I'd had the Crud Run on the calendar too, since I've been a hermit this year to most of you guys. The 'Bolt is in the shop for a warranty replacement stator, I can tell you that these bikes are a pain in the ass to bump start and it takes Ferris's experience to do it right. Can't wait to see the pics! I move into my place Thursday, and we'll for sure do a Mississippi River ride in the Spring along with a bonfire and some brews at the new joint. Prior | ||

...and it takes Ferris's experience to do it right. what it takes is a fat ass (mine!) loading the seat at the right time. FB | ||

Yeah... That's what I meant... | ||

The slimey Crud Run was awesome! Brew City BRAG met up with the Windy City BRAG group in Monona. Bomber led us on some fantastic roads from Pine Bluff to leland. It seems our little group picked up some people along the way that didn't seem to appreciate the little u-turn we needed to make at an unexpected dead end(both mine, and Bombers GPS said the road went thru). There was only one road that kinda sucked. covered with sand in areas. Had a few butt pucker moments on that one : ) Thanks again Bomber! And thanks to the Windy City group. On the way home, a possum decided to sacrifice itself to my S3 : ) You guys all missed out! | ||

I'll post some pics later this evening. | ||

I went deer hunting Glad you guys had good weather for once. | ||
| Bomber |
Dave -- how was the hunting? Great weather for the Crud -- unusual, to say the least -- HUGE darned turnout -- we took a slightly different route that avoided the squids, and only had a lil trash on the road (think of it as character building!) next time, I'm gettin a vest that says "DO NOT FOLLOW ME!" on the back -- there musta been 30 bikes behind me when we hit the dead end . . . . . . | ||
| Road_thing |
Get one of those vests for Higgins, too...  rt | ||
| Purplepeopleeater |
Bomber, I think the dead end was awesome. I know it made me laugh and it also builds character.  Thanks again for leading us from Monona and again from Pine Bluff. I had a really great time. No, I didn't lose my Dad this year.  It was great seeing everyone again. Hope to see everyone again soon. Maybe next time I won't be one of the only Women there.  Toni | ||

CJ and I did went, we got started late and saw lots of peeps (none of who we knew of course) as they were riding away from Leland. But hey we did it! Sorry we missed ya Bomber!  | ||
| Carparts009 |
Too bad we missed you Fiery and CJ. We ran into Heather in Leland. She was wondering if CJ was riding with us and was disappointed when we told her that she wasnt with us. As usual the crud run didnt disappoint. Bomber led us on great routes. Cant wait for the spring. Matt | ||
| Bomber |
Toni -- All in all it was a good time -- most of the strangers that decided to follow us were laughing too (I don't think I've EVER laughed so hard in my helmet) scratch that -- all in all it was an EXCELLENT time ;-} F -- sorry we missed YOU guys too -- | ||
| CJXB |
Well I hate we missed all you guys, but it was a great ride up and the weather was AWESOME, and I hate to say it was kind of nice to sleep in and still do the run, 8:00 AM sheesh !! On another note, we didn't get home until dark, had so much fun riding we didn't notice it was getting later and later !! But we ain't never been scared of the dark, or the rain, or the cold, or even riding a bike into a sand pit during a stupid moment (well one dummy anyway), right fiery !! LOL CJ | ||
| Mxer83 |
Sorry we missed you C.J!!!!!! it was a great time for sure | ||
| Purplepeopleeater |
Fiery and CJ, Sorry we missed you. It's good to know that there were at least a couple more Women out there. Our group only had one besides myself from Monona to Pine Bluff. But hey it was a GREAT Ride. Thanks again to all!!! Toni | ||

Prior is a wimp... Why you ask? Well I rode down to Madison from Appleton Saturday morning. When I got to Madison I discovered that MY STATOR had died. So I pushed started my heavy M2 (extra few punds of bling ha ha) and went on to Pine Bluff. I did skip the ride, but enjoyed talking to a few Buellers before they headed out. By the way, PRIOR IS NOT A WIMP, I was just kidding and it made my story even more fun. Seems we are both suffering from Statoritis. P.S. I mad it back to Appleton on just battery power. I unpluged my headlight and as I was riding I started loosing other devices... Brake lights, speedo, then finally the tach. Final reading on the battery when I got home was 6.5 volts. BIG REGRET OF THE DAY - not being able to ride to Leeland EVEN BIGGER REGRET OF THE DAY - When you want to ride 120 miles home and you know you have to tank up somewhere since you no longer have a trip meter, don't lock your gas tank. After staring at the key I reluctantly turned off the bike and unlocked the cap thinking, "why did I lock that anyway?". It took two pushes to get the bike restarted at that gas station! My bump start average of the day was 3 for 4... Not bad eh? | ||

Prior is a wimp... true, but now he at least knows how to bump start a motorcycle. FB | ||
| Fiery_xb |
Sorry we missed the rest of you guys too Toni! Was Paul and Johnny there (FBI)?  | ||
| Prior |
Had I not taken the frikin thing to the shop, I would have been there. I dropped it off Friday and got Ralph's email about the crud run when I got back to work. I have the Cyclone in the garage too, but it wasn't registered or plated, and really didn't want to run that risk... But, they're both legal now, so I have backup. And I am a wimp. Never had to bump start the Buell before, but now I know what it takes- Gentleman Jim and a liquor store. | ||

There is a DVD available of most of the ride from Pine Bluff to Leland led by the now legendary "Bomber" of the most recent Slimy Crud run. For those that may be interested in purchasing one. Half the proceedes will go the the Windy City BRAG Chapter. The other half to cover production costs. $10 includes shipping. | ||
| Bomber |
this just CAN"T work out well for me ;-} | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Lastcyclone, I'll take one. I'm not in the video(I was always the 'sweeper'), but I'm sure my pink jacketed wife(she was kinda hard to miss ) is in the video, as well as a couple of Brew City members. | ||
| CJXB |
I wanna know will I be seeing bomber from behind during this ride !???  | ||
| Tattoodnscrewd |
Even though I'm sure I could mooch a copy from Steve, I'll take one as well. CJ - in regards to Bomber's backside, there's most likely going to be a few other behinds in the way ... but neither Matt nor I had leather pants on ..  | ||
| Bomber |
hey hey hey, now! CJ -- I am told my backside is my greatest asset! Paul -- sign me up for one, pleaseandthankyou -- I don't have any videos of rides I've been on, and it would make a nice reminder of a great play date in the depths of February | ||
| Carparts009 |
Hey Ill take a video. I was the one hounding you to do something with it so I better get one. Matt | ||
| CJXB |
