Steve it is very.... very important that you call me ASAP. My cell is 262-939-9922. Thanks man!!! | |||

I want to go, but I'm not paying $100 a night. Anyone want to share a room? Can we pitch tents in the Buell parking lot?  A word of warning. I snore, and I don't mean maybe. | |||
| Diablobrian |
Be sure to go to Buell.com and reserve your spot at homecoming so they'll know how many to expect. | |||

There is a list of hotels listed up on the Buell web site. Any recommendations from that list? I have no idea where those hotels are in relationship to the planned events. | |||
| Naustin |
All the hotels on Buells list are near the Race track | |||
| Diablobrian |
As was noted in another thread some of you may want a hotel closer to the Hal's/Uke's/Factory area. The Hotels near the track are over an hour north of the festivities except for the races on sat and sun. | |||

I'm gonna commute. | |||

I just reserved a room at the Super 8 in Racine. I'm saving over $150 as compared to the cheapest hotel listed on the Buell site (Quality Inn in Sheboygan). With all the things going on between Hals, the Factory, the Drag strip, and maybe Uke's, it makes more sense to me. Plus, the money I'm saving on the room will let me buy a couple of T-shirts, or maybe a gallon of gas, or something. | |||

Seriously If HD wants to give back to the Riders..........Really I think that the factory could either build a motel for this purpose or buy one. WTF? its only OUR money?????? They wont run out of food this year will they? 05 they did. (Message edited by mmmi_grad on April 22, 2007) | |||

We're going to work on some more hotel options today and tomorrow... The hotels they have are too expensive, and too far away from many of the festivities IMHO. | |||

Steve, are you staying down here or going up for the races? | |||
| Steve_mackay |
Saturday and Sunday I'll be riding up to the races in the morning, and riding back in the early evening. | |||
| Buellinachinashop |
I'm in for saturday for sure if you don't mind another rider in the pack. I'm coming home friday night late from up north. | |||

I just placed reservations in (Milwaukee Airport) Oak Creek, WI at the Comfort Suites. | |||
| Davegess |
I will commute  Really sweet ride from Milwaukee to RA. Unfortunately then I face an hour drone on the freeway after the party Saturday night so no beer for me ;( All those hotels are near the race track and if you are hanging out at EL on Saturday night or want to be at the track in the morning they are good choices BUT the US Senior Open is that weekend in Kohler, just down the road and any rooms within an half an hour are gonna be pricey. | |||

Dave, we were just out in Elkhart Lake yesterday. A LARGE section of HWY 67 up to Elkhart is going to be under construction unfortunately. Or fortunately, if you've ridden HWY67 recently. The road surface SUCKS! Brew City will have some decent routes that will avoid the construction areas, and almost completely avoid the freeway rides as well. | |||

For anyone interested in the ferry | |||

On the way up i take the kettle Moraine Scenic Drive all the way near Waubeka. I take 57 on the way home. Is teh bit in front of th erace track tore up? | |||

I'll be staying at Steve Mackay's house during homecoming. He has graciously offered me room for my RV again  | |||
| Buellinachinashop |
It'll be good meeting you Diablo | |||
| Coolice |
Yes Ulywife that's great! Diablo- hope to see you there, I will be staying in my rig at RA for the weekend. | |||
| Diablobrian |
You'll definitely see me on Saturday Mike, if not before that at other events. John, I'm not the best with names, but don't be afraid to walk up and introduce yourself. I'll be the one hobbling around with a cane | |||

now brian, lets just make sure i dont end up in the middle of now where wisconsin, in the pouring rain, by myself looking for you this year! i made damn good time though. i did some how manage to end up a few miles ahead of the group sitting and waiting. even though i have no idea how i got there, lol | |||
| Diablobrian |
last year I had some electrical gremlins plaguing me from a shorted sensor in my shifter. That should be a non issue this year, besides there won't be as many long commutes to events this year either. BTW what is going to be this year's "pink hat?" not that many people wore them... | |||
| Rocketsprink |
Looking forward to meeting you as well Brian. I'll be right next to Coolice at the Track with a MUCH smaller rig!  |
