Ok, I will be there tomorrow around 8:30 - 9am. Im coming from Lake Villa, IL if someone wants to meet up and go to EBR together let me know! I've never been to a HC so this will be fun and to be around Buells again will be even better! |

EBR Staff took pictures of the group. I don't know who you would talk to for getting them to post on here. The plant tour was fantastic! Great seeing so many happy employees back building an American Sportbike again! Erik stepped outside and spoke to the group for an extended time answering all the questions asked. I got my picture taken with the new 1190RX and now I want one, dammit! I knew I shouldn't have went there today! lol |

One more comment: THANKS to all the EBR staff (160 now) for their hospitality they showed today! That company is really starting to rock! I already can't wait till next year. They may be on a whole new facility by then with their growth! |

People have been posting lots of pics to Facebook, including a video of Erik talking about the power curve on the 1190RX. |

Making me homecoming sick. Mother n law had roof redone and stuff got stolen out of the attic. I spent the evening doing inventory, talking to the roofing company owner and facilitating a pow wow between him and a local LEO. Rehearsal today. Really need pictures. Anyone get a peek at the AXt? |

How cool is it to have a homecoming with new EBR bikes in front of a running EBR building! |

what's the facebook page? I think the pics I've seen on FB have just been posted by various Badwebbers I'm "friends" with to their personal timelines. It would be good to consolidate them in one location. |

I got home by noon today, left at 5:20 this morning. The people that couldn't make it missed a great home coming. Some one asked how many people would be there, it doesn't matter. There could be 5 or 500 you will have a great time and come back year after year, even if you don't have a Buell any more. It's the quality of the people that makes such a great home coming not the quantity. For the people that were at home coming but didn't make it to Screamer open garage you missed seeing a lot of Buell history and future Buell history. Good luck with the land speed runs. You have to put Buell/EBR home coming on your list of "things to do". Every year I say that was the best home coming and I sure I'll say it again next year. I'm really happy that EBR has made time to embrace us coming and show us Buell is still alive. Thank you to all the locals that bring us into there homes and treat us like one of the family. Matt |

Great pics! This was the best Homecoming in my tenure. Seeing the regulars and meeting all of our new EBR friends made it so. And to all my "mechanics", you are what makes the Buell community and Homecoming, in particular...personal . You guys knew what needed to be done to get me out again. And Doris' suggestion that I lay the parts out next to each bike must have inspired you as well. You guys are the best Doris told me to tell you that she misses you Looking forward to next year. I promise all bikes will be road worthy By the way, Doris and I just got back from the Delafield Brew Haus. Had to buy her dinner to ensure I get my love too! When we pulled up, there were two Firebolts in the parking lot. Found the Buellers inside and have invited them to breakfast next year! We love you. Thanks for letting us share what we have with you |

Here is to HC2015. Thank you everybody. Pre-HC was pretty good as well. If Erik had seen the TW200 leading the ride he would shook his head. I thank everyone for making me still feel welcome. It was good to see ya. I now have a new daughter. The hitching went great. |

>>>If Erik had seen the TW200 Of course . . . he'd know it was not the first Buell ride led by a TW200. |

I'd really love for '15 NOT to be the weekend after Memorial Day if at all possible. It's our company open house weekend every year...and it keeps me from coming to HC It's bittersweet - I love hearing how much fun folks had...but I'm sad I couldn't be there to share! |

Joe, A sponsor for 2015 has not been lined up yet. As sponsor, promoter, and organizer; you could determine with a lot of coordination 2015s date and activities. |

Nor has there ever been a sponsor . . . . |

This year's Homecoming was great just to tour the factory and once again seeing an American made sports motorcycle rolling of the assembly line. That place amazes me every time in see it! From what I saw there last Thursday, I feel that motorcycle company is just about ready to take off and if they introduce two more models yet this year like everyone is talking about, my guess is that they will be in a much larger factory next year. Erik was excited and I can see why because he's got a great product being built and it won't be long before the whole motorcycle industry notices it! |
