So..I am thinking of organizing a Buell gathering here in Lees Summit, MO the first Saturday of October. A friend of mine owns a bar and will host the gathering with free hot dogs , burgers, etc. Plenty of dedicated parking with a patio view, no one will touch your bike. Open to ALL Buell's, except the Blast. Oh, alright Blast's too.  I realize we are spread out all over the world, but though it would be nice for some of the Midwest folks to think about. Just running this up the flag pole to see... So? Would you attend? | ||

I'd be interested. Looks like about a 500 mile ride. What's lodging situation like? | ||

You come out and I will put you up in a comfort inn less than a mile from the bar. N/C. Offer goes to 10 rooms for those who have to travel longer distances. My treat,one night. Bikes stored at my house or at my shop. (Message edited by kc zombie on September 07, 2013) | ||

I used to live in Wichita Ks, not too far away from there....had one Buell back then...I move away, buy three more Buells and someone wants to throw a party back "home"..... | ||

So? Would you attend? Wish something like this would have come up 6-7 years ago,I'm hour and half south of KC. Sadly I sold both of my tubers this summer for lack of riding with like minded people. Hope you generate some interest in this. I may be on a Buell again in the future.} | ||

I already have something planned that weekend or I'd load the wife and the S1W up in the truck and stay at her sisters in Raymore MO | ||

KC - Thank you for the offer, I'll try to make it happen. I work for the electric utility in Illinois, and vacations have been canceled in the past because of storm restoration, but I will do my best. I'll try to keep you posted. Hey- how do I know if I get PM'd on here, anyway? | ||

OK. I have had several responses of varying interest from the 1125R, Ully, Tube Frame, XB and Thumper boards on BadWeb. Anything from “ maybe”, “I would but I cant”, “name the time”, “sold my Buell”, “what’s there to do?”, etc. There were also responses related to weather and short notice issues. First off, thank you all for your input, greatly appreciated. With the above responses in mind, I would like to postpone the meeting until sometime during the Summer of 2014. This will allow time to plan more for the event, put together some scenic rides, interesting destinations, cool activities and sponsorship interest to make it more inviting for all. This will also give you the time to think about and/or plan on using your valuable time to attend this event. Most likely will extend it to a two day event, there is plenty of lodging and camping near by. I can offer indoor secure parking at my shop for those who don't want to leave their bike out at night. So, I am going to move this thread to the Storm Fronts section to centralize it to a single thread and see if there is enough interest to make this thing viable. Also I have asked BadWeb if they will give me a dedicated section in Storm Fronts to consolidate the discussion. We will see if that pans out... In the mean time here a few questions: What Month would you likely attend? What would be a deal maker for a gathering? What would be a deal breaker for a gathering? Are you even interested at all? Hit me with some ideas and suggestions, if it looks promising, then I will float some hard dates to vote on and set it up from there. PM me if you like, and I will respond quickly. Just an FYI about me, I don’t do anything on the cheap and I will put up the financial and time commitment necessary to make this a worth while event for ALL BUELL riders and enthusiast alike. I am that serious about making this a reality and I promise this will not be a light weight event. Obviously if no one is interested then I will let the thread wither and die, much like HD did with Buell  One more thing..... If any of you local and not so local folks would still like to get together on Saturday October 5, 2013 at Doc’s Tavern in Lees Summit MO at 2:00PM, please PM me and I will make sure we have our own parking, and I will ask the owner to offer some specials. At least a few of us can meet and toss back a few “pops” and trade war stories. Just need a head count so again, please PM me...

Well there does not seem to be much interest for a big Buell gathering in Lees Summit... No worries... I will be at Doc’s Tavern, Saturday October 5th at 2:00PM (weather permitting). Just a local get together nothing special planned, just thinking it will be nice to shoot the sh*t and look at bikes. Bike not running? Come up anyway. Docs Tavern 511 SE Melody Ln Lee's Summit, MO 64063 I will buy a beer for anyone who can make it. No need for a head count. Hope to see you there... BTW, Sean got your message, see you there! | ||

Dude it is a good thing to try to make things happen for Buellers . Don't get discouraged I get the same thing here when I try to get folks to go ride . Seems the world is too busy sometimes . I just keep trying . Maybe if you set a date far enough in advance and just let it ride so to speak it may happen . The biggest issue here is we are spread out all over the world and there is no one place works best . So set a date and let it ride ? | ||

We got six!  Thanks to all who made it. Look for a monthly or semi-monthly schedule starting spring 2014! | ||
| Kc_zombie |

Nice collection of Buells! too bad i'm 8,000 mile from west coast ( all water ) will be doing a 480k run to a fellow Bueller's this week some real twisty hilly roads up the east coast then inland & back. | ||

Dang I just now saw this! I stayed in this whole weekend and studied, would have been fun to meet up with you guys. Next time for sure. | ||
| Easy_rider |
Looks like an S1, an S2, an S3, and an M2 all made it? Who forgot to bring the X1? Tough to commit, but I'd certainly be interested in coming from Indy. | ||
