I might be interested in the 24-25 July ride. My hand has recovered to the point where I can ride again, but I am inclined to ride at something less than an aggressive sporting pace for now......and that may not be how the group would want to ride. So I'm a definite maybe |

Tim I especially like the ride and then ride some more part. The Super 8 is booked for Saturday night. As a matter of fact, most everything is booked so I made a reservation at the Pine Ridge Motel for now. This hotel is in Dodgeville. I will contact the Super 8 directly regarding cancellations. |

If all the Buell people out there concentrate together about good weather on Saturday, we can change the weather patterns for the good. It is all about harnessing the collective conscious of the Buell riding people of the earth. We should all look towards the west concentrate on nice weather at 6:00 PM CST. Or better yet, bring all your rain gear. That usually wards of most of the rain for me. See everybody at Belvadere! |

I am doubtful for this weekend ride into Wisconsin. It will be a last-minute decision for me on Saturday morning. If I do end up going, I'll see everyone at Belvidere Sat @ 9am. Ride safe, as I'm sure there is a lot of washout on the roads due to torrential downpours over the last 24 hours. |

Very much interested in Moto GP. Need to get tickets and book rooms very, very soon. I'll try to look into both this weekend. Dana, give me the number of the hotel we stayed at last year. Thanks. |

Looks like tickets won't be an issue, there are plenty left. Lodging may be a different concern. Race Day only tickets Sun. 8/29 are going for about $100 for decent seats. I'd really like to go, but I'm not up to going solo. Anybody want to go to the premier motorcycle race in midwest for the year? (Message edited by lastcyclone on July 31, 2010) |
