Good to hear Dave, thanks for the update. I wonder if she's jammin' I90 the whole way. I ran 86E once into NY but wouldn't recommend on a bike, crazy broken pavement everywhere. | ||

Dave, thanks again for setting up such a great weekend! I rolled into Maryville around 9:30pm last night. The bike (and the cheese curds) made the trip without incident. Thanks for your help loading the bike up. Tell Terry thanks too. Dennis, Joe and Mark, thanks for leading us on a great ride Saturday. I'll try to post pictures later today (if I screw it up I'll e-mail them to Computer Todd to post). Thanks again for an unforgettable experience! | ||

Glad you made it back home. Thanks for coming,glad you had a good time! I'm going to ride as far as Madison with Kandie and Bobbie this morning and then I have to get back to work. | ||

Wisconsin is always being razzed for their cheese, but all you first timers to cheese curds grimace at the name, and then grin when first tasting them. I am going to miss good cheese when i move to AZ. Glad to hear everyone had a good time at the event. wish i could be a part of it. from all the input on the board, Dave, I will be coming to you for my new Buell. hopefully in the next couple months... just too bad i could not get in on a promo like this one. | ||

Dave, Thanks for a good time this weekend! Wish I could have hung around for a bit longer, but I had to come home and make sure the puppy was ok. It ended up being a 1200 mile 4 day weekend for me, getting back to work today was a bit difficult. I'd have to say my highlight lunch on Friday was Erik asking if my John Deere plant would be coming out with tracked skidsteers in the upcoming year or so. My response: " I know what WE'RE coming out with, what are YOU coming out with in the next year". That got a laugh out of everyone. Thanks for a great buying experience and a great weekend for all involved. WHEN Buell comes out with another new model, you'll have to set up the same thing and I'll make another trip north.

Alex: You never answered the skid steer question.  Court | ||
| Awprior |
Court, Erik didn't answer either... I should have invited him down for a tour of my factory. Oh well. (Message edited by awprior on April 18, 2005) | ||

Sigh, I use to live in Wisconsin up to about 4 years old. These pics make me wish I still did live there. We lived in Watertown... Nice hilly area... Now, I live in what could be called the flat land. | ||

Note to self: How NOT to end your perfect weekend with your new Buell AND learn a really hard lesson at the same time... The damn beast shook itself off the sidestand after a perfect ride this afternoon! I keep the bike in a storage unit where i have to get off and type in a code to open the gate. I left it running while i punched in the code, got through two numbers and CRUNCH. Son-of-a... Minor damage but I'm so sad this perfect long weekend ended this way. Sigh. Here's the damage list: scratched fork lower, scratched oil cooler shroud, scratched air intake shroud, scratched frame (not dented! woohoo), bent handlebars, broken clutch lever, broken turn signal, broken footpeg, bent shift lever and last but not least, the primary cover is scratched from the shift lever slamming into it. Gulp. I'm hoping the rearset isn't bent but i'll have to assess when its light out. Dave, I have a list for you in the 'I need it now' thread  | ||

That sucks! I'll get on the list first thing in the morning. Claudia checked in about 6:30 tonight, she is in Ohio. She said she rode about 350 miles today. Kandie and Bobbie made it back to Iowa about 3:30 this afternoon. | ||
| Kandie |
Sorry to hear about your mishap. Mom and I made it back to Iowa about 3pm. Had a good time. I got a good sunburn and a parking ticket! Thanks for letting me tag along Dave. Alex, will you take me snowmobiling sometime? Claudia, I hope to see you again. | ||
| Typeone |
Thanks Dave, for the parts and the Claudia update. Man, she's must be having a great time, weather is perfect. Thanks for the condolences, Kandie. Sucks  but she'll be good as (almost) new with a little TLC. | ||

Egads...who do you need to know to get one of those "OWN THE CORNERS" shirts? Awesome! | ||
| Daves |
A Buell dealer? Those were given away free a year or so ago. | ||
| Kandie |
I think that shirt is at least 3 yrs old, I found it in Dave's closet. It has a "Slay the Dragon" thing on the back. | ||
| Blackbelt |

Man Dave, your killing me.. I WANT ONE OF THOSE Blue XB12R's.... Get the X-1 paid off then one more bike before the V-rod for the wife... lol | ||

Court I can send you one. Dave has about 5 of them. Some have the sleeves cut off though. | ||
| Daves |
Is there still one in the wrapper in my closet? | ||
| Daves |
Claudia is home. She just left a message on my phone(I was with customers) I'm sure she will check in here soon. | ||

Thanks for the note on Claudia. She is one cool girl. | ||

Just a quick note - I had a great time this past week - an adventure I'll never forget. I made a lot of friends and hope to see you all again not too far in the future. Maybe you'll make it out east some time soon? The ride back home was long, but well worth it. Clinton, I took I-80 through OH and PA, then rode up north and through some CT backroads. I have 1808 miles on the bike now.  BTW, Noto's HD & Buell in Plains, PA did an oil change and adjusted the primary chain for me yesterday afternoon as I rolled into their parking lot. No appointment necessary - two thumbs up and a big thank you to Melissa, Rick and their staff! I'll post some more and some pics sometime this weekend. In the meantime, I'm sending a big hug to my new adoptive mom and big sister A big Thank You to everyone who made this event possible, organized it and contributed to it in some way! | ||

Thanks for the update, Claudia! I've never met you but I can tell that you're one cool girl! 1808 miles on your new bike? That's cool!  Notice that I don't hide behind the "Anonymous" function.  Anonymous, I'm calling you out!  | ||

Well we picked the right weekend for the finale! Last weekend, highs in the upper 70s, this weekend,highs in the mid 40s. Thanks again to everyone that came to get their new Buells from H-D/Buell of Appleton! I'll be cooking up the next promotion in the next week or so! Stay tuned. | ||

Claudia, happy to hear youre home safe! Sounds like the ride was a blast. So jealous Not sure if you're part of any local BRAG chapters yet but check out the Northeast chapter in the Storm Fronts thread... one of these weekends there is a big ride out to beautiful Rt 2! Roads are gorgeous out there. Some sweet twisties. I look forward to hooking up this summer for some rides! Enjoy that 9RRL in the meantime. Your girlfriend with the Aprilia is gonna be jealous. | ||
| Cabalclaudia |
Clinton, we definitely should go riding this summer - hope you get your bike fixed up quickly! I always thought only the Blast could vibrate off the kickstand - very sorry to hear it happened to you! Maybe we can meet at the American Thunderbike night at MotoMarket in Acton one of these days? BTW, did Eric send an email with the pictures yet? (With my provider I can never be sure if I actually receive email that was sent to me....) |
