Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 At first light I counted 115 bikes outside the host hotel.
But there were a lot more by 11:00 when everyone gathered for the group ride to East Troy.
At the Buell plant...food, seminars, factory tours, and friends. Talking to many of the factory workers is always a great part of Homecoming.
Court and Dave were signing copies of their book...great book!!!
And of course Erik was out there (for several hours) signing books, posters, and many disassembled motorcycle part!
The Thursday night dinner with Erik was excellent...more up scale than the normal Brats and Burgers...but still very down to earth. In fact, there were Buell employees at each table for great conversation, the slide show of Buell's history is always impressive, and the Q&A was a great time.
The night was capped off with some rock’n by Erik and Thunderbolts.

I have close up shots of the paint set. It is hands down as Pro as it can get. I am so proud of my Son. He worked his tail off for close to 65 hours on it. I'll post pics later. It is his first as far as motorcycles and he was taught by in my opinion one of the best. |

Josh, you're right. Ya see when you have such a soft spot for the air-cooled Buells those liquid cooled hypersports just don't cut it.(til they come by me at 100mph on the back wheel!) I'm just jonesing for Homecoming sneak peeks and fearful of a Helicon powered Uly. NUTS |

Dana, your kid is AWESOME. WOW! I am REALLY impressed! Some day, I'd really like to use his services some day soon if he'll do it. Also, I've got some pics from July 4th Inside Pass courtesy of Track Pop, but am far too lazy to post the 163 pics http://flickr.com/photos/stevemackay/sets/72157605 993249527/ |

Dana, tell your son that he has impressed a tough crowd. I really like his work too. So.... when is he re-painting your bike? Just kidding! |

Thanks guys,I'll be sure to show him your responses to the work. Brian, My bike won't ever be repainted. It is just how I want it. My Son has the talent No Doubt. What he needed for this paint job was idea's. I gave him my input along with some from my Buddy Will (the instructor) and he went with it. |

I know Dana, I was just "hackin' on ya!" a little. I like the paint job on your bike. It gets attention in any crowd and that isn't easy to do these days. |

Man.. This is rough.. I don't know what to do about the really small sizes.. not sure how to cure that.. since I'm still in the host hotel and only have my Aperture with me and to bring it down to size, I've got to keep shrinking the images down.. Hmmmmm.. I'll look into it and see what I can do about finding another route to go.. |
