I just got back, and I am SOAKED! No pics from me, but there were many cameras in action. It was a very meaningful event. | ||
| Chellem |
I would probably settle for a brief but heartfelt description of the event, to hold me over until pics are uploaded... | ||

Good post about the event here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=4062&post=1621504#POST1621504 REALLY looking forward to seeing and reading more about it. Wish we ALL could have been there today. | ||

yeah. what the hell? were is all the info? pics? did the local news show as people were hoping they would? a little update would be nice. | ||
| Bads1 |
The local news did show... FOX 6. There was 96 bikes that rolled in. There were also the ones that caged it. Probably close to 140 people total I'd say. Very emotional day. But at the same time spirits were good also. All the employees were very thankful for what was done today. I have pictures but give me some time. They will come shortly. | ||

Very meaningful day for me. Very proud to own and ride a Buell. After today, I don't think I'll ever sell my XB. When Erik spoke, I almost shed a tear. He spoke from the heart, he's just like one of us... Buell owners are a tight community, but BMC in even closer. You can truly tell that they all care and love one another. The entire room was very emotional, you could feel it. I saw a handful of workers crying and hugging one another when it was all over. I was hard for me to pull out of the parking lot to head home, knowing that Buell will not be there the next time I go through East Troy. Proud to be an American, Proud to be from Wisconsin. | ||

Disapointed I couldn't be there, I'm sure it was bittersweet. Look forward to pics and comments. | ||
| Ourdee |
In the video above Erik was following Court, and closing up the event. This all took place after everyone ate. | ||

I couldn't be there and I'm very disappointed about that. Ourdee, thank so much for getting that video for all who couldn't be there, Erik pretty much summed it all up. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Awesome, Ourdee. Thanks for having the foresight to do that and thanks for posting it for us. | ||
| Gaza |
AWESOME. POST POST.... | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Nice Ourdee, thanks you. Was there enough food for everyone? Sucks to know that will be one of the last times we ever see the inside of that shop. Hopefully not the last we will see of BMC though!! | ||
| Ourdee |
No_rice makes an offering: | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Man, that would have been cool if you would have gotten Erik to do that!! lol | ||
| Crusty |
Thank you for putting those videos up. I couldn't be there. First, I was told I couldn't have the time off and retain my job. Then, last Tuesday, I came down with H1N1 (Swine Flu) which I still haven't gotten over; so even if I could have gotten the time off, I would have been too sick to ride that far. The video and pics and stories are a big help. | ||

BudC, didn't you say no messing around...? I don't think that's cool! In the parking lot of the Buell Factory, on this special occasion...? I don't get it. (Message edited by boney95 on October 26, 2009) | ||

Thanks, great post that brings some closure to those who couldn't attend. | ||

Here are the two groups arriving from Hal's. The arrival of so many Buellers in the wet chilly conditions really meant a lot to the elves. I heard this voiced at the table I sat at during the meal. Very emotional event. I'm proud of everyone involved; from those that made the phone calls, those that sent in monetary assistance in their absence, and those that made the trip. No_rice's burn-out was well received by the employees looking out the plant windows. I saw many smiles in there. We are talking Buell. Yes, there seamed to be enough food and soda/drinks. |
