MotoAmerica weekend is June 2-4 at Road America and Vintage motorcycle weekend (AHRMA/Rockerbox)is June 9-11. I know we usually pick the week BEFORE the MotoAmerica race weekend at RA, but with EBRs (Pat Mooney) probably running the AHRMA race, Thursday, the 8th is looking good for those of us wanting to watch some racing. Max Flinders races the MotoAmerica series with Tim (Smoke). Max and Tim have run their EBR RX with AHRMA as well and may be racing both weekends (Just a guess by me).

Good chance of a factory tour being set on that Thursday, but as usual, this planning is an EBR/Buell enthusiast-owned, independent event, with coordination of EBR a plus, if it occurs. They're busy building and selling motorcycles! But I know I'm planning on a week in Wisconsin and catching both weekends!

I know folks need to get vacation scheduled, thus the sense of urgency to start getting dates logged onto the calendar. Mark down the 8th for Homecoming, the middle of a Road America motorcycle sandwich!

Hey, Ourdee!! Can we get a countdown started?

Hi Dennis,
I was holding off on starting the count down this year. Hoping that Erik or Kim would ring me up with a date they preferred. (note here: they don't have my phone number) So, let the count down to June 8th begin. I will not count today or the 8th in the count down.

142 days till HC2017

WooHoo

I echo Ourdee's WooHoo! However I won't be able to do the entire sandwich.

Vacation requested! Now the wait begins.

The waiting, is the hardest part - or so I've heard...

No, not yet. I'm going to wait another month or two to see how things develop. I don't have to give much notice, the owner likes me. I'm planning on going to the Iola swap meet in July too. I haven't be to it in at least 10 years.

When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth,
Unlearnèd in the world’s false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
Oh, love’s best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told.
Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

The Sonnet's # is the
days till HC2017



I so enjoy double entendres.
The conveyance of an indelicate meaning.

June 8th is THE day. Plans for a factory tour are in the works. For the sake of continuity, any info I get will be posted on BadWeb and linked elsewhere (Facebook and wherever else others might want to post...and are welcomed to do so!).

Remember: This is Buell/EBR enthusiasts activity, getting together to hang out or...?. Any official factory involvement will be a plus. Last year they did more than expected, given their status and (limited) resources and it was seriously appreciated!

FYI: AHRMA racing will be at Gingerman Raceway the weekend of June 3-4 and Road America June 10-11. Pat Mooney races his EBRs in ARHMA, so if you want to cheer on the home team...

MotoAmerica is at Road America June 9-11. Smoke's team (Max Flinders) races in the Superstock 1000 class in MotoAmerica, and has also raced an RX in AHRMA

Stay tuned!

Ourdee: You DO sound retired!!

OK, I am not retired! HR told me that I have to work 71 more hours this year. I have always sounded retired.

EBR went above and beyond last year. I am truly thankful.

Think we could get a group rate at that place we were at in 2010?
I forget the name but not the good time!

I need some broasted chicken from Gus'.

RA races are the weekend before Home coming.
Hopefully Screamer with have his garage get together. We try to have a sit down dinner but we haven't really done that in the last few years. EBR buying us lunch last year was nice.

AHRMA races at Road America the 9th and 10th. I doubt EBR will be buying lunch this year.
