Ourdee . . . don;t knock yourself out . . . I have some local folks who can help at well . . . it's no biggie.
SHIRTS: I've been inundated with shirt requests. I ordered, due to the smaller number, far few shirts but that's not a huge problem . . . . as long as the NCAA plays sports my buddy will be making several million a year . . more is easy.
Shirts are going to be distributed to all The Elves and Elflumni . . . then all the rest will be sold that morning at the plant. When we see what's left and who wants what we'll do a "mop up order . . . if ya'll want.
I think the artwork is some of the coolest ink to ever ride around on a Buell shirt . . . . I'm still waiting to see if the AA (Anonymous Artist) is coming out for a bow or if we need to have a "guess the artist" contest.
Looking (and listening) forward to all the Buellers coming into town.
We should all meet up at Erik Buell Racing at a specific time for a group shot (overhead) of all of us that support Erik and the elves. I'm in if there will be a specific time set to go over there. After that, we take over Gus's.
Well, the wheels fell off the cart for me AGAIN!!! A phone call late yesterday afternoon has altered my plans. I've got three perfectly operation Buells in the garage to take on a trip of any duration I choose. But, family matters take precedence. My mother has some things going on that need family attention. I was hoping to postpone it until after Homecoming but that's not going to happen. First and foremost folks FAMILY FIRST. The worst thing one can have in their later life is regrets about things they should have done and didn't. This is one that I'm NOT going to have.
So, bottom line, I'm going to miss Homecoming and the S2 gathering in July (another conflict of a different sort..). Court, Matt is going to snag a XL shirt for me if he can. Any way you can earmark one for me? I'll shoot you a check or a paypal, what every you need.
>>>My mother has some things going on that need family attention.
Our thoughts will be with you and your Mom . . . Good Lord . . for all the support and direction you've provided over the years . . You've accrued tons of "Elf Credits"
I don't need to tell you that there will be plenty of folks making fun of you . . . you are perhaps the favored "Absentee Target" in Buell history . . . but, then you set yourself up for that. If you are as grown up as Carl you would have avoided a lot of this.
Have fun, we'll get you fixed up and Vickie and I will miss you.
I plan on leading some rides on Thursday. Maybe a hour each, great local roads. Would like to keep it under 15 bikes each ride so we don't lose anybody... Guses for lunch or dinner? Romas could be good for dinner. No matter what, we will have a good time. I have a bike lift and all the tools needed if anybody need help,no charge B.T.W. Brian
