflyer.pdf (101.7 k)   Bikertrash05 Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 02:31 pm:        I am THERE!   Buellinachinashop Posted on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 06:21 pm:        Ryan, You guys deserve a big "Thanks". Hal's has really stepped up for this. OK......I need a count on who wants to hit the museum on Thursday afternoon BEFORE bike night. We'd leave Hal's either thusday morning or afternoon...whichever you guys would like to do. There's been interest in going early so we could get back to Hal's for the ride and meet and greet.   Rpm4x4 Posted on Monday, May 25, 2009 - 10:08 pm:        Im up for thursday afternoon run to the museum. I should be in town around noon.   Feinstei Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 10:31 am:        JoeRock (2002 Buell Cyclone) and I (2009 Harley XR1200) will be there for the Thursday afternoon trip to the museum. Fred E.   Buellhusker Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 05:39 pm:        F_Skinner I will be traveling from Eastern Nebraska on Thursday the 4th making it a one day trip up to Homecoming. Not sure of the route but I have several in the GPS ready to go I80 -Hwy 30 - Hwy 20. Give me a call if you want to hook up on your way thru. 402-564-7794.   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 08:04 pm:        I'm in.   F_skinner Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 08:32 pm:        Buellhusker, Hey that sounds like a plan. I just checked google and your about half way. I had actually planned on making Des Moines the first day but l have not done more than a 500 mile day in many years. I will keep your number with me and will give you a call when I stop for the night. I was not looking forward to riding the whole distance alone. Frank 719-200-4957   Crusty Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 09:08 pm:        I'll be there at Hal's on Thursday morning in time to ride to the Museum.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 09:50 am:        Way to Go Crusty! We'll see who's all there, but by the time we get done with the museum, there may be time to hit an authentic Mexican place really close to it. I'm stoked.   Fiery_xb Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 10:16 am:        I know everyone will probably go to the Bike Night at the Harley Museum. But, if anyone is interested (maybe after). There's the Harley Shootout (Buell's included) at Great Lakes Dragaway, Thursday night also. Gates open at 5pm, Races start around 8. till 10:00. Hopefully it won't rain again this year. Just thought I'd mention it.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 02:18 pm:        Has anybody planned on lunch at the Factory?? I could bring my truck with a grill and maybe a turkey cooker? Thoughts?   Lastcyclone Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 02:23 pm:        Lunch would be great, I had inquired about it being offered there, but it does not seem to be included in this year's offering.   Court Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 04:03 pm:        In addition there are some downright DANDY places, plenty of them, within a 3 minute ride of the factory. I've got my fingers crossed hoping they DON'T have lunch . . . but then East Troy is the one chance I get to eat great Mexican food. Trust me . . . anyone who serves you "Mexican" food in New York City is NOT your friend!   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 04:13 pm:        Nancy a little bird told me you did pretty good last week??? Good for you!!!   Fiery_xb Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 09:40 pm:        Thanks Dana, I appreciate that. : )   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 10:18 pm:        ..... are you heading out to the factory that friday???   Buellroadracer Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 10:40 pm:        If anyone needs a ride or transportation for a bike...please let me know. I am from the Baltimore area and have room in my truck and trailer. We are leaving for Road America on tuesday night. Our team will be racing in the AMA Moto-GT race on saturday and will be heading home on saturday night. Help out with some fuel expenses, that is all we ask. Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 05:12 am:        Dana, I'm trying to remember from my last trip to Homecoming. Are you the guy who owns the bar? Is anything going on there that weekend?   Fiery_xb Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 10:04 am:        I don't know yet Dana.   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 04:31 pm:        Nothing going on at the bar this year. Nancy.... maybe see ya there. It'll be the only part Andrea and I are taking part in. After that we are up to Elkhart.   Whatever Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 07:42 pm:        What is the main hotel people are staying at and are there any more rooms?   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 07:58 pm:        I think people will be spread out this year but many are staying here: http://www.wisconsin-hotels.org/cities/East-Troy/h otel/68803/ And some of us are camping here:http://countryviewcamp.com/index.html   Court Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 08:14 pm:        Holy guacamole . . . . it's Charlotte! Too cool!   X1_ Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 08:35 pm:        I popped smoke on the country inn and moved to the Sleep Inn in Mukwonago. Its only 69$ a nite with the military discount. I know Geforce and his buddy and girl are staying here also.   Geforce Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 11:35 pm:        I have drafted a complete schedule, well mostly... and a route. Lemme see if I can put them on here now. If anyone is traveling on this route for Thursday please let me know so maybe we can all meet somewhere and sync our timelines to make a huge convoy. As it stands I will have 4 Buells in our convoy. Three from the start and X1 is jumping in at Bloomington, IL... If anyone sees anything I should add to my newbie homecoming events please let me know! I want to try and do as much as possible. I don't HAVE to leave on Monday... it's my b-day too. But I don't know if anything is going on Monday. Thanks! (Message edited by Geforce on May 29, 2009)
