I'm coming to Milwaukee on Friday. Not sure where I'm staying, need to find a hotel by the dealership as I plan on being on site by 7am to start setting up the course. I want to get there Friday afternoon to check out the timing equipment and make sure that everything is working. I hate last minute surprises! I haven't decided which bike to ride out, both have advantages. Hmmmmmm FLHT for carrying stuff and comfort, cruise the 4 lane to get there or the XB9R and take less stuff, go across 11 to Beloit and have some fun on the way there. Decisions,decisions. Ride to the edge! Dave | ||
| Bads1 |
Well hopefully I'll see ya Saturday unless I could maybe catch up with you guys Friday night and talk you guy's coming into Racine again??? | ||

Daves, If you have trouble finding a place to stay give me a call later tonight and let me know what level of accomodations you need. 414.254.4005 After 7pm would be good. | ||
| Daves |
I sent Nevco an email since I think he lives close to the dealership? Waiting for his reply about what's close by. If I don't hear anything I'll give you a call Mike. Thanks Ride to the edge! Dave | ||

The apartment we're moving out of is 3 blocks from the dealership. About 5 minutes east just south of Mequon Road on Port Washington road there are several motels in Mequon. Heading north from Thiensville there is Cedarburg and Grafton with a variety of motels or hotels about 5-15 minutes from the dealership. On hwy-32 on the diagonal into Port Washington (near our new residence) there is a little roadside motel about 15-20 minutes from the dealership. West of Thiensville about 10-15 minutes is Germantown and Menomonee Falls and a wider assortment of hotels and motels. You probably don't want to go to one of the places south of the dealership that is closer than 10-15 minutes. Nevco is down in Brookfield about 15-25 minutes away and there are many nice hotels and motels down around there. See what Bill finds for you, or one of us will help you find a place. | ||

Dave, I'm about 30 miles from the dealership(near Bill), but you and the mrs. and whoever else are welcome to stay with us. I am free Friday night(read that as my wife is working) so if you need a hand or anything let me know. Or if dinner is in order, the first round of diet pepsi's is on me.

Hey6 Dana, I live on 6 mile road and a couple blocks off Lake Michigan. Nice little subdivision, been living there for 12 years. Maybe it would be nice to hook up and go for a ride. One of my friends in Kenosha who rides a black M2 will meet me out at Mars Cheese Castle if he don't have to work. I'm always looking for someone to ride with. Tomorrow I might go check out Great Lakes Drageway because there is a film crew going to be there doing some kind of street fighter documentary or something like that. Visit www.greatlakesdragaway.com for more details. Mike, as far as warming up my new tires, I'm not sure about any rating or what it would mean. but I work with a younger kid who rides a Honda CBR 600 and he has been wanting me to do a track day with him. Well I know the tires will work for that but I'm not sure about B-trax. I watched e-bay and bought a rear wheel with disc and pulley. Then found a front which happened to match color to the rear, grey in color, and they don't look all that out of place. The rear cost 225 and the front cost 95. Ebay, it all depends on who is watching and when the auction ends. Well gotta run. | ||

Hey Shane you have no email listing on your profile so email a phone number,I'll give ya a call sometime soon and go for a ride. THANKS Dana aka BadS1 | ||
| Dynarider |
Bill should be out riding his X1 right now. I dropped him off at Hals about 2:30 or so. And he is still a good cruise away from suburban. | ||
| Nevco1 |
Dave...I suggest either taking Jerry up on his offer or coordinating with MikeJ. Mike knows the area very well and can be of much better assistance. Heck, earlier in the week, Mike had to post directions for me to find Thiensville. I haven't been there since around 1956 and was too young to remember. Is a nice place, but not exactly where one would go to party! LOL | ||
| Nevco1 |
Hey Bill, you called me an "outrider". I'm showing my lack of knowledge here, is that someone who does not belong to any group or club? Shane...Good Guess! See ya Saturday. | ||
| Bomber |
Daves . . . . the offer of a bed at Festung Rosberg is always open . . . . .drop me a line if yer needy (but remember I'm about 90 mikes from the dealer) | ||
| Daves |
I thought of your "standing offer" but I want to be closer than that if I am to be there at 6-7am in the morning. Thanks Anyway. I figure I'll just get a room by I43 when I get to town Friday afternoon. Ride to the edge! Dave | ||
| Dynarider |
unless I could maybe catch up with you guys Friday night and talk you guy's coming into Racine again??? Dave's already done the racine bit. I would suggest you get on your new bike & ride up ther to meet him. Dont be afraid to put some miles on it. | ||
| Nevco1 |
Dyna...How did the golf clubs work out? FYI, I went and got some concrete cleaner and a brush tonight. You're welcomed to use them next time you visit since your truck has Diarrhea! LMAO | ||
| Dynarider |
I wanted to park in the street, but there are signs all over about no parking  BTW..I picked up the new valve cover gaskets & will have em installed shortly. Hopefully no more diarrhea  The clubs worked great...once I missed the first 5 swings. Havent picked up a club in 10 years so it felt weird. But after about a half bucket of balls I was hitting em pretty good. Tended to slice just a bit but I can correct that. Was hitting the 1 wood about 250, the 3 was just a tad less. Actually did pretty good with the irons too. Was nailing the 9 iron about 110 Didnt really put a lot of power into my swing...dont want to screw my back up..its still a little tender. Going to hit the range again tomorrow & friday before work. These clubs are sooooo much better than the junk I have. Cant thank you enough. Is the X1 running good? Hopefully it didnt take too long at Hals & you were able to get some riding in. | ||
| Bads1 |
Dyna the bike's broke in so don't go there with that crap.Are you his mother. GEEEEZZZ!!! | ||
| Dynarider |
500 miles?? Geeeeezzzz, thats more than you put on the old bike in the last 2 years. Hows your ass Now ride it up to thiensville. Its not that far, maybe 55-60 miles from your place. Compete in B-trax, take pics & report back. Thats an order youngster!!  Its time you learned that bikes are for riding, not polishing. | ||
| Bads1 |
Youngster,your not that much older then me Dyna.Work first ride second and that might be what's instore for me Saturday I'm afraid but still trying to change it around.We'll see I'm trying  | ||
| Nevco1 |
These clubs are sooooo much better than the junk I have. Cant thank you enough. They better. I gave you the Custom woods and Calaway irons. Slow down your swing and let the irons do the work. Play one club less until you get the feel. Oh hell, you will figure it out. LOL Just kidding about your truck. Should have the mess cleaned up early today. Have a few other spots where the Buell puked and I need to clean them up too. Next time just park east of the driveway. My dad had the No Parking signs posted to keep the lazy soccer mom's from ruining his grass in lieu of using the school's parking lot 200' away. Neighbors liked the idea and got them as well. For all you lurkers, we do not have curbs or sidewalks in this 'burb and the inconsiderate soccer mom's really screw up your lawn especially in the wet spring weather. Hmmmm...must be a lot like my dad when it comes to messing with people. Oh well, you can always tell a German...but you can't tell him much. LMAO Yep, the X1 works great! Had a great ride. Had them use Redline Synthetic in both the engine and tranny and it is really smooth. Just have to reprogram my mind to the Head First riding position.  } | ||

Daves, In Germantown there is theAmericInn http://www.americinn.com/display_property.aspx?id=64 and the Country Inn http://www.countryinns.com/hoteldirectory/hotelbio.jsp?hotelCode=WIGERMAN&origin =Hotel%20Directory&backURI=%2Freservation%2FhotelPreference.do%3FlocationUni%3D6 265%26dno%3D09180309190310 There is road construction on the I-45 overpass for Mequon Road and I'm not sure of the status of which on/off ramps are currently open/closed. But easy enough to get off at the hwy-Q offramp and head north on the side roads. There are also several hotels/motels right around there, like the Super-8 Motel (262) 255-0880 or (800) 800-8000. Any of these would put you about 10 minutes from Thiensville. If you want to be off I-43 east of Thiensville I can get you numbers/names of places later today. I also work half-days on Fridays and get off work at 11am if you want a ride-guide for routes to/from where you're staying and Suburban's shop. I'm currently working about 5 minutes from the Pilgrim Road Harley plant off I-45. | ||

You guys are so lucky, I'd love to ride the battletrax again(this time with good isolators). Anyone wanna fly me and the bike up, adopt me for a few days, then send back home. I wonder if I could fit in the crate with the bike to save on airfare - could get damm cold though. | ||
| Bomber |
Newfie I'd be willin to adopt ya! yer on yer own for travel though | ||
| Mikej |
Per Intellicast:
I guess with a tornado east of us and a storm front west of us and the jet stream looping northly above us we can't complain much. Still looking good for Saturday. | ||
| Dynarider |
Sat is the only day I care about. get my rd of golf in, hopefully keep the score below 100 & then have dinner. | ||
| Mikej |
I always keep the score below 100 on the front 9. | ||
| Dynarider |
I may just be hoping for that on sat. Havent golfed in 10 years so I may totally suck at it. Wasnt all that good back then either, but I still enjoy it. Makes you respect what the pro's are cabable of by shooting in the upper 60's. At least with the clubs Bill loaned me I wont look bad Maybe I can just be a golf poser for the day? Stand there with nice clubs & look like I know what I am doing. | ||

Stand there with nice clubs & look like I know what I am doing. Unless you are wearing those flip flops and that outfit you described before !!!  CJ XB | ||
