The Mrs and I want make an open invitation to any of you guys (or girls) coming down for bikeweek to stay at the house. Bring a sleeping bag,etc. We have room in the garage for a handfull of bikes. We have a giant BBQ out back, and I plan on taking some vacation days, so when everyone is done for the day we'd love to sit out by the pool and kill the evening with beer and brats. Nick |

WOW, that really cool. I might be looking for some floor space. I'd really like to see the 200. If the weather cooperates I'm going to ride down from NC. Very Cool! |

No probs at all. We'll try to work out the details as I get a better head count. we've started stocking up on some BBQ items already! Rich, you guys are racing that weekend right? Nick |

I live in Jacksonville. I'd love to hook up with some Buellers in Daytona. If the rumors of a Buell racer in the 200 are true, then we all have to go en masse. Man, imagine the noise a Buell racer would make at full throttle? |

Mike, I know Brankin and I are talking about riding down also. We went last year and had a blast. I was considering doing March Madness instead, but between now and then I will make up my mind. LV thanks allot, something to consider. |

I think a group ride from somwhere, anywhere to the track for the 200 would be an awesome site... and sound! (maybe that is already planned, I am behind more than ahead most times) We guesstimate that we can house a dozen or so for a few days. Just trying to make it easier on some of the folks that either can't or don't want to fork out for the inflated hotel prices of bike week. And, I am sure ...make a few new friends. |

Rubberdown, You can see a whole ton of the Buells at Daytona the first week of March during the Thunderbike races. It's just a week before the 200. If you can make both weekends you'd get double the Buell endorphins. |

Daytona will be a fabulous place to be. I'd like to make the BBQ. The only deal I could get for rooms required 5 nights and I didn't have that time. I'm coming in just for the "Race of a Lifetime" and buzzing back out. Looking forward to seeing the Florida crew again. |

Nick, A couple of the guys and I have been sweating it because we have not been able to find a room, that would be great. We are going down Thursday night or early Friday AM and be there until Sunday. Ken |

That's cool! As we get closer, I will set up a set of directions to the house, and try to get a mailing list set up so we can all coordinate the efforts. We are right off I-4, about 25 minutes or so from the speedway. Looking forward to seeing you here! Nick |

Also... someone please suggest a good night and time for the cookout? For those staying at the house, we can cook out every night, I don't care, but for those like Court that is coming in and having to leave, we need to set it up so they can all come visit. Thanks! |

That would be great Nick! I've been reading/ posting on this board for about 5 years but have only met a handful of BadWebers! I can't wait! Ken |

The race is on Saturday the 11th. Do we want to BBQ that evening atfer the race or Friday the 10th?? suggestions? Looking forward to meeting all of you! I had the pleasure of meeting AlDaytona a few months ago, and some of the guys like M1 when we were living in Vegas. It is always a lot of fun to put a face and real personality behind the online name. |

Nick I normally go to the races on Friday night. If I can help, let me know, I'm just across the road. I-4, that is. |

Nick, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it for 2 weekends, but if there is anyone interested in meeting up the first weekend, I'm game. I also need to see if there is anyone traveling from Orlando Airport to Daytona Speedway on Thurs before the FUSA weekend of races. I am trying to save the $$$ and not get a rental car just to cart me to and from the airport. I have a bike to ride waiting at the track. Thanks, Greg |

Vegas; I'd prefer to have the dinner on Friday evening. I'll have to leave right after the 200 to get back for work, so if you have it on Saturday, I'll have to miss it. I would enjoy meeting you and your wife, as well as all the Buellers from this board that I haven't met yet. However, if everyone else prefers a Saturday night dinner, then maybe I could drop by on Friday and say hello, anyhow. |

Greg... I can pick you up if you don't have anyone to do that already. Our little truck can make that trip by itself we have been there so many times. Just let me know. Crusty: That's cool with me. Lets call it Friday evening! For all I care, we can do it again on Saturday. I'm game. We are both very excited about getting to meet so many from the board. She had a lot of anonymous support from here when she was so sick. Court? Blake? What works for you guys? Jersey: That'll fit in the driveway. We can always park in the grass too. We are planning on having a trailer pad poured, but I don't think we'll have that done in time. Anyway.. yes, it will fit. Rich: are you over in Orange City? |

Vegas, that's more than generous. I'll solidify my plans in the next couple weeks. I think I saw a flight that arrives in Orlando around Noon. If that fits your schedule, Great. It'll be a pleasure to meet you, and I'll throw in a Gatepass for DIS for your trouble. |

Awesome Greg! I'm the boss.. so I can pretty much have the time off when I need it. I have already let everyone know (and so has the other riders that I work with) that we will be scarce during Bikeweek. My cell phone is: 702-300-3248, and you can drop me an email at: vegas_bueller at yahoo dot com |

FTD and I would like to stop by and have a cold-one with you folks. We'll be riding back and forth from Orlando all week long. Just let us know which day and if we can help out. Steve-O |
