This is kind of a different question for those in the know.
I am a flight student down here in FL, one of our requirements is a big cross country utilizing all of the stuff we have been learning. Well, I would love to get my wind screen or tail section signed by Eric, and I was thinking about flying up to East Troy to the new Eric Buell racing to see if I could get them signed.
Is this sort of thing discouraged? Do fans show up? I figure the guy is pretty busy, just wondering if anyone had an idea. |

You can probably find him at an AMA race. |

>>>I figure the guy is pretty busy, just wondering if anyone had an idea.
He's very busy trying to mantain a business that folks THINK has 200 employees with a mere 10 Amazing Elves.
But . . it's a totally doable deal. If you decide to do it let me know and I'll see if it can be arranged. Smartest move would likely be to fly in during Homecoming . . but that's just a thought.
By the way . . .his name is ERIK, not Eric . . . it'll be important for you to know and that way you'll be sure you had the right person sign it.
Don't even ask me about my first cross country.

The only down side is lets see if the industry is going to support the glass panel equipment 20 years from now. The computer industry doesn't like supporting 5 year old computers wonder how they will do with 20 year old computers. |
