http://www.autorama.com/casi/milwaukee.htm This might be a show some of you guys have seen in your area. It has been in mine for 35 years plus. I entered the bike this year. I actually got lotted against custom HD's. Meaning any stock framed HD other then bagger model's. There was metrics there also. I didn't think it was right but nothing I could do about it. I thought I was a goner. I even said to the hired judge..."Why not just show Corvettes with Street Rods"?? He Said "Nothing I can do,its organized by ISCA". The show was wrapping up and Sunday the awards were presented. I wasn't there but my friend and painter of my bike was handling my bike because he had 3 other bikes entered. I was with my Daughter. Took her to her first concert,Hannah Montana. Anyways He called me and told me "Last Laugh" had won and took 1st place. Wow!!! I beat the HD's and there was some nice bikes. I guess the judge said that the Buell was a fresh look and to bad more aren't seen. Got a real nice plack out of it. Kinda made my day. Beating the HD's made it sweet.  | ||

Bads1, Looked at pictures of your bike lots over the last couple of months. Great looking bike. You are right about Badweb folks being the best. I was at the January bike show with my Buell hat on and was stopped by three guys I had never met before.They were also Buell owners and members of the Badweb. There must have been a thousand guys there with Harley hats and I sure didn't see them stopping and talking to complete strangers. I am blown away by the friendliness and willingness to help that is shown by all on this site. I plan to own my Buell until I am too old to swing my leg over the seat. Great bike Bads1 and congrats ! | ||

I feel that we need to see the obligatory wild clown face pic. Followed immediately by the Barnum one finger salute pic.  •••• you Dyna! | ||

"I was at the January bike show with my Buell hat on and was stopped by three guys I had never met before.They were also Buell owners and members of the Badweb." That was us Newbuellertoo! Me, my nephew (Carbide) and my brother in law. I was going to post about meeting you on the BadWeb but just never got around to it. Good meeting you. Maybe we'll see you on the road sometime!  | ||

Thanks everybody!!! The bike has been alot of fun to do. Blake must of heard I was thinking of selling... we'll see. Corperatemonkey, Next show is probably going to be the Chicago Super Cycle show in March. It'll be shown with a very radical SV650 3D scorpion themed paint job. Ron, I wish the 240 was on there. It can still happen. Blake just for you.   | ||
| Bads1 |
The bike I have been working on and have been for awhile is a basket case SV650 for a girl with my buddy Will. Should be done in a month. Its really over top with matching helmet.      | ||

| Bads1 |
Why thank you John. Taking my Daughter to that was worth more to me then the show win. That was one of her X-mas presents from the wife and I. Next will be my son's concert... Van Halen. Now I'm excited about that one. | ||
| Pwnzor |
You freakin' rock dude.... Congratulations, and kudos for putting your kid's concert before a bike show! | ||
| Diablobrian |
congrats Dana! what, no pic of the plaque? That SV should be something else when it's done too! | ||
| Panhead_dan |
Whoever painted that clown is a gifted artist. That is really something. | ||
| Panhead_dan |
DO NOT tell me it's a computer generated sticker. I'll suck a shotgun. | ||
| Bads1 |
Brian the plaque is with Will my painter right now. Its nothing real special but you know I like them better then trophy's. Panhead....... No sticker my friend. | ||

Hannah Montana was a hit in the Milwaukee area . . . I spoke to Dave G's daughter the morning of the show and she'd had friends over and the excitement was dialed to MAX. I'm not even sure who she is . . . is she the daughter of the guy who discovered the state? | ||
| Dhalen32 |
Court: She is actually the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus! Dave | ||
| Akbuell |
Something Court didn't know? Horrors!! Remind us to tell him about it sometime.  | ||

Great work on the bike! I have seen it floating around here for quite a while. Congrats on the bike show win, even with a buncha H-D blood flooding the place, thats a hell of a win. And taking the daughter to see her fav band while your bike was out having a blast.....er I mean lightning. whatta dad. |
