Nobody's started a thread yet this year so I'll do it. 5-31 thru 6-2 Someone else can do the countdown, I can't count that high. For those that would like to camp. I've stayed at the country view campground in Mukwonago many times, and it's always be a fun time. http://www.countryviewcamp.com/ Matt |

The girls still look good. I just took it as a given that I should not stare. Too easy to hide a body out there. Real clean campgrounds. |

In years past Thursday was kind of a travel day. We usually just went to Guss',watched RD eat, and hung out. We can do something that afternoon too. I'm always up for a ride. I'll be bringing .5 again. I'm going to try and ride it more this year. Maybe Erik will have time to take it for a spin this time. Matt |

I'm glad somebody brought this up. When I stopped in at EBR just after Christmas, Kim had asked me when the next time I would be back up there. I told her Homecoming - as usual. She asked me "When is that? That is something that the owners do." or something along those lines. My reply was "The only thing that makes sense is the Elkhart Lake race weekend." So it will definitely be an enthusiast-driven event again this year. Honestly, based on all that was going on while I was there, I wouldn't expect anything else. What this means is that Homecoming will only be what we make of it. Since it's 2013 I'm hoping it will be a blockbuster Homecoming. In years past Thursday was kind of a travel day. Slight correction: In years past Thursday has been meet up and hang out at EBR day. Sure, we'd end up at Gus's for lunch and Roma's for dinner, but spending the morning at EBR has always been a 'must-do' for me as well as others. My vacation time is already approved & I'm looking forward to it! 1313 |

I try to get there on Wednesday. I do like the broasted chicken at Gus' Drive In. It's off my diet except during HC. During HC, meeting new and old friends is what makes it for me. We raid EBR on Thur. morning, and Erik has been very generous with his time there. If you get invited to a locals house during HC, don't take it for granted. Some of the best times are had there. Bring any Buell questions you have and there will be plenty of answers. |

Bring as many as will fit on your bike. Or in the car/truck pulling a trailer with your bike. Many family friendly activities such as camping, eating, visiting EBR, going to the races, etc. Hopefully we'll have a daily schedule, albeit very loose, that will give an idea of where we might be during the day(s) during homecoming. |

Yes, the TS garage will be open! Camping in the back yard if anybody is interested. Your bike in the garage overnight. |

I've got it on my calendar again. I'll try not to show up with a Penske truck and a limp. ...although it came in handy when it started to rain! I'll probably do the Alpine again. |

Penske truck is OK. Limp, not so much. I really enjoyed hanging in the TS Garage last year. |

Loose1: Your schedule looks good to me. Doris said she is looking forward to it and suggested that I offer my BadWeb gang to meet up here on Friday, May 31 at 8:30 for a breakfast buffet. You could ride from here or just hang out. She is asking for a head count so let me know when you can. I'll have my GPS (Froggy likes me now ) LAT/LONG coordinates and address for you old farts with a map and telephone #. Looking forward to seeing all you guys again! |

^ So who is this garage host person? I've only been to one HC so far, I don't know everyone that goes. |

Old farts? Are you gonna take that, Ourdee? (FYI I resemble that remark more than you do!) Two Seasons: I didn't make it to your place last year and headed to RA on Friday, but it sounds like I should have. I don't like to make the same mistake twice, so count me in for Friday morning. All else: Might I suggest we pony up a "cover charge" for breakfast? |

Our treat for breakfast. No worries. Doris makes me look like I know what I'm doing Sure hope Screamer makes it this year too. Dean, don't know if we ran into each other last year, but looking forward to seeing you too. We'll be at Road America Saturday for sure. |

After the chili and brats last year, he can call me anything but late. Count me in for eggs benedict. OK, scrambled is fine. Schedule is roughed in nicely. Are there any EBR dealers located near HC2013? Might be nice to visit/support. |
