Buell Motorcycle Enthusiasts,

This year will mark a quarter-century since a certain young AMA Formula-1 motorcycle racer and Harley-Davidson Engineer produced the very first Buell Motorcycle, the notoriously vicious, 163+ HP, Barton-based square four, liquid-cooled, two stroke RW750 racing machine; that effort comprises the root origin of today's Buell Motorcycle Company.

Congratulations Erik Buell, all the good folks who are Buell Motorcycle Company, and all associates & supporters past and present!

In light of this landmark 25th year of achievement and innovation, the traditional/annual Buell Motorcycle Company homecoming celebration this year promises to be a most extraordinarily excellent experience for any/all Buell Motorcycle enthusiasts who attend.

Please exploit this topic to present, plan, contribute, or discuss anything constructive or positive concerning Buell's 25th Anniversary celebration or related events.

Hope to see you there!

Blake


Thursday, July 3rd - Erik and The Thunderbolts at The Boiler Room! Don't miss a great time.

Well, I have been home for several hours now, and I can say that this has been the best vacation I have ever taken. It was great to be able to put faces and names together, make new friends, and see some old friends as well. Steve(Maximum), you have a great son in Sean and I hope he heals quickly. I also laughed at your wife's comment that now she doesn't have a bike to ride. To everyone else that I met and swapped stories and advice and tech tips with, it could not have been a better week. It was cool to be treated like the VIP's that we are at Summerfest (Thanks Laura), and I look forward to doing this again and again. Now I just have to put in for vacation for BUELLTOBERFEST.

Hey everyone, Sean flew home on Sunday and is doing fine...and Troy and I rode home Sunday and Monday. About 1200 miles and two days...we got home at 9:30 last night.

I wanted to apologize for the distractions (of the parade lap crash) to an otherwise great day of racing. I'm glad that his incident did not directly impact anyone else on the track at that time.

I wrote a post of the incident (to the best of my knowledge) on my trip thread over in the "Big, Bad and Dirty" section.

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/371855.html?1215552348

Other than dealing with that, it was a great Homecoming.

I got home yesterday evening after staying with Steve & Toni for homecoming (thanks again!)

Homecoming keeps getting better every year. It is great seeing everyone, even if I
have a hard time putting faces to the names : )

I was really impressed by Laura's efforts and those of the Buell team. They really went
the extra mile to make the events go off smoothly and make Southern Wisconsin feel like
home no matter where we came from.

I was also impressed (as usual) with the Buell owners present. It is an incredibly good
feeling to know that when a Buell rider breaks down every other Buell rider that happens
across them will stop and see if they can do anything to help. Two years ago when the
"Friday night Buell relay team" helped me it was no fluke. It was just the Buell way.

That in NO WAY diminishes the efforts of those involved in helping their fellow riders!
Quite the contrary, it serves to contrast Buell riders from any other group of riders I've
ever known.

Thank you to every one that said hello to me and/or lent me a hand over homecoming. While
I am a fiercely independent person I do appreciate the occasional hand up.

Also for those that asked about my brother Michael, and the racing effort: He wishes he
could have been there and we hope to be back racing next year...if not sooner.

Enjoyed meeting everyone. I am glad Sean is doing better.

What and awesome week! I really enjoyed myself. Everyday there was something fun to do. Big thanks to Buell, Laura (what's her last name?) and everybody I got to talk to and see.

Homecoming is an event every Buell owner should go to at least once!

I get pretty excited thinking about the pics but gotta realize that they probably took over 10,000 pics between all the staff photographers on duty. (bet the number is actually higher than that)

They will need time to review the mountain of images - and you can bet they're also going to post a video or two. All that stuff takes tons of time.

While I bet they'll have one or two images posted pretty soon, they've got their work cut out for them if they're going to post an "album" of sorts.

Having had to suffer through filtering a TON of images on projects for public release, I'd be inclined to give them a good month or more before more than a few photographs are posted.

(but of course, I still want them to HURRY!)

we talk to Chad, who was one running the camera's and he said it will be sometime in August before pics and vidoes will be released...that could change as more people demand it, but that what we were told!

Many thanks to all of the photographers who were taking pictures during the event.

I now actually have some photos of me on my Ulysses as well as great photos of the numerous wonderful people that I met at the 25th.

It really is great to re-live the event through the photos on the website. Thanks again guys and gals.

Bob

PS...I especially want to thank the photographer who shot the picture of me coming up the hill at Road America...to me it is priceless.

The trick was to take a piece of your bike to the line where he was signing books and posters.
I took my inner air box and got that signed.
With the "see-thru" top cover, the sig is safe.

Had the exact same issue: My first thought was to go get my bike and push the damn thing through the line!
Since I was blocked in though, there was NO way I was gonna start moving people's bikes and take the chance of dropping it.
Ended up pulling off the aircleaner top and running that through the line instead.
Zac is right though, looks pretty slick under the see thru plastic!
