I've done enough track days to know doing a track day 500 miles from home on my main mode of transportation isn't a good idea for me.....
It can be down right painful..... LOL But, I wouldn't mind watching. |

Hey Glitch, if you are looking for a cheap place to stay, there is a 98% chance of me bring the pop-up camper down. It will be just me so I will have plenty of room. |

On June 14th, Terri and I will head out. After Homecoming we're heading west; eventually hitting the Pacific Coast. Then we'll turn around han head back towards home. We've been planning this for a while, and it's becoming a reality. Today, I made a few more arrangements. This is going to be GREAT!!! |

Softbags, XB?, 're you getting a new bike????? And Glitch is going to be in Wisconsin????? I'm soooooooo out of touch with things these days. I've got a set of dusty RKA saddlebags down in the basement if someone needs to borrow them. I need to get up to speed, and probably dig the M2 out of the corner and see if it still runs. We've got relatives coming in from out of town that weekend though , bummer (seroiusly, it is a bummer). Livin' vicariously through a 2" screen and riding with my thumbs on the keypad. |

Nwforester I live 30 miles east of Mankato on hwy 60 and I'll be leaving for East Troy on the 17th. If your camping you can setup at my place for free. |

Thanks Mnrider - we cashed in a bunch of free hotel nights and points and grabbed hotels. On the route choice maybe we can just connect with you on the 17th and ride in to East Troy together. I do think we need to stop in LaCrosse for a free lunch though. |

I was planning on going through LaCrosse! Then hwy 33 to Wild Cat mountain. |

Mnrider - A mountain in WI? I guess Hill vs Mountain is all about perspective. CO folks probably laugh at our NW mountains. Sounds like a plan, I will PM the route we had planned. |

I'll be there late Friday night and unfortunately missing the banquet and most likely the concert since I work until about 9pm. Who's going to be still up drinkin', and at what bar will you be at? I plan on leaving right after work to make the 3hr drive via car (oh yeah, I can possibly make it faster if I don't get pulled over)... |

I've spent more time and money getting ready for this trip. Can't wait, but I know my ass will never be the same. Heading east with NWforester, borrowedbike, and xbswede. Judging by the last time we went for a longer trip something crazy will happen. Last time, someone threw up in the fire, among other things!!!! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 483241.html?1251415308 |

Same here - great times ahead! Might have to forgo the fires since we are in hotels most of the way. |
