There was a lot of great looking bikes in that lineup. Strange to see so many black and blue 1125r's in one spot. I wish I could have made it, thanks for posting that!
Barker- We first saw the new Pegasus logo on a shirt Erik was wearing at a Buell gathering in Germany a month or so ago. It's also in the full-page magazine ads with Danny Eslick. Erik's wearing a jacket and shirt with the logo in the barn tour videos that were posted this week. It seems to be cropping up in more and more places.
I was thinking about it more Squidbuzz after we talked about it in line, and I'm thinking liquid cooling. Then again, I don't speak Buell Elf as well as others...
hhmm... I didn't think of it as a total new solution... Might be. I was thinking of ways to fix the current installed base. Mid July won't get here fast enough.
Yeah, I've never had the problem with the heat, other than having to adjust 'things' on a hot day.
I would like to note, and add my thanks, to Svh for swapping the 08 seat for my 06 low seat, which notably reduced the temperature of my junk on the trip back. Unfortunately, I could have used the heat to keep my core warm, but I was ergonomically comfortable at least.
For future homecomings, I think it'd be slick to plan a little swap meet ahead of time--just post what you have, what you want, and plan a place for all to meet. Just seems like a sensible solution for all the gear that changes hands around here.
What was the topic again? Oh yeah...
Good campground pick, Loose1! Nice folks, good sites and perfect location.
The lineup outside the museum Saturday morning, mine up front.
Speaking of the HD Museum, I was impressed with the amount that either was dedicated to or at least acknowledged Buell. Thanks for the heads-up on that Barker, I prolly would've skipped it without your mentioning it earlier.
...and I didn't think anything could make S2 bodywork look any better. How wrong I was!
Still sorting through the rest. Suffice it to say, THANK YOU ALL. Another great Homecoming, and even better because it was nice and personal. Small. Cozy. Friendly.
Oh, can't forget Mr. Coffee...er, Canfield. LOL. Thanks, Court - for everything!
I had a great time at Homecoming and was very happy I made it. Met a bunch of guys from on here and had some great conversations with Erik, Court, Barker, No_Rice, RPM4x4,etc.. My wife even had an ok time and commented on how all of the Buell people were great. Anyway here are my pics: Frame was vivid blue on this bike looked awesome
White lightning I am slightly smitten with

Once again I had a wonderful time. Thank you to everybody I met and EVERYONE at Buell that made it possible and that make it possible for us to all enjoy these wonderful bikes.
I met these guys on the way home. They were on Suzuki's but their trip was interesting. I had to ask where they were heading when I saw they were carrying tires. They are from North Carolina and are on a road trip to Alaska and back. The longest trip they have been on before a few days ago was 400 miles. Now over the next month they are est to hit 11,000 before they get home. Wow.
Svh, that blue tuber is Bob's and now he will have an even bigger head on his shoulders. I kept threatening to finger print up the bike since he so dam fussy on it being clean.
Saturday was wet at the track so we didn't take many pics but my wife got some excellent pics on sunday. We have a Canon SX110 IS which is a super zoom point and shoot not an SLR and also a recent Consumer Reports best buy. Amazing the pics she can take with this camera. Some of Higby:
and if this one doesn't make you jealous you need help. I actually was giddy with this pic
Eslick
Superbike leaders. So happy Mladin didn't win
Too bad so many people left Supersport was a decent race too
Finally just make it black and it would be perfect!
