Post your pictures from Homecoming here.

I will try to post as many as I can, but there aren't any pictures of me! So maybe if others post their pictures...I might end up in one here or there.

July 2nd, 2008

Early in the day and Registration:
















Riders meeting at Hal's:



















The group ride from Hal's to the Drag Strip:






















Great Lakes Dragaway (race was rained out):
















Almost sunset at the Host hotel...there are now a lot of bikes there:

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 : )

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..

Dana, your son did a great job on those plastics! Is he ready for flames??
