I just had to stop in and say hell! It has been a very long time! I still don't ride any more although I'm involved with other motorsports and such. I see a few names that I know. I made a lot of great friends here back in 2006 when I had my wreck. Some of the best people I have ever met! We're back in Vegas now having sold the house in Florida. |

Howdy! Stop in now and again, I haven't ridden a Buell in years. This is the only forum I frequent any more. |

Wow, am I glad I stopped in to read this post. I'm betting that Blimp story is about to go VIRAL... |

Great to hear from you Nick. Holy crap- I'd forgotten the balloon story. That may be the funniest thing ever posted on Badweb. I have a friend that fits that story to a tee- I'm not sure it's ever happened to him, but the events would have been the same if it did. |

Sleez thanks for the link. The blimp story was hilarious! First time I heard/read the story, because it was posted about a year before I owned a Buell or became a member here. |

Hey Nick, good to see you're still around. I remember giggling fit to bust over the blimp & then having to translate the story into French so that Mme G could understand. Don't be a stranger, cheers. |

Hahahah Hey guys! I see a few names that are still familiar. Yeah, the blimp story still gets em laughing! For those that don't know me, I am testament to the great group of people here on this board and in the Buell community. In 2006 when I almost got killed on my Buell, my wife and I had more support than we ever imagined. I'll dig up the photos later. So we're back in Vegas like I said, still working for the same airline. Still married to that same awesome lil red head. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and just received the "all clear" this week after 8 rounds of chemo and a month of radiation. My big joke there was that I had started about a year before I was diagnosed with all of this healthy living crap. all organic food, organic milk, grain fed chicken, no red meat. Hiking 6 miles every day after work, blh, blah then got cancer. Healthy living will kill you! Any way, I'll be sure to be less of a stranger! Nick |

Daytona in 2006 was a magical event. I'm glad I was able to be there for it. Nick, I'm glad you've recovered from that accident. You were still wearing that turtle shell when I saw you last. |

Crusty, I still have the banner. It's hanging in my garage here in Vegas! I think I still have the card all of you guys signed! Yeah, not many lasting effects of the accident other than some limited reach with my left shoulder. I can't complain too much. |

Good stuff Vegas . Nice to hear you're still kicking. Does Sammie still do boots? I seem to recall she used to have a hand in a leather boot business . Nice leather boots even . |

Don, she's still doing some eBay stuff but nothing to the volume she was working with in Florida. She is still doing the occasional modeling gig when the manufacturer she was working with wants her to. The economy down turn put a hurt on people's fashion budget. Brad, I'll see if I can dig out some of the photos of my front yard from 2006 with it covered in Buells of all kinds. Blake, good to see ya, buddy! |
