From the news section.... Great news item #1 Buell is going to bring the big Demo Track out to CMP. They will be offering limited on-track demo rides of the race winning 1125 R Superbike and other Buell models. These demo rides are 100% FREE and included in your event fee. I would say that all the Buell riders sucked up the Inside Pass spaces and the people they need to have riding the demo's (NON Buell owners) never got the chance to ride..... just a thought... I'd say the cat is out of the bag.... | ||

Looks like there's one coming up at Barber in early May. So tempting, not sure I can swing the $$$ though. | ||

The Mid Ohio Buell sponsored days are Monday and Tuesday after the Honda Super Cycle Weekend. To bad my boss decided to take off the week before and the week after. | ||

yeah wolf, I'd imagine that having a buell demo day where >75% in attendance are already on Buells didn't help much. Mid-O is listing the day as a duc day. Still may try to get in Monday, as camping for the races is something I'm still trying to get the fam on board for then just stay another night(for me anyway)... | ||
