Wish I wasn't in school last night or else I would have met you down there. Headliners is definitely a fun time and since Friday is my b-day I would have let you buy me a beer too.

Headliners is a definite must check out though. Lots of burnouts, stunting, and some eye-candy type shows. Last time I went down I just barely missed 2 local dancers and a adult actress doing a little show. Luckily one of the guys in our group stayed down there and caught the action on video.

Any update on Don?

I couldn't go last night, I'm bikeless for the time being. Speedy has a flat and the Daytona is track prepped...

Happy B-day youz two!

The bad news is he broke a rib and punctured a lung. The good news is in the 10 miles he was upright his fan didn't turn on once.

So what is everybody else doing? Sitting around flouring their nuts, or are they still riding? Should we send him flowers?

Brad has been riding with Don's son. They met a guy from BadWeb that lives down there and he was going to show them around.

I'd have to put a plug in my tire to ride this weekend. Don't have a warm & fuzzy about doing that. I'm waiting to receive my new Pit Bull single sided swingarm stand so I can change the tire...My Daytona is not street legal anymore...(No lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc...) If I get the stand today, I can get my tire changed...

My tires are finally in at swampys house. Once I am off this 7 days a week midnight crap at work, I am riding up to eureka to get my tires done on a weekend day. Plan is to go up there do my tires ride a little then come home. If anyone is interested on riding up there with me let me know. I will post more once I figure out when it will be.

Hey guys this is Mark, Dons son. I just got off the phone with my dad and he said that they finally took the chest tube out and their talking about releasing him in a few hours. He still needs to stay down there for a few days for some checkups before he takes the 9hr car ride home.

Just to recap he broke (dr referred to as crushed) 8 ribs and punctured his lung causing it to collapse. Road rash was very minimal with only a small scrape on his shin and knee. He wasnt going very fast but his mesh/leather jacket and helmet did their job.

Me and Brad have pics from the trip but he has to get his developed and my camera is still down with my parents. I'll be sure to show my dad how to post them up when he gets back.

p.s. For those who didnt go really missed out on some truely amazing roads. Riding around here just isnt the same after the dragon lol.

If anyone wants to go up to swampys with me, I am heading up there this sunday. The plan is to be at his house around 1, change tires and then maybe ride some before heading home.

Is anyone up for a little road trip on Oct 6th? The dealership where I bought my Duke from is having a big party with free food, test rides, ect........They are a KTM, Triumph, Ducati dealer I believe. Anyhow, it just gave me a reason/excuse to go for a little road trip. Let me know if this sounds like fun or not. I believe it's about a 2 hour journey from my house. SPEEDY, I believe this is actually a Triumph open house also, so I thought of you for sure. Anyhow, take a look at the link and let me know if anyone is interested. Thinking of heading down about 10:00 and back home 5ish.

Ok its about 120 some miles from my house to swampys. I am supposed to be there at 1 so I will plan on leaving my house at 10:30. Peeps if you want to meet me at my house at 1030 we will leave from here. blackbelt we can meet up any where you want to. I plan on taking 275 to 96w to 127 north. You give me a place to meet you. I was told today as I was leaving work that I may have to work sunday now, but my boss is trying to get me out of it. I am on afternoons starting tomorrow, so as soon as I know I will post. It may not be until friday night though.

Hmmmm, The best location to meet for Blackbelt and myself would be around 127 & I69. It's pretty much a straight shot West from where we live. There just happens to be the best curves I know of in lower michigan on Round Lake Rd in Lainsburge, which happens to be pretty close to Swampy's house. I'll talk with Blackbelt, we may meet up with you somewhere along the way.

From Blackbelts house to mine the quickest way is west on 57, to 127 south, but it is all straight.

Well, just came in from a couple hour ride on the Superduke.......man, what a machine. I loved my Buell a ton and still think it was a great bike, but this bike is a monster.

It's funny the things that me and everyone else seemed to complain about on the XB's (Fans, broken belts, 6 speed tranny, ect) isn't what I like best about the Super Duke. Don't laugh, but the fact that I don't have to put the gas cap on the ground to put gas in my bike is the nicest thing I had forgot about.

I can't image the new 1125R, that is going to be one hell of a bike with 146 HP twin. My KTM has around 120 HP I notice a huge difference, the 1125R is going to be outright scary. All in all, of course, I miss my XB but extremely happy with the KTM. I'll let a few of you guys take her for ride Sunday if you want to see what ya think.
