.....and a GREAT TIME was had by ALL..!!!!!
Our Check in at the Host Hotel...free cookies and Lemonade as you wait...this was a very good sign! The fellow with the blue neck band is Bruce Champion of Buell.Bruce picked us up at the Airport...took us to another "Terminal" for refreshments and off to the Hotel....(Mr. Champion is so aptly NAMED!!)
We then proceeded across the parking lot to the ClaimJumper! A long time favorite here in Cali, The food here is Dynamite! Then the man picks up the tab for all of us!!! Truly a kind and generous man..!!!We owe you Bruce...next time we treat!!!
Back to the Sheraton and it's time to toast to our new found friends,to Bruce and to Buell...oh , and to Mr. Ben Spies whom rode with us all weekend!!!!!!
And NOW the parking lot scene!! I swear there was someone at ALL TIMES out here with the bikes....What better security than that!
It had been raining but not a single DROP ever fell on US!
Hey mister...whatcha' doin'??
Late at night Wednesday....Still hanging out!
Then this guy shows up with his bike all tricked out wiyh the glowing light things....
Looked really wild at night and was just waiting for attention!
Looked like WALL-E to me!!
One knows when he's had enough of the great "Glarus Spotted Cow"....must seek sleep....
This was FRED the coolest Buell Dog ever...he stayed right next door and we NEVER heard him!!Very well behaved!...we'll see him tomorrow! (Message edited by ebear on July 08, 2008) |

Eric, As always you take amazing pics. The ones of my bike "Last Laugh" are the best I've seen of it. Do you have more of it?? And to help with the names of the racers. The number 38 is Rocketsprink or as I call him Rocco. |

Hmm.. A little help with the racers.. Ok, here goes a few I think I can ID.. Expert Plates (white background) 98 - Bryan Bemisderfer 221 - Walt Sipp 522 - Robert Pirog Amature Plates (yellow background) 91 - Matt Sheahan In the three rider shot it looks like the closest rider to the viewer might be Pete Alesso(Am-808) but I can't say for sure. The others I don't recognize. Sorry, but unless they ride ASRA or CCS Mid-Atlantic I really don't know too many of the riders by leathers and lids.. (and even then you could goof it when they make a change) |
