Jerry, were you at the grand opening at Deeley's? | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
no, couldn't make it, my friend Rick Castaneda sent me those pix. | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
 doin' the "Gumby", Crater Lake, Oregon  Deeley's in Vancouver opens their shop on a Saturday to replace Mark Lundsford's broken belt, then doesn't charge any labor. | ||

Ah, I thought we may have met there and not realized it. | ||

Jerry, thanks for the memories, by the way the belt change was on a Sunday. Hope to see you at SPLASH. Cheers, Stuart. | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Stuart, my thanks are reciprocated to you, for all you've done for Buell over the years, and for all you've done for me. sorry we missed at SPLASH last year -- as you know, it was my first one in five years, and for once the weather was great all three days (i'll never forget you making raingear for the gang out of Hefty bags and electrical tape at the Cougar store!) -- and even sorrier that i can't make it up there this year. perhaps NEXT year i can actually do SPLASH and the Border Raid -- think the management at the Hard Rock in Whistler will ever welcome us back?  hope you and Ali and Liam are doing well.

 good times at the Hard Rock In Whistler, BC, Canada during a past Border Raid. | ||

Now that was a fun night! I had such a bad headache that next morning! Wonder what they did with all them under garments that ended up on the antlers???????? | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Jim, i cruised by there the next morning on the way to Starbucks, and all the panties and bras were gone. one does wonder what became of them...  in the shot at Crater Lake above is Jack Patrick, a motor cop from Eugene, Oregon. he's a cool guy, only slightly off-center, and before we suited up he graced us with this creation.  | ||

 i shot this at the '98 Seattle International Motorcycle Show, and this pic (and a small write-up about the day) is buried on Buell's website somewhere. there's a crisp $20 in it for you if you can provide the Buell URL to this pic and the write-up. edited by jerry_haughton on May 22, 2004 | ||

Okay, so instead of a camera, I'll send you a scanner. ![: ]](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/proud.gif) Sure is great to see your photos. And I'm actually kinda growing fond of your thumb. | ||

Except he's supposed to have oil and grease imbedded in his fingers from working on HIS S-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

With speed limit signs like that, I want to move to Montana! Plus the view looks nice too. | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Blake, it took me FOREVER to finally get a little digital camera, so i figure an actual honest-to-goodness scanner is a ways off yet. actually, you'd be surprised the hoops i'm having to jump throught to get these pix posted, as my "daily driver" computer (sigh, the one i earn my living on) has, shall we say, issues. FMJ, Danny finally procured a new shock and swingarm for the BLURR (and then delivered them here to to the 'Dome -- talk about service!), but the shock is missing a piece and he's back on the chase. the engine still needs an output pulley (remember that Road Thing got the original) and i just shipped the starter from it yesterday to PDX. all that said, yep, i'm sure taking my own sweet time putting the ol' heap back together, doing a lot of detail work while it's down to the frame, and the Thong is providing a pretty reasonable Buell fix in the interim. Mick, as far as i know things have changed in Montana re: the speed limit since the last time i was there, maybe someone listening knows? i did a thousand-mile-day on the BLURR on my first return trip from Sturgis, and spent all day at 110-mph-plus as i blazed across the Big Sky state. it's a bizarre feeling to pass the Montana Highway Patrol at speeds like that, but like the sign said, if it was "reasonable and prudent" for the conditions they'd give you a wave and leave you alone.

here's another look into the mind of Officer Wacky Jack Patrick, from the Vol. 3 Issue 2 1999 Battle 2win magazine. outta the blue 'ol WJ rides out onto the BattleTrax course at Donner wearing Debbie Gussenhoven's leather bikini bottom and not much else.   so how'd you like to get pulled over by THIS guy??? photo copyright Battle 2win magazine | ||

as far as i know things have changed in Montana The "reasonable and prudent speed" was deemed to be "too vague" to be enforcible. In other words, someone got a speeding ticket, lawyered up, got the unposted limit repealed years ago. I was in Montana in 01, if memory serves me correctly, the interstate speed limit was 85 mph day / 75 mph night, the 2 lane highways were 75 / 65. | ||

Ferris, these pix are truly amazing, as are, I'm sure, the memories that go along with them. Please indulge us with more if you can. This is becoming my favorite thread! | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
Chainsaw, a shame Montana's Big Sky mentality, at least re: the speed limit, had to go by the wayside. still, 85 ain't bad, and if the SoCal freeways were posted 85, most of the folks would do at least 105 with relative impunity. ever ridden thru Glacier Nat'l Park? it'll leave one sans breath. Captain Kirk, loved your TV show, can't imagine why you started doing Priceline.com commercials... thanks for the props on the pix -- yeah, the memories and the people who made them are indeed cool (that is the biggest understatement imaginable), and i appreciate that i get a chance to share some of them here. as long as Blake doesn't point a photon torpedo my way i'll keep 'em coming. ps to AnonEB way back at the beginning of this thread -- thanks, but remember: this is all YOUR fault! (well, yours and that Court feller...) FB | ||
