I will be in a blue Chevy truck with a BUELL tag on front with a trailer towing a red or orange(can't remember) S1 and a Black S3 with PM wheels, XB oil cooler, and a one of a kind muffler. |

Running the Ridge
Boone, North Carolina
September 22-24, 2004
Once you arrive, you'll be tearing up those twisted mountain roads that surround Boone - the roads your Buell thirsts for - on two separate adrenaline-generating loops.
A meeting at Tilley's Buell in Statesville, North Carolina on Wednesday will be the adventure's official kick-off, and then it's all downhill from there ... downhill, uphill, peg-scraping switchback after switchback, with nonstop action all weekend long. The cost is $40 for BRAG/H.O.G.® members, and $65 for non-members. Registration closed August 27. But, it has been extended (for us slackers) until Friday the 3rd... so hurry!} Call 1-888-432-BRAG to register... and don't miss your chance to run the ridge!
Raise your hand if youre in!

Does anyone want to try to get together before the movie and try to ride in together? We could meet at the dealer or where-ever. Input please.

Hello...my name is Will Holbrook (B_S) and I am a Workaholic. I neglect my friends and family and worst of all my Buell XB9. It is a problem that I am well aware of but cannot do a dam thing about!
By Saturday I will have worked 13 days straight. I haven't laid eyes on the 9 since last Thursday when I parked her after the Tex. I tried to save face last night when I rerouted my clutch cable for a better pull but alas it was to late to ride when I finished. Thank you for this time to vent and support!
On a more serious note:
Glitch...fill me in on the races this weekend and when you guys are going to be there. I would love to come and reconnect with my Buell brethren over some serious horsepower.
Don't think I can make Tomorrow night because I am up to my eyeballs in fake limbs and will probably be working late. Although I could be talked in to it since my tires could be getting flat spots from sitting there. 
How much are tickets for the races and how do I get them?

I'll know something by tomorrow. Right now it looks like Saturday going to be my day to play.
Torqer, I worked on the poster way too late last night. I'll post a smaller version later on this morning for approval. |

Sounds killer. Thanks.
Looks like I'm out for Sunday at the races. I need to finish the retaining wall and fence project I've been working on. I have a solid dead line of Vinnie's birthday coming up.  |

I would say Sportbike appreciation day AT
SMHD. Some people can be a little dense.
Remember to put
(pre-registration required) under the Pocketbike races part and maybe a phone number
We also need to have space for the 'sponsors' and their logos. We could put them around the edges on on Dave's layout or at the bottom under the pics on Pete's.
But that was a big selling point to get people to participate and donate prizes- the exposure/advertising they would get out of it.
We need to do some large flyers and small handbills. Cycle Gear, TWO, Wings Landing, Atlanta Freestyle all need some flyers to hand out as well.
Do you guys think you would be able to print something/anything out today to hand out tonight at the movie?? |

I have a question-
I am planning on putting the SL rear suspension kit on my bike to lower it, it's just too tall. I have major bruises on the inside of both my legs from the foot pegs and I can barely touch the ground. Michael took the springs out of my foot pegs so they move now, so that problem is solved but I still have a problem with touching the ground.
Glitch and Shred talked about this last night and think I need to put the front suspension kit on as well as the rear.
I am curious, Glitch and everyone else-
What kind of impact will it have on my bike if I only put the back suspension kit on my bike and not the front?
The back is $250, which I have right now and the front is almost $400 which I don't have right now. So I need some advice and opinions. I might be able to sell my soul and get the front suspension kit at the end of the month but I would really rather not. |

They're both mine.
I'm using the second one as I'm running out of time.
We also need to have space for the 'sponsors' and their logos. We could put them around the edges on on Dave's layout or at the bottom under the pics on Pete's.
I can make room no problem. All I need is the clip art for their logos, and I'll insert them.
I'll let you take care of getting those.
Just e-mail them to glitch1@charter.net
(pre-registration required) under the Pocketbike races part and maybe a phone number
It's not a race to enter but a race to watch.
Do you guys think you would be able to print something/anything out today to hand out tonight at the movie??If you wanna come by my house around six and pick them up.
It's from 10am to 4pm
May wanna check with Pete.
Gotta go right now, the sky is falling and someone's got to clean it up.
Check back in an hour or so....

To not have it will change the geometry of the bike... the back will sit lower than the front. to bring the bike down evenly will keep it the excellent handling machine it is. The bike would be ridable if you lower only the back... it would just be best to bring it down evenly. As a temporary fix you could slide the the forks up through the triple clamp. It will make it steer quicker... Taller shoes? |

Anyone is going to be able to race they just need to pre-register. Pete said the pre-registration cut off is one week before the event. He doesn't want every Tom Dick and Harry coming out with their pocketbike expecting to race.
It's from 10am to 4pm
May wanna check with Pete
Pete- I guess we need clarification on this one. 10-4 is what is on the paperwork we all discussed and what I have been telling vendors and participants.
wanna come by my house around six and pick them up.
Can you email it to me, I don't think anyone is going to be able to come by to get them before they head to the movie.
If there is anyway you can make it so there are 4 per 8X11 sheet that would be cool but if not oh well, I don't have editing software installed on this computer yet or I would do it.
One more thing could you change the til to Till and I'll print some out and give some to Michael before he heads down.
Taller shoes?
Oh my God why didn't I think of that???

At least send me a sponsor list.
I can make it so you can print out as many as you want on what ever size paper you want.
Can't e-mail it, ain't done with it, too busy to finish today, trying to work and do this too.
I'll finish it tonight after I get home.

no prob, need a number though.
'til is short for until why would I want to change it to till? |

Just trying to be grammatically correct. I guess if you put the apostrophe there it makes sense.
I'm going to print out some for Michael to take down tonight and I'll email you the sponsorship list

A sponsor logo list may take too much time at this point... we only have one logo. I Agree on the event being from 11~4 as no-one is going to be here at ten. (speaking from experience) The vendors/booth havers should be here by 10 at the latest. The pocket bike racers are going to be the 6 or 8 who Shred has already contacted. No-one else need apply. If people call interested in racing for the prize, we'll consider that at that time... I doubt the gates will be flooded with potential participants. 'til or Till... let's not split Hares... the artist is under a time constraint.
Thanks everyone for your efforts. this is going to be fun.
Stealth! where are you fearless leader. |

 split Hares...
It been a stressful day.
It is a stressful day.
Looks like a stressful night.
I will have the poster done after while.
I will post a link to a full sized version for printing.
Two sizes one will be 8 1/2 X 11
the other will be 3 X 5.
I have these saved in psd format so if someone wants one eight feet by 10 feet, they can have it. |

A4TR....I can make you some extensions for your legs with prosthetic feet. Feeling the foot controls might be a little tricky at first, but I think you could manage. Just buy some longer pants and no one would know the difference.
How was the show last night? Couldn't make it, I was working late.
Glitch...gotta take my boyz to the vet for some shots Sat morning then I am free all day for some racing action! |
