77 days- just the right amount of time to save up enough money to keep the girlfriend occupied while I'm gone. The Ever-Ready subscription program? |

1 word- d r a m a Ask her to come with you. My wife will be there, as well as many of the 3%er's wives. A lot of wives will be there. |

I tried getting her to come along, she would if it wasn't "so cold and far away." Normally shes very proactive about Buell gatherings, she even road on the back of my firebolt last year to homecoming. Its just that time of the year for grumpiness. So I'm hoping the pics I take this year will convince her to go next year |

LOOKS like I will have to choose between the 25th Anniversary and March Badness.... It will take me three days to get there anyways, five if I take the scenic route, height of selling season... or I suppose I could fly in and rent ... I love the summer money in this business, hate how it cuts into my riding time. |

A lot of wives will be there. Yes, we will! I know how to get to Suches all by myself. March Badness is A LOT of fun. One of the best things for me is that I have the option to ride with Carlos on a loop or up to Blairsville, but I'm not committed to being on the back of a bike all day. With hanging out at T.W.O. I also was never "alone", so he didn't feel guilty when he was riding and I didn't want to. |

Thanks for the offer Andy , but you do know I have a 29 inch inseam !? I will have to pack a milk crate in the carry on to mount that Bi-@tch. Of course if the house sells, then all bets are off, I will attend as many riding events as I can on my midlife crisis tour. Look for the CityX Midlife Meltdown whistle stops. |

M2nc has a 29" inseam - he's had all the seats available on the Uly...the 06 stock, 06 low and the 07 stock seat. The 07 stock gives him the best reach of the three seats! Give it a try. Hope the house sells and you can attend both events. I won't be a Homecoming, but look for me at the demo table Saturday at MBV. |

I was considering bringing the girlfriend to Buelltoberfest, but I loved last year, doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted at MB4. |

It's official. The March Badness event is the largest Buell event in the country. And to think it all started out as a simple Buell demo, with seven 3%ers, and a bunch of local interest. This is our fifth year, and has grow by leaps and bounds each and every year. Can y'all imagine this year being bigger? Ginormous! |

Okay, you've'all got my curiosity peaqued (sp?). Where can one find details about this event in one location, is there a web site, is this a "start at Buell.com" thing, is this a "you should have reserved a bed spot months ago" thing, or what? I'm thinking maybe next year but will use lurke mode this year to figure out plans. Thanks for any links, help, info, or knocks on the knoggin. |

It's like a sign a saw last night, "If you can read this, our snipers can drop you". Agreed. If you can hear the banjo, you're already screwed! |

Yea, however when your stuck deep in a (let me see if I can get this right) 'hawler' they come at you from every direction!! P.S. Mikej, I'm looking right now as well. The WV thing is in the Storm Fronts Section, I just couldn't find anything about March Badness. |
