Thanks to all that have supported the drummer thru the good times and the controversies!!! Thanks especially to Dave For helping me with info and support in getting all this going. To the Iowa farm mafia...just for being the mafia. rhanks to dyna for being the thorn in my side that I still call a friend. altho I am not sure why. CJ for being CJ spidey for being a bald headed freak Blake for giving all of us this outlet to vent and laugh and bitch. Court for being whatever the hell he really is..I am leaning toward CIA agent... and the rest of ya'll its too many to mention.

Wow Bubba, NICE !!!! Glad you like me as just me !!!! Hope everyone eats their black eye peas on New Year's so they can have a prosperous 2004 !!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!!   | ||
| Bomber |
Bubba - well put (of course using George as a source never hurts) . . . .. congrats on your new career, and well done on joining the small (but growing?) ranks of Buell professionals that give a damn . . . black eyed peas? nah, everyone knows it's herring, don't they? | ||
| Newfie_buell |
Black Eye Peas, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeech Think I'll stick to cod livers, seal flipper pie, moose sausages and screech for the new year!!!!! I still can't believe Bubba was a hairdresser in a previous life!!!!!! Happy New Year to All Please make it a safe one, we all want to see you back. | ||
| Bads1 |
I have to work the Eve so does the wife.But I'm gonna be grilling New Years day.And thats what I'm really after is a nice juicy steak with a lobster tail with lots of butter,a twice baked potato with sour cream,a bowl of baked onion soup with the crouton and melted cheese over the top and tossed salad.Man can't wait. Happy New Year everyone | ||
| Buckinfubba |
liquor in the morning liquor in the evening liquor round supper time | ||
| Bomber |
just keep givin me liquor, and everything'll be fine | ||
| Bads1 |
Bubba,Bomber don't tell me your doing this on a empty stomach????I don't know what Bubba's choice of drink is but I think Bomber has got a old bottle of Scotch waiting on him. | ||
| Bomber |
nah, no empty tummy-drinking for me any more . . . .last time I did that, well, remind me to tell you sometime (gee, it works for Court!) | ||
| Bads1 |
I know exactly what ya mean Bomber.Thats why I haven't drank now in almost 9 yrs. Also can remember that night like it was yesterday.Green in the face and and sick as a dog. | ||
| Daves |
Thanks Bubba. I'll also probably be doing some grillin on New years Eve. I gave up drinking 17 years ago. Going pheasant hunting on New Years Day. Ride to the edge! Hunt like you have to. Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||
| Buckinfubba |
southern comfort is the nectar of the gods. I gave up drinking saturday and will more than likely lose the battle tomorrow night. hand to bottle combat!!! to much Irish and german in me I guess. but look at me ...does it look like its ever on an empty stomach | ||
| Cj_xb |
southern comfort is the nectar of the gods. You got that right !!! Although Screech does come in at a close second !! CJ  | ||

Happy New Year to all... I had a great conversation with MR. Iowa today... Dave of Waterloo... However if any of you have read my postings... or experienced my multiple personalities... he may have a different thought... or variations for the personalities he has been exposed to today. My motto... if I have not abused or offended someone today... WE HAVE FAILED!!! Buckinfubba ... I have not had the honor of speaking to you yet... But... I must snitch out Mr. Iowa... he said many good things about you. I can't speak for the BadWeb... but with my multiple personalities I speak for many... Both Dave and Buckinfubba provide a service for the BadWebbers that goes above and beyond... far past the mercenary actions of sales... to sincere caring service from people that ACTUALLY DO CARE about Buells and those who ride them!!! HEY BUELL CUSTOMER SERVICE COAST TO COAST...TALK TO THESE GUYS... and make us change the patches from 3%'ers to a much larger percentage. BUELL MOTORCYCLES MUST LIVE... and live large!!! TO ALL OTHERS... If I have offended anyone with my rambling... comments... or postings... to include the adventures of DASXB9S on Storm Fronts - KC Mob... or other threads... it was not intentional. Tolerance for the difference of others is important to me... we may not agree with the choices some have made as they pass through life... but we should realize that it is their choice to make... and if it is non-conforming... they at some point will have consequences to face... and we must not judge. Even though we may despise their actions! As we move through life we make decisions, and should equally accept responsibility for our decisions, when they do harm to others... be it accidental, collaterally... or intentionally! Quite often we unknowingly or at times apathetically impact on others... sometimes good... sometimes bad... we should think of others... and treat them as we would want to be treated. This is equally true be it large issues... or very petty ones. Respect should be shown to others... with the words tempered with the hard fact that respect is a two way street... to get respect... we must also give respect. Further realizing that respect is earned! In doing so... we should see that it is not all about us... when in almost everything we do... we somehow impact on others. Having said this... there are many times in life we experience stress. Defining stress as the uncontrollable urge to strangle the crap out of someone that sorely deserves it! We should take a deep breath... count to release the stress... knowing that by this point we will be counting to numbers in 6 or 8 figures. Then going to bed at night knowing we did good today... WE PREVENTED A MURDER! Sleeping and having the goal of a better tomorrow. Life is too short to be bitter, unhappy, or uncaring! If we all do that... then I will have the satisfaction of knowing that those people who I have made some impact on, with my contact through the BadWeb and my personal Buell experiences... will be less likely to beat the crap out of me... when we meet in person!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It has been an honor to interact with all of you!!! Hey... I almost had a lucid moment!!! | ||
| Whatever |
SO CO is the devil...  probably why I got sober in the first place... Have a safe and Happy New Year... be careful out there. | ||
| Newfie_buell |
Screech is the Devil Charlotte!!!! | ||
| Bomber |
Das -- I can't imagine how you could have offended anyone . . . if you have, joke em if they can't take a . .. oh, wait a minute, that's not right, is it? ya hit a nail smack onthe head, though, with the respecting the differeneces we find in one another . . .. think how boring existance would be without the variety btw, fully in agreement with your staement about avoiding a murder . . . . . in spite of the fact that there are so many who deparately need strangling! | ||
| Buckinfubba |
char I would love to see you on the so co train just once. I will keep notes and write the screen play. That could just be wacked out. the devil ain't in so co ...it just brings out the mindless zipless sex'em up fightin crazy ass oooh ahhh devil thats already lurking deep in the bowels of the dark recesses near the backs of our minds that we try to hide from public consumption. I do such a rotten job of that. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I miss that midnight surf, catching that first wave of the year as the Grand Finally of fireworks strikes midnight off Waikiki. I may just have to move back to Hawaii... mmmm.... A Slow Comfortable Screw Up against the Wall Mexican style is the way to go for a killer drink | ||
| Bomber |
I think I stoppped so co tipplin when I stopped dropping blotter . . .the two seemed to go so well together (no to mention unleashing that primal reptilian brain stem part that bubba speaks to eloquently to) | ||
| Thunderbolt_dad |
Jack....more Jack......a little more Jack, Gentleman style....than the Silver Select....and at midnight, 2 fingers of Bookers......can't wait to NOT remember that...lol....Happy New Year all....and to all a good night! | ||
| Whatever |
"mindless zipless sex'em up fightin crazy ass oooh ahhh devil"???? yeah???  I just broke up with him....a few weeks ago... but in these parts we have a name for those... REDNECKS!!! | ||
| Bradj |
I'm glad boozing, meaningless sex, and failed relationships made it into this thread...I was getting a little uncomfortable...thought a group hug was imminent.  | ||
| Buckinfubba |
a group hug would be " mindless zioless sex'em up fightin crazy ass ooooh ahhh sex" well atleast it is where I come from.... char Don't say rednecks too loud cj will get all flustered down there | ||
| Dasxb9s |
ya know... I have been reading these things all day long... and have gone through several bottles of cough syrup. (They do not allow alcohol in government builds... improvise, adapt, overcome!) ...and getting misty! ...and I must agree... with Bradj I was seeing a round of Kum Ba Yuh about to break out... a posting by Barney the Dinosaur... and a friendship poem by Oprah Winfrey on the horizon! All my personalities were beginning to get along... inspired by the insightful thought provoking comments (yes, I know one of me posted one of them... but, do not cloud this argument with facts!) ...and I was contemplating stopping by the music store and purchasing some Pat Boone CDs. I found myself surfing the net to look at sites and reviews of Bergman and Silverwing scooters... and almost put my XB9S on Ebay. WE MUST STOP THE MADNESS... If we were all in the same tavern... for our own sake... I would be starting a bar fight... to save us all!!! | ||
| Buckinfubba |
das you are so sweet  | ||
| Cj_xb |
Don't say rednecks too loud cj will get all flustered down there You got that right, no insults to rednecks they are my favorite !!! CJ | ||
| Crusty |
Want to start a bar fight? Give me a fifth of Jack Daniels. There's nothing that matches the feeling you get when you're puking on the shoes of the cop who pulled you over. There's a good reason behind why I don't drink. I'll see the new year in right - watching the Three Stooges. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I will be camped in front of the TV New Years day watching WRC...  NY Eve is still up in the air though I hear there will be a club locally doing filming for the show "Real Sex" on HBO...hrmmm that has possabilities | ||
| M2me |
I have never understood the fascination with the "New Year". Why is this date any more important than any other date? Why don't we celebrate midnight on March 3rd for example? Why is December 31 so much more important? It chronicles the passing of a year, but every day does that if you think about it, unless you're an infant and haven't yet lived an entire year. People are goofy, I suppose. By the way, I'll be watching the "Twilight Zone" marathon on the SciFi channel. Happy New Year! | ||
| Henrik |
Fantastic thread. I just love the fact that I have a place like this to go for pretty much anything. I'm sure you all know what I mean. Thanks Blake for housing/hosting us all. Thank you all for a fantastic year. Henrik | ||
| Road_thing |
Bomber-- Blotter, whoa, that made me shudder for a second. I think I'm seeing trails... It's a good thing we're not neighbors, I think we have way too much in common. Happy New Year, brother! And Happy New Year to all of the rest of you BWB types, too. I hope everybody survives the celebration and has a great 2004! r-t | ||
| Bomber |
back atcha, Thang . . . .. I think you're right, proximity could cause critical mass, and THEN where would we be (not sure our wives would go our bail very often) 2004's gonna be great . . . .everyone have a great celebration | ||
| Innes |
BONNE ANNEE & HAPPY NEW YEAR to all, bottoms up | ||

In my house, I am prohibited from event THINKING (an activity I used to engage in periodically) about the two of you at the same time! At my age, my system...burdened with fond memories of vices gone, can't handle it. It's so bad, I'll leave you with this hint as to where I broke out of deep thought, while headed to a din-din on the Tony Upper West Side, and walked out of the subway....  Courtsheimers | ||
