Pete Anziano decided one day to get the ball rolling.
He asked if Stone Mountain Harley Davidson/Buell would start a BRAG group.
We're all glad he didn't take the "We thought about it but the idea just kinda fizzled out" as a reason not to try.
So then one cool night the 3% Bragging Rights Club was born.


One of the first things we did was host a Demo Ride at T.W.O. we called March Badness.
We broke a ten year record for demo rides by almost double!
For most of us this was the first time we spent any amount of time together.
We found over that most excellent weekend that we were going to be good friends.

But seein' as how we're just a bunch of hooligans we found time to play around.

But there was plenty of work to do as well.
ALL of us would (will) do it again in a heart beat.

Once we got to know one another we started going to Bike Night at the Vortex.
Every kind of bike you can think of shows up at on time or another.

We all LOVE the mountains of North Georgia, and we go as a group every time we all can get away. Chances are if you're up near Suches, Helen, Turners Corner, Wolf Pen Gap, Neals Gap, 129, ect, you'll run into at least one of us. And it seems our Club is getting bigger all the time.

This is me at the demo rides.
You can tell it's day two of the rides and two week after my surgery.
I was having a great time (even though it doesn't show)

That "chick" is Rebecca aka Along4theride.
She'll get a kick outta that!

Looks like you can find most all us at the Vortex on Thursday night. So if you're ever in Atlanta find your way to Little Five Points. Where it's not what you ride, it's that you ride.

Remind me not to ride in front of this guy. Between the tiny little front discs & that real original rear brake setup its a wonder he can even ride that pile.

Very cool !

Of note is that the FIRST Buell owners club, in the current iteration of Buell, was in that very neighborhood of GA.

Thanks for some great pics!

Blah, Blah, Blah...

More pics of the chick in the pink mesh top!



Seriously, Nice report and some very fun pics. I can't wait for next month when I solo to Winston-Salem from Milwaukee. I looking forward to hitting some twisties in the south. I'm tired of straight midwestern rural farm roads.

It all started out innocently enough...
...but our Buelliganism is rubbing off!!!

But I could'nt of hoped to find a better group to ride with!

Hell if I end up passing my classes,
then I will be able to get my priorities back in order.

We mustn't forget that even though this wild eyed young man calls himself "Streetfighter Rob" He not a 3%er or even a Buell rider. I have had an a great time these past 5months. Yes it has only been five months. I need to find the pictures of when I met Gerald Rinehardt at the drags. Or when i was riding with Trip Nobles and the Freddy Spencer gang. Hats off to all ye who have participated in making this humble little club what it is.

You did not post ya'll helping with TedK by delivering the Game Cube and a picnic lunch. Or, Shred's in lot stunt show.
I great re-cap though Glitch. : )
