sorry for being absent so long, I had a few personal issues to deal with including a deep tissue infection of a prior surgery site in my back. This is the reason I ended up in the hospital instead of being at homecoming where I belonged  In other news I got my first tattoo yesterday (with Buell content even!) and wanted to show it off. I got it at Sinful Skin here in Mexico MO, I designed it myself and incorporated the Buell 25th anniversary logo and the date of my accident in the display of the calipers.  | ||

Nice! There isn't enough room on my arms to date every time I've been down  | ||
| Crusty |
Brian: Glad to hear that you're O.K. We were really concerned when you didn't make it to Homecoming, and nobody could reach you. I like the new ink. You'll have to show it off at Homecoming next year. | ||
| Diablobrian |
I've been down several times too Froggy, but I'm talking about the BIG one that put the hitch in my step and put me on the DL. | ||
| Ourdee |
Missed meeting you this HC. Hopefully next year in New Berlin. | ||
| Slaughter |
Brian, Was only able to make the parr-tay at Hals and missed you man. Gotta catch you next time around. Glad you're able to deal with all the "aftermarket" modifications that the medicos are doing to you!! | ||
| Diablobrian |
Every day above ground is a good day! I was more upset about missing homecoming than I was about having to go under the knife again! I'm surprised that they didn't keep me under sedation for longer than they did because I was NOT pleasant company for this one, and I've been told that in the past that I was many of my nurses' favorite patient during my various recoveries at various hospitals. | ||

BRAIN! I was just about to start an MIA thread... Nice tatt! Good to hear from ya! | ||
| Diablobrian |
btw getting ready to move to Columbia MO in the next week or so, and I will also be getting one of my favorite cars of all time too! I'm getting rid of my 94 9c1 caprice (police interceptor with LT-1) and replacing it with a 1972 Javelin....Unless something goes horribly horribly wrong in the next few days. This car has a solid body just needs interior work due to sun damaged upholstery and this is a rare gem here in the rust belt. Another fine Wisconsin based vehicle for my driveway | ||
| Rex |
Great artwork. Glad to see you back. keep on keepin on.....Who has the first Buell Blast Cube Tattoo? REX | ||
| Diablobrian |
Oh yeah Glich, dig the GlitchCo banner and page! | ||
| Glitch |
1972 Javelin!!!!!! No kidding! My Dad had a 72, and a 73. He was a real AMC man all the way up until the end. I learned to drive a Nash Rambler. My first car was a Gremlin. My Mom drove a Sportabout, and a Pacer. He even had a Marlin!  | ||
| Glitch |
Yeah, I've got an update coming soon. Something I can't wait to unveil! | ||
| Court |
Brian: Good to see you back and wishing you all the best. Because you missed Homecoming no one was able to drink. I lied. | ||
| Firstbuell |
Glitch, I think you'd love attending Chop's event - http://www.concoursdlemons.com/  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Brian, I am still hoping to get to Mexico to see you. Hoping to have a bike to ride with you as well. Know anyone at the Zenith plant? I'd love to take a ride. | ||
| Diablobrian |
Nope, no contacts at the Zenith plant, but I'm sure we'll get together one of these days, it's a small world.....after all..... Sorry, I couldn't resist. Also, I'd go to the concourse d'Lemons just to see the unusual cars that show up, even though I do love my AMC "pony cars" the Pierre Cardin Javelins and AMX's were admittedly ugly and they did have their notorious "Friday afternoon" cars that weren't quite up to snuff. The car I'm getting currently sports a good ol' AMC 258, but eventually I'll be doing a conversion over to a 401 and making it functionally a street version of this 71 AMX  except that the current plan is for it to be metallic orange with a black "Skunk" stripe. | ||

Good to see your in spirits Brian. I was hoping you were well. Next year homecoming if you need any ink added I can hook you with Dave over at Skin Candy next door to the bar. BTW that is a great ink design. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
glad to hear that your doing ok brian. would have liked to have met you at hc since i finally made it this year. with the daughter living up in wisconsin now, hoping i'll get up that way more often. btw, nice tat. and getting the jav would definitely look great in the driveway. the family business was next to the amc dealer back in clairton pa. that was a great car to look at. | ||
| M2statz |
The Javelin is one of my favorites ever since the next door neighbor had one and lets say that the daughter was a favorite of mine also. Hey Glitch my first car was a 1975 Gremlin Bright Orange. I loved that car but then again at 16 a car is a car and I did not know any better. Glad that you are on the mend Brian!! Post pictures of the Javelin when you can!! | ||
| Cyclonedon |
Brian, glad to see your posting on BadWeb again! We missed you at homecoming! | ||
| Geforce |
Great lookin tat! Hey man good luck on the move to Columbia, be careful if you do large group rides up there, TONS of squiddies. Send me a PM and maybe we can ride some weekend. I'm down in Waynesville. | ||
| Diablobrian |
Court/Cyclonedon/Nevrenuf/m2statz and Dana: If I couldn't be there it is good to know that I was missed! If there was ANY way I could have made it I would have been there, but I went in to see the doctor about how slowly my back was healing and the next thing I know I was signing admission paperwork.... It was not my happiest day. Yeah Geforce unfortunately I know a bunch of them, I have been invited multiple times to come out and ride with the "Thursday Night Riders" but I somehow have found more compelling places to be....for the past 4 years worth of thursday nights I don't want to be a part of any group that routinely has to "scramble" to get away from the police. People get killed that way. | ||
| Diablobrian |
Crusty: I somehow missed your earlier post and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you. If I could have been there I would have been, but I'm sure you knew that. Were you solo this year or were you able to get company after all? | ||
| Phelan |
Looking at those pics makes me want a Javelin/AMX. I love to be different. Dis I mention I used to drive an Astro Panel Van with a 355  ? | ||
| Nevrenuf |
oh yeah, my first car was the pacer. "rock on garth" | ||
| Danger_dave |
Nice. Right. That's it. My next tattoo is going to have flames. You gotta get hot to play real cool. | ||
| Diablobrian |
I went a little heavy on the symbolism with this tattoo, the helmet is for my love of riding, the wrench and calipers are for engineering, the flames are for the accident that didn't burn me out or down, and you all know what the logo above the visor is about The skull and bones motif is all about my attitude of course.  My left shoulder is my past/present and eventually when I find the right elements my right shoulder will be present/future. I think a key element will be a phoenix rising, and I'm sure that there will be BMC content as well, but that's all I have for now. I went 39 years, including 6 as active duty US Navy, before designing a tattoo that I felt comfortable having on my body for the rest of my life. I didn't come to this lightly, I never had anything against tattoos, I just didn't want one out of a book. The time and place were finally right.....Added bonus? My wife bought it for my birthday. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
HOLY COW... He's ALIVE! Hey Brian. We *REALLY* missed you at Homecoming! I kinda figured you landed in the Hospital after talking to you the week before Homecoming. If you're gonna be around tonight, I'll give you a ring and fill ya in on whatcha missed this year | ||
| No_rice |
