Seven of us on six bikes left from Hal's in New Berlin shortly after 11 a.m. CJ_xb, R1Dynasqid, Wyckledflesh, Grapejuice, Ron and his wife Bernie (sp?), and myself. We decided to superslab it up to Appleton. We stopped in Fond du Lac for gas and lunch. I thought it would be a good idea to ask the gas station attendent where a good place to eat was. They may have recommended a good place but it wasn't open when we got there. Ron suggested Smitty's Oar House near his parents place. Funny thing was Dyna and I heard ••••• house and CJ heard Warehouse. After lunch we hti the highway again. Had an interesting gapers delay that caused some to take evasive maneuvers, but all arrived at the event in one piece. Now for the pictures: THe bikes lined up at lunch.  Lunch stop  Wyckedflesh all the way from Michigan  Hoban racebike  CityX, this thing is tall!  A real nice S2  Derrick (screen name?), R1Dynasquid, Kandie, Daves, and Shazam  and the brains behind the event!  I had a great time with great people. I took off about 5:30 and headed for Chicago. Who won the tattoo contest? Bike contest? | ||

LOL at Wycked, "All the way from Michigan..." Hell that fool used to trek all over the southwest! That was just a jaunt for him! Good to see your still representin' the SW. "Nice plate!"  | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Wycked & Grape at the gas stop. Bernie & Ron...her story is pretty cool. Came over from England for Daytona bike week. Fell in love, got married & is staying here. CJ's surrogate mom...this lady was bitching cause I snapped her pic. Grape...before her hair went "Gidget" on her. Waiting for food. Wycked & our shy waitress. Myself & Kinger still thought Ron said ••••••••• house  | ||

Grape, Bernie & CJ. breaking out the high $$ digital A few of the bikes at the event Superclean S2, everything was chromed on it. Stock Aprilia that won Best non Buell bike. The guy rode the bike there...but I wanna know how he got the stand there??? Stunt team was there, 3/4's of em were either in wheel chairs or had casts on their legs. Note to self..do not let this stunt team ride my bike. | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Dave/ I dont know/ Half a grape/ Bomber Love the shirt Dave...very appropriate. Kinger breaking out the Disc camera Just kidding. Bernies tat, nice work. CJ on the XB9SX..definitely not for short folks. Thrill, chills & spills Hobans race bike The "stunt" bikes were beat...severly beat. Remind you of anyone? 420 style wheelies | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Midnyte..hope I spelled that right..couldnt find any posts with your handle on them. Shazam/ Penny/ Dave/ Bomber This stunt bike was much worse looking in person. Actually had wire ties holding other wire ties to keep the panels on. Smile Pic got washed out in the sun, but very clean bike. Everything chromed & color co-ordinated. Even the helmet matched. Never really looked an S2 kickstand..holy crap is that thing huge. Appleton HD/Buell bikes for sale Where were we again?? Tattoos & pizza | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Completely stock S1..maybe the only one left in this shape. 30K+ on the S1. Nice suzuki TL1000R, painted in the owners garage. More of the S2 They came from around the globe CJ/ Grape/ Kinger/ Fuscat/ Shazam Bobbie after a hard day of getting the ballot box stuffed. | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
Q-Tip, err I mean Bomber Bernie & Ron Pippi Longstockings Dave announcing the bike show winners Dinner at the afore mentioned Machine Shed. Woulda been better off eating downtown..we found some really cool places later that night...still feeling the effects a bit too.  A political statement at a Buell function?? Christ Badweb is everywhere And thats all folks...CJ, Grape & Wycked will have their own to add as well. The rest are simply not rated for board consumption...Wouldnt make the PG13 rating scale..hell even an R rating would be a stretch. | ||
| Daves |
Thanks Dyna! Dave | ||
| Kandie |
Hey Sar,did you make it home without getting lost?We thought it was nice to have someone else to ride with. Thanks for the police escort to Appleton and for putting up with us for two days! We had a good time meeting everyone. Dyna do you have windshield wipers on your computer screen?!  | ||
| Cj_xb |
windshield wipers LMAO !!  It was fun meeting everyone, hope all those driving long distances make it home safely !! CJ | ||

Made it home I think in record time.. for some reason my throttle was stuck at about 90...couldn't get it to go down it would only go faster. from time leaveing appleton to my front door just at 4hours..... good thing there was no police anywhere or I would have ben in trouble... It was great meeting everyone and I am looking foreward to the next event we can all get togehter at. SAR | ||

I crawled out of the garage about an hour and a half ago. Man, was I beat! First off, staying out till 3:00 am doesn't help much for riding the next day.  Second, I was fighting a real strong south wind almost all the way back. It was blowing from left to right and a few times I thought I was gonna end up in the ditch. Other than the wind I had great weather. Much warmer than Saturday and sunny the whole way. It was a great weekend. I'm really glad I went! Hope everyone has a good track day tomorrow. I would have liked to gone to that but the timing didn't work out for me. | ||
| Daves |
Glad you guys made it home safe. Thanks again for coming to our event. Dave | ||

Wyckedflesh, How do you like that Contiforce? I didnt get much mileage out of mine, but for the money, I thought it was a great tire. | ||
| Rokoneer |
Really appreciate the photo's Greg, someday, somehow, I want to be able to meet these freaks in person and I'll have the advantage of knowing who they are while they have no idea who I am.... The pic of the stunt team bike with the two guys behind it in wheelchairs is priceless! | ||

Ok my pics will have to wait til tomorrow. I just stumbled through the door with a grand total of 1035+ miles round trip. Took 2 detours to avoid major construction back ups on the way home that I avoided on the way to Appleton by going through at 6am. The detours were worth it. Total of 8.5 hours ride time home. I am feeling it. My recap will have to wait though but I do want to say thanks to Dyna, CJ, Grape, Kinger, Aaron and Bernie for meeting me at Hal's and the GREAT company to ride with. To Dave, Penny and Bobbie, great bike show, was more then well worth the ride there. To the rest of the badwebbers I met, it was really cool meeting you all, hopefulyl next time I won't be so roadlagged and will be more conversational Kelly...I will answer this here...I made a post on the XB board about how I really liked the Conti...well I have truly revised this opinion...IT FARKING SUCKS BIG GREEN HAIRY DONKEY...well you get the idea. It has according to my log just over 2000 miles on the rear and it is now squirmy (pressure hasn't changed so don't say its low) squaring up badly, cupping badly, cupping bad enough to serve beer out of...needless to say I will be voicing my opinion to Conti about it. I bought them due to it being listed as a sport touring tire on their site at the time I ordered them. The Road Attack wasn't available here at that time. If it had I would have ordered it instead. (edit note:Thanks Dave, sorry about that Bobbie, brain is jello right now...) (Message edited by wyckedflesh on August 22, 2004) | ||

Seemed like a Badweb rally to me. Got to BS with Outrider and Sardawg, both really cool to talk to. Got to chat with wycked a little, cool dude as well. I felt bad about volunteering and not really contributing, but it was kind of a cluster. there was only a couple non-buells in the show, and all the Buells kinda lined up at once, so there wasnt much to do, with Sar and Outrider doing most of the work. then the hals groups showed up and showed total disregard for the system we had, and that was kinda the end of it. There were a bunch of squids in and out during the day, most of them saying good things about the Buells. All of them revving way up and doing wheelies as they left. I only saw one good one, by a 929, the rest just made noise. I think at one point there was more R1s there than Buells total, but a good crowd. Dave never missed a beat, glad-handing and schmoozing, that guys a pro. the scene, was packed with some rice in the near corner, but I took this picture after they left. The tent in the background was a rogans shoes tent, I was glad i didnt have any room to take shoes home cause the wife was shopping.  Buells in the show  Chads clean 9R    Bills clean X1  notice the couple checking out the sweet M2  beautiful S2, pics dont do it justice, paint was gorgeous, had a blue pearl in it.           stuntriders on minibikes, looked like a lot of fun, these guys were doing circle wheelies, right next to the show linup, had me worried a couple times, but no crashes  Hey Greg, i thought your plates said U2SLO, not I2SLO??  | ||
| Kelly |
God I love that volcano grey... Anyone wanna trade plastics?  | ||
| Daves |
I'm probably going to trade for that M2 on Tuesday. Want to buy the whole bike? Dave | ||
| Kelly |
Cant afford it.  | ||
| BadS1 |
The Hals group showed up and showed disregard????Elaborate please??? | ||
| Kinger |
I think we parked in the wrong spot??? Pulled in turned right and parked as directed, or so I thought.  | ||
| Socoken |
Chad had Buells in one row, and imports in the other, all facing outward, and lined up nicely. all the non show bikes where off to the side. they came in and parked on the end, in a pack. it was later on, not a big deal at all, as the lot was getting full, I just thought id mention it to ruffle some feathers. wycked fixed his, again, cool guy. some guy showed up on an import harley look alike with orange flames, parked in the wrong row, so he started it, and revved it up and rode it forward six feet. i thought it was hilarious. | ||
| Cj_xb |
then the hals groups showed up and showed total disregard for the system we had Disregard is wrong because that sounds as if we KNEW and didn't care and that's positively not true !! I followed the group, and then moved my bike out of the area behind the yellow tape altogether when ask and glad to do so. We just didn't KNOW what the system was !! There wasn't anyone in Hal's group that wouldn't have done whatever we could, we were just excited to be there !! Maybe instead of posting a negative comment here after the fact Socoken could have come over when we pulled up, said hello and explained the situation to us ?? It certainly shouldn't have been the end to it, not what any of us would have wanted !! CJ | ||
| Socoken |
"I just thought id mention it to ruffle some feathers." looks as though i have succeeded. seriously though, just kidding. i know you guys came a long way, and you all looked very ready to dismount and relax. like i said, it was towards the end of things, and it didnt matter so much. I was right there, but to ask you guys to move seemed unnecessary. did not mean it to be negative, sorry to have portrayed otherwise. | ||

Fuscat(Derek) and I made it home without any "incidents" took the scenic route back through Waterloo. We hung out and watched the battletrax and stunt show stuff before continuing south. No I didn't compete....but I did some laps..... Dave, Just wanted to let you know we had a great time. It was really cool to meet all of the badwebbers and others mentioned above, and to see the few I had previously encountered in other locales..... what a crew! We stopped at the factory in East Troy on the way up, for a few pictures, couldn't get in.... forgot my lockpick. Arrived at Appleton HD around 2:00 and it was a ghost town, Derek thought we had the wrong weekend, I suggested the wrong state.... directed to the mall shortly thereafter.... we started our trek home shortly after the winners of the tat contest were announced. all in all a super weekend! lots of miles....right at about 1500 roundtrip. great pics everyone. |
