We'll take a few minutes and dig in as soon as it arrives.   Sams Posted on Thursday, May 03, 2007 - 11:07 am:        Just a reminder that tonight is our long awaited dyno night meeting. Get you bike baselined for $20 and see what you got and where improvements can be made. I'd like to get an early start on this so the dyno will be open to the club starting at 6:00 PM. Be there or be square. Sam   Mxer83 Posted on Thursday, May 03, 2007 - 12:29 pm:        Sam, I have about 6 copys of the dyno release form that I printed out at home. we still need to sign those correct?   M2epyonpilot Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 12:58 am:        My strongest appologies to All, As I had stated my fellow friend and car builder needed my help last minute with heading up to Michigan to pick up a car that he had won on ebay. I went along strongly stating that I would have to be at our meeting on time today. Needless to say I got screwed out of being at the meeting by unfortunate events. I'm sorry for not being able to be there. Please see the following post about my pre-race party. Kurtis Kraehmer P.S. Time and meeting place for Slimey Crud?   M2epyonpilot Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 01:24 am:        2007 Warbirdz Racing Pre-Race Party! When: Friday June 1st at 7:00pm Where:13248 W. Long Run Ct. Homer Glen, IL. 60491 Questions:Tecno007@comcast.net I'm hosting a little get together at the house to display the car and share a laugh or two before the next nights race. I'll have the car out there so that those that may not be making it to the race can see the car. So please feel free to stop on by and share a laugh or two before the action the next night! The race is June 2nd at Route 66 Raceway starting at 7:15pm, the show is called MASTERS OF DISASTER. Among the Figure-8 Race that I will be racing in there will be school bus racing/figure-8, trailer racing, one on one demos, and jet pack flight. 20$-Adults, 15$-Kids. They do have front, gated off motorcycle parking at the track. I have secured #81 for my car so you know who to look for. NOTE: Last years Masters of Disasters show sold out I'd recommend buying them in advance by calling the box office at 815-727-RACE. You also save 4$ off admission. Any questions e-mail me and I'll send you my cell number   Marc Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 09:27 am:        Slimey Crud Run Riders, Here is the schedule agreed to by Paul, Curt, Tim and myself. Please feel free to invite others. Ensure they understand that if they are late for the Belvidere Toll Plaza start point that they will be left behind. Sunday 5/6 Slimey Crud Run Schedule: Day before prep --> Have your bike loaded and ready....Have 100 miles of gas in your tank so we don't have to fuel before Belvidere Toll. Weather looks awesome so I will be packing light this year. Before 7am - depart our homes...damn this is early. 7am - Marc and Paul only - Meet at Downtown Plainfield coffee shop for ride to Belvidere Toll Plaza 8:15 to 8:30am - Meet at Belvidere toll plaza for fuel stop and breakfast snack. Everyone ready to leave by 8:30am. 8:30am - 10:30am ride from Belvidere toll to Pine Bluff, WI. Skip stopping at Starbucks to meet the Madison Buell club as this burns up more time. Let's just meet them at Pine Bluff instead with everyone else and hook up for a ride together as we leave Pine Bluff. 10:30 to 11am - check out bikes at PineBluff, snack, whatever. 11am to 1pm - ride from Pinebluff to Leland (2 hours of twisty fun). I still have Bomber's map from Sept 06 which was a fun route. I can't remember total time commitment for this route? 1pm to 2pm - have lunch in Leland, check out bikes, whatever. 2pm to 6pm - EARLY RETURN CREW --> fun route back to Madison area, but then judiciously get back on superslab for Chicago return. LATE RETURN CREW --> Whatever you want to do. John Thomas, Curt Ringwald and I believe hold the record for the longest one day crud run ever in SEPT 06...we even got in a ferry ride. CYA Sunday.   Wrong36 Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 11:41 am:        SLIMEY CRUD RUN. great ride yesterday, even if we never made it to Leland. thanks to all who led, we found some awesome new roads. i was wondering if anyone else had trouble with their BLACK WCC shirts ? after washing mine, a LOT of the ink came OFF !!! i'll be talking with the printers an hopefully getting some replacements.   Lastcyclone Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 03:56 pm:        I had a great time too. Sorry, I had to bug out. I knew I'd never have the energy to make all the way to Leland and then back to Lockport. Got home about 6p and 430 miles later. Longest ride for me. I'm still sore. That is where the trailer sure comes in handy. Now, who wants to ride around Lake Michigan in June? How can I get a shirt Tim?   M2epyonpilot Posted on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - 03:22 am:        I agree it was a cool Slimey Crud Run, my first official club ride and my first Slimey Crud for that matter. I had a lot of fun on the ride, I saw some cool bikes, sharpened my riding skill a little more, and got the crap kicked outta me by the wind...all in all a great trip. I made it to Leland and saw some burnouts and more bikes; as for the superslab ride home? Eh, windy and stressful with all those crazy "cages" out there. See everybody at the next meeting with the official race re-cap, photos, and maybe even a dvd of the race.   M2epyonpilot Posted on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - 03:44 am:        MASTERS OF DISASTER Stunt Show Where: Route 66 Raceway When: 7:15pm, June 2nd How much:20$-Adults, 15$-kids (day of) 16$-Adults, 11$-kids (advance) (815)-727-RACE for advanced What:Featuring myself in the #81 Warbirdz Racing Chevy in Figure-8 racing action, as well as, trailer racing, bus racing, one on one demos and a jet pack flight.

Tim! What the hell you doing washing it? Real bikers give em six months or so of wear first so they "age" properly. Sam   Billetmetallic Posted on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 - 02:36 am:        hey there chi town buellers, I was wondering if you wanted to sell me one of your club tees, im originally from chicago but now i am living in portland riding my S1 but would love to represent both chicago and buell out here, xl (or 2xl) in any color combo would be great. thanks graham   Wrong36 Posted on Thursday, May 10, 2007 - 12:13 pm:        hey graham... i'm sure we can help you out with a shirt. go here: http://windycityclub.com/officers.html i think Frank can arrange payment [t-shirts are $14], and Sam can maybe see if we've got any left in your size, and perhaps arrange for shipping. i can delegate responsibility. haha. -tim   Wrong36 Posted on Thursday, May 10, 2007 - 12:26 pm:        has anyone booked rooms for the HOMECOMING ? i just started looking, and a lot of places are SOLD OUT already.   Wrong36 Posted on Friday, May 11, 2007 - 12:47 pm:        i know this is a Buell site, but Triumph Demo Ride/Open House @ MCC this weekend. http://teammcc.com I totally wanna try this thing !! http://www.mcnews.com.au/Wallpaper/Triumph/SpeedTr iple/2005/black_rhf_1024.jpg   M2epyonpilot Posted on Friday, May 11, 2007 - 04:02 pm:        Tim, Yeah that looks like a really cool bike, I myself don't know to much about Triumph but that one would be worth a test ride just to see what it's like. Hope you have fun!   Lastcyclone Posted on Friday, May 11, 2007 - 04:58 pm:        Hey Tim, I'd like to go ride a Tiger and a Multistrada if they have one there. Let me check the weekend schedule. What time were you planning on going? I may have some time Sat. or Sun. afternoon. Let me know. Also, I like lodging for homecomming too and a roommate judging by the current market conditions.

John   Wrong36 Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 11:21 am:        HOMECOMING: for those going... i recommend the super-8 in West Bend... i gotta room there pretty cheap, and most everything was SOLD OUT already. http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/Booking/check _avail?destination=west%20bend
