I just booked my room at the Sheraton for myself and Jimduncan69 (Gary) at the 90 bucks a night rate with no problem. They said I could cancel up to 6 pm the night before. I'm checking in on the 3rd and heading out on the 6th. NOW.... I hate to trailer my bike! But if they are going to have racing at RA, I may just need to bring the R along for the ride. That being said, I may have room for one or 2 bikes on my trailer. I will keep ya posted. I CAN'T WAIT!! |

The hotel will be a good place to be this year. . . simply outgrown East Troy so you can expect more of the activities. like seminars, to be at the hotel. |

Yeah Court, the last couple of years the seminars did end up Standing room only. Logistics for this one may be tricky. I'm hoping that I haven't worn out my welcome with Steve and Toni Mackay. They have been tremendous hosts the last 2 years. Any word on whether they will be doing any specialized merchandise like the jackets we were talking about with 25th anniversary logos? |

There will be no specialized merchandise. . . problems with the dealer contract . . and HD "competing" by selling stuff. But . . . I have a sneaking suspicion that folks who attend an IMS show and whoop out a Buell key will be pleased. . . . call it a hunch.

Thats disappointing. I guess when it rolls around in february Chicago is "only" 6-7 hours away, but if gas stays as high as it is it'll be hard to justify the expense. Were "premium packages" for homecoming considered that included the schwag? that way there is no selling of the gear per se. Just a thought. (Message edited by diablobrian on November 09, 2007) |

I just booked a room at the Sheraton from July 3-7. I was told that is the block dates that Harley set up. The room rate for the 2nd is $190.00. The dates listed on the Buell are July 2-6. Is there someone that can be contacted to have the 2nd included in the discount rate? Paul |

The boat ride from Muskegon was good time last year. It sure would be nice to make that trip again. If only we could get a discounted rate..... like last year... wink wink nudge nudge... |

Anyone know when a tentative schedule of events might be published? |

I was looking at the route last night and I think the boat looks like a good was to go. How many others are thinking about taking the boat? Maybe we could just get a badweb group rate if there is no Buell group rate. |

I'm sure Buell will have something hooked up for us when the time comes. I just hate the Chicago traffic. Depending on what time I can head west and when I would estimate hitting Chicago will determine which way I go. If I can leave after work on Tuesday and get into Chi-town LATE then I may do that. But I'm sure the traffic will still SUCK. |

I just reserved a room at the Sheraton Brookfield. Terri and I will be staying there this year. We really liked the Super 8 in Racine last July, but with what Buell has on their website for events, the Sheraton looks like a better choice logistically. Oh, Baby; is this gonna be good! |

I just looked on the Buell site again this evening. They mentioned Road America and SummerFest. If you can't find a room in the milwaukee area try the northern suburbs like Menomonee Falls, Germantown and Mequon. All three are close to freeway access for Milwaukee and will put you a little closer to RA. |

I'll be riding in from Colorado. If I can talk my wife into joining me, I'll probably stick her on a plane. I'm riding, period. Got a room at the Sheraton Brookfield too, they still had rooms this morning. Good price, thanks to Buell and HD. Hope DiabloBrian makes the trip, I feel like I owe him a beer or three. I think Court's due for a shot or two of Jaeger. at least. See y'all there. Z |
