I will be in Northern Cal for this one. I ran into another bueller from arizona at the quail event in california. I told him about chases, so he might be there. Maybe on a white S2? we will see... | ||

5 of us made it out... 4 1125's and one Chevy truck.  | ||

very cool. Thanks for the update. we had ABE from Zero motorcycles out to talk to us about their new bikes, and the electric business. Photos to come. REX | ||

It was pretty cool to see the new EBR's running in person. The EBR's and the KTM's sound really good. | ||

Team az bike night tonight at sidewinder subs, if anyone's interested. 5/9/12 from 5pm-9pm | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
Good luck with the hurricane! | ||

So it looks like my bike will be done early next week, at last, a long story for another time. But it looks like I am going to Springfast, so any other AZ riders want to meet in Globe? Then ride up the through Salt river canyon route. PM me with your # or e-mail me. Thanks, Art..... | ||
| Jacob83z28 |
By the time I got off work it was over. Not to many out there tonight.  | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
AWESOME 1eyert. I'll let Kelly know that you will be joining the ride and I'm sure he will be fine with the SRC route. | ||
| Snottsdalebueller |
Sure, running through SRC sounds good to me. Lets say we meet up at the Chevron on US 60 and Idaho Rd. How's KSU at 9am sound? Then meet at the Chevron in Globe where US 60 turns left towards Show Low. Say maybe KSU up at 10:30am? Then we can have lunch in Show Low. I know a few good restaurants we can choose from. That will put us into Alpine around 3 or 4. We can stop in Eager to pick up supplies for the night, although breakfast and dinner will be at the Cafe in Alpine. So far it's Nick, Art, and Lisette & I. Anyone else joining us on our adventure? | ||

Sounds great, I should be able to make Globe on one tankful, I will leave Tucson at 0800 and should be there easily by 1030. I am really stoked about this trip, really hope the parts show up and the bike is ready on time. | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
I still have Tylor as a maybe... He will have to sack up and call in sick thou. | ||
| 1eyert |
So as I figured my friend bailed on Springfast so I have a bed available. Anyone needing it just let me know. My bike is still scheduled to be done early next week so I am still planning on attending. PM or email me at 1eyert@q.com, or you can call me at 520-869-5644. Thanks, Art..... | ||

Starting to get excited about this coming weekend!!! I love this ride! There is a good chance I may have an extra bed in my room as well if someone wants to jump in on this ride last minute... Bueller.. Buellers? | ||
| Bartimus |
3 days and counting... | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
Looks like Tylor is now a for sure! | ||
| 1eyert |
The parts came in yesterday, should be picking her up Thursday, ready to ride... hopefully...keep your fingers crossed. | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
Good luck! This will be one hell of a test ride! Hope they do a good job! What repair are you having done? | ||
| 1eyert |
So it looks like I will be coming to springfast without my buell, the oil line I needed was sent, twice, correct packaging, wrong part. So even with overnight express shipping she won't be ready till the weekend. They have offered me a harley loaner for the weekend and I am going to look at it later today, I will be able to enjoy the company if not the corners as much. | ||
| 1eyert |
Okay, I will be going to springfast, but I will be riding a Harley Heritage Softail, 6 speed, very smooth, NO LEAN ANGLE!! I will be definetly bringing up the rear this weekend. But at least I will be there. And at no cost too, Tucson HD is trying to do me right and not charge me for most of the work they have done, in talking with Buell techs in wisconsin they have finally diagnosed the oiling problem to one of the lines. The problem now is that the lines they sent were in the right package but were in fact the wrong line. So the correct line should be there Friday and the bike should be roadworthy Saturday or Sunday. I have the "barge" free till Tuesday...so I will meet you guys from Phoenix in Globe at 1030... | ||

 See you in the AM! | ||
