I know there are about 1,000 different threads on Homecoming.
Who's planning on attending any or all events?
Also, I sure hope someone lights a fire under Buells @ss to get this information out to Owners that don't use the Badweb. I hope they're smart enough to post it on their site and include it in the next Fuell issue. But who knows when that will be sent out.
So anyway, who's gonna be there!!??

I want to. We should start a hotel/motel room sharing list or something.

As far as I know, the Hotel thing is still up in the air. So far I give Buell a HUGE

for the way this is being handled. Or mishandled in this case.

Great idea on Hotel/Motel room sharing.

Oh, hell; I'll be there if I have to pitch a tent in front of the factory.
However, I'd rather stay in a motel room with other Buellers nearby.

I just looked at Hotel.com and HOLY CRAP!
I punched in East Troy. Showed Hotels all around the area. The prices? All I can say is I'm staying at a 5 Star Resort in Sedona Arizona this summer for about the same price as most of the Hotels listed around East Troy.
And I'm not talking about the ones in Lake Geneva.
A Hotel should have been blocked out MONTHS ago.
All I can say is good luck. If you are planning on coming, I'd take the bull by the horns and book a room now. The longer you wait, the less fair priced rooms will be left!

I found is low as 62 bucks a night to 119.00. 40 minutes from Hal's, 40 minutes from factory and 1 hour 20 minutes from Road America. Let me know. Steve if this works for you. I can get everyone located just off the interstate on HWY 20.

I'm planning on it.

Little worried about the hotel thing, but I don't need anything fancy.

Buell.com sez "full details coming soon" - maybe someone is building a motel for us.

Last time I did a search, there was NOTHING available <$175/nite. If there is a place (or a few places close together), could someone in the area approach them re. hosting the out-of-town folks, preferably with a healthy discount.
No offense intended but Buell/Brag/HOG/whoever has dropped the ball on this.
I can't think about going with nothing but booked/unavailable on the other end. Needs to be UNDER $100/nite ($50 is more like it).

"No offense intended but Buell/Brag/HOG/whoever has dropped the ball on this".

Now that's the understatement of the year!

To get Hotel/Motel prices that low, you'll have to stay 100 miles away or split the cost of a room.

It's already too late.

I'm having my girlfriend look into rooms at local Marriot hotels in the Brookfield/Waukesha area (close to Hal's) as we speak.

I'll post more as I know it.

Ok,

There are some rooms available in the waukesha/brookfield area for those interested. These would be at the following...

The Courtyard Brookfield
Townplace Suites Brookfield
Milwaukee Marriott West in Waukesha
The Residence Inn Downtown Milwaukee

My girlfriend tried getting the friends rate for you guys, but she can't due to this being on a Holiday weekend and Milwaukee's Summerfest is going on. She's an accountant for Marriot.

If you're interested in seeing Summerfest, try the Residence Inn in Milwaukee, you'd be just about in walking distance.

BOOK NOW!!!

Marriott.com and do a search for Brookfield, WI

I was scheduled to be in northern Wisconsin until sunday, but I'm going to beg the little woman to head home friday so I can share at least 1 day with the you Buell folks.

Bud, Steve and the gang at Hal's (including everybody in the BrewCity Thunder Bikes club) are busting ass to be sure this is an event you guys will enjoy.

There are tons of hotels near my place (South side of Milwaukee, near all the burbs) between Howell Ave. and 27th St. .. .. all of which are 5 minutes or less off I-94, (lots of them in this area because the airport is right here) 15-20 minute ride to Hal's in most cases.

Do a search for hotel's within 5 miles of zip code 53221 .. willing to bet there will be quite a few cheap ones..


My garage is also avalable to those in need on the trip in, hotels probably won't make the friendlest place to work on your bike...

I was thinking that maybe we could get together for dinner with folks who don't ride up to the races. Maybe do a group Summerfest run or something Saturday evening?
