Vendors will be here on Sat Dyna. I have to remember to bring in some sugar to mix up the Buell Koolaid! Rippin, NOON! Jeez, can't you get out of bed early? Official runs will be about 1-1:30pm so you'll have some practice time. Ride to the edge! Dave |

Dave, I do better under pressure plus I can't get a sitter for Sara till 8ish! She'd love to watch but I think I'd have problems bringing a 5 month on a bike that far. Ryan |

Thanks Keith! Buell Bash/BattleTrax weekend recap, Saturday was our annual Buell Bash, the weather was great! We had a bunch of riders take out our new Buells for a demo ride. The KC mob came up for the day. We got Jeff a new tire mounted up on his S3 while he was there, thanks for the Biz Jeff! Attendance was a little off from last year but I think it was just too nice of a day. Everyone was out riding! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Our second BattleTrax event! Whhooo Hooo! The weather held out for us at last. Temps in the 70s! We started the morning at 6am to set up the course. Jeremy and Larry did a great job on the course. It was HUGE! 2 barrels and lots of very tight corners made it interesting for everyone. We had 44 riders,up 1 from last year but we had over 340 people thru the gate! The riders put in 502 runs by the end of the day so I think everyone got plenty of riding time. The course was big enough that we could get 3 or 4 on the course at one time, this cut down on the wait between rides. We had riders with sportbikes,YSRs,cruisers and dual sport/motards, no touring bikes showed to compete this year. The stunt riders, Team XMX and Kansas City's Most Wanted put on 3 great shows for the crowd. Those guys are just plain nuts! We had a vendors row with lots of stuff to look at and buy. We had Buell riders come from Mo,Kansas,Il,Mn,Ne and of course some of the locals from Waterloo in attendance! What a great day, everything went pretty smooth, I had lots of great help, even a few that didn't know they were going to help me(KCBill)we couldn't have done it without them. All the winners, including 7 year old Mason got a framed certificate to show off that they are the fastest. All the riders got one with their fastest lap time of the day. The winners also recieved a $100.00 gift certificate from the HD/Buell Cycle Center(I'll send yours with your helmet and plaque Sam). The big news(and no surprise to me) is that in the Sportbike class a Buell kicked ass! Sam, from KC ruled! The guy was an animal out there. I have to look at the time cards but I think he won by several seconds faster than anyone else in his class and was running close to the fast times set by the rider that won the Dual Sport/Motard class! Way to go Sam! You ROCK!!!! Well I have to go get ready for work now but I'd like to say thanks again to those that helped make this day possible, without you we couldn't do events like this. I know that lots of people probably think, what's the big deal, just set up some cones and there you go. Well, I want to tell you that it's a lot of work! I, and others put in 13 hours yesterday alone to make this event happen. Thanks to all the people that helped me. You're the best! Ride to the edge!

Dave and all those who helped, Thanks for the Great time Sunday!! Just wish I could have got there sooner(like 11:30 instead of noon) to get a couple more practice runs in. Glad to be able to meet everyone also. Had a great time and hope to be able to come and take top time on the old M2 next time. Thanks again for the great time Ryan |

Dave, What Ryan said! It was nice to see you again. Thanks for all the work. Great turn out! The stunt guys are sick. Missing a few beans upstairs me thinks! But, fun to watch! Don't think I would want to pay their tire bills..... Brad |

I'm saving all the 180's we take off bikes at the shop to donate to them. No sense starting with new tires for the things they do. Are you going to the crud run Sunday? Dave |
