Haven't been online in a while, but figured this picture would be funny. Coming home from SPHD the other day I came real close to a flock of birds on the highway, didn't think much of it, got home about 40 minutes later and found this....

Oh and I still don't know anyone around the area to ride with. I know you guys meet up on Saturdays but I usually work, if anyone is interested in going out on a Sunday let me know. I have a pathetically slow Blast but I try.

That is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I usually find butterflies etc.

Yeah, no butterflies, just an entire, intact bird. I can't figure it out. It must have missed my leg by centimeters.

Can't this Sunday coming up. But the 16th or beyond would be fine.

That little bird makes me cry. : (

PS - two weeks ago - Sunday the 25th, I saw 3 guys on XBs at the intersection of 101 and I-94 in Rogers. I pulled up along side and waved and I was wearing full gear and riding my Blast. The XBs took 1-94 west, and went into Rogers and went west on Hwy 81...

Just wondering if it was anybody from around here...

I've cried from running over things in my car, but the bird actually made me laugh, I couldn't figure out how it got there. It was complete shock.

Naustin,
You were up in my neck of the woods, you should have given me a heads up!
I'm in Maple Grove, it would have made a nice stop point for you..

Anyone else heading out to Sturgis from around here. I will be leaving on the 3rd, I realize it is early, but I have been told that it may be more enjoyable riding when it is less crowded on the roads. I'll be back by the 10th, so I'll catch a little of the madness. It would be fun to ride with some Buells out there!

I might think about stopping by Big City tomorrow, earlier in the afternoon that is. Looks like racing goes from 1pm til 6pm with FX at 5. When are y'all going?

Just had my first real track day this week at BIR, it was awesome. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's curious about track riding. My Buell ran great with no problems except that it was the slowest bike out there by far. There's another one at BIR Aug. 28 that I can't make but I may try to go down to MAM in Iowa (6hr drive) for Saturday Oct. 7. Let me know if you're interested.

Some pics...

Otherwise I think there are a few spots open for the DCTC riding course on 9/2 or 9/16. That's a great educational class, a little more mellow, a little closer, and cheaper. If anyone goes on 9/16 I may go watch and take pictures of you.

Here's a tip if you ever do a track day, take off the feeler pegs on your footpegs! I hit mine while in a tight turn and it stood me right up and started bouncing. I ended up going over the curb and off the track to do some off-roading for a little while before I came back to the pavement. Luckily I didn't go down but a similar thing happened at DCTC that scared me a little too. I took them off at lunch and only touched down my knees after that.

Hey Brad I think I saw you riding your S2 yesterday on weaver lake riding towards dunkirk. But I also saw a red S2 on the same road about 30 seconds in front of you. Does anyone know who that was?

Hey Justin I don't know who the rider was but I live in Plymouth and you must be in the area so I was wondering if you want to go riding some time?

I lived in MG but now I'm staying in St. Boni. I can't really go riding until I get my new tires. They should be in on wendsday, then a couple more days for them to put them on. After that I'm good to go!

I'm low on wheel weights though, I'll try to pick some up.

Nils I stopped in to STP hd today, big place. Not to impressed with the parts department so far. Orderd tires 2 weeks ago and called last sunday to see where they where. I ask if they were on back order. "No no they will be here in the next couple of days." from one of the parts guys. Well today when I call to see if they were in " Um they are on back order, and we don't know when they will be in." Whats with that? Now it's an extra 20 some dollars to get the same tires from some other distrubuiter from STP HD.

Brad don;t worry I'll be calling you next week hopfully. That is if they get my new order in and they aren't on back order.
