Author Message   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:12 am:        Check the top of this page for info on March Badness.   Stealthxb Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:13 am:        Mikej... It is only too late in April. As far as the event in concerned everything is extremely informal. We will be running Buell demo rides from TWO on Saturday and Sunday (March 29th and 30th). However, the event is much more than that. Basically, Buellers from all over the world will simply use it as an excuse to get together and ride the best roads in the country all day and tell lies by the campfire all night. If you are into camping TWO has plenty of space. If not, there are cabins for rent all over the Suches area. If you need more formal accommodations there are hotels in nearby Dahlonega.   Stealthxb Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:14 am:        haha...he said banjo and screwed.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:15 am:        The accommodations in Helen are not bad either.   Stealthxb Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:18 am:        Additionally, there is a run to the Tail of the Dragon that departs from TWO Friday morning.   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:21 am:        Ahhhhh, the top secret trick of posting the info at the top of the page trick, sort of like a post-it note stuck to my forehead, I'm awake now. Thanks.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:27 am:        I'm awake now. Thanks. You didn't miss it...I just put it up there as you're one of many that have asked the same question. Hope you can make it. It truly is a lot of fun. After MBIV, Buelltoberfest was born this past October. Beware!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:55 am:        Whats the date for Buelltoberfest? I would like to come but I don't have a weekend free from April 5th to Oct.11th   Thumper74 Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 11:09 am:        Ouch, are you teaching every weekend?   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 11:15 am:        working Teaching Racing or Playing I'm booked! I may drop a Riders Edge class or 2 just to get on the track more, I just hate to lose the $$$   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 11:37 am:        Whats the date for Buelltoberfest? It's set for Oct 3-5, 2008. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 312120.html?1197215881   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 11:43 am:        Per Mapquest: Total Est. Time: 13 hours, 39 minutes Total Est. Distance: 821.20 miles Seems doable as a long weekend thing. So I can plan for next year (or this year) Is Friday a big day, or is it just a setup day, is it better to get there on a Thursday night or do people not really start rolling in until later on Friday? Same question but reverse direction for Sunday, is there stuff happening or are people basically heading out or do folks stay Sunday night as well?   Nevrenuf Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 12:18 pm:        thursday nights a good time to get there cause friday makes for a better run to the dragon. no real weekend traffic is what i noticed last year. besides, the best way to make the event bigger is to expand the time.   Buellerandy Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 12:34 pm:        You already have the directions, why wait til next year? I'll even pick you up on my way down from the fox valley   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 01:28 pm:        I'll be there Thursday, but I think I'm going to run the local roads this year. The Ohio crew will hit the Dragon on the way there and I may go back home that way. I think I missed out on some local fun last year and the Dragon tends to be a a$$hole magnet. I should know, I've been there a bunch....   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 01:34 pm:        "why wait til next year?" Schedule and budget, looking into it though. Who knows what the weather will be like here at departure time, anything from 6' of snow to sunny and 70°F.   Mikef5000 Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 01:36 pm:        Mikej, make a pit stop for the night in Columbus, and ride the second half with our group! We'll be leaving at 6:00 ish Thursday morning.   Mikej Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 02:19 pm:        I'll know more after this weekend. If 6ish was noonish it would avoid having to add in a Wednesday off as well. Here to Columbus: "Total Est. Time: 7 hours, 46 minutes Total Est. Distance: 476.00 miles"   Thumper74 Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 04:13 pm:        Mikej, my work schedule 'may' prevent me from leaving at the scheduled time with the caravan. I would be interested in riding down after work on Thursday (Friday-Monday has been approved)if I can't take Thursday off. I'd be looking for someone to ride down with if they're on a similar schedule. I would probably put us/myself leaving Columbus around 6pm and riding straight through arriving super early Friday AM allowing us/myself to sleep for a bit before the Dragon on Friday...

Besides... all the azzhats aren't out on Friday!!! Come on...   Paulxb12r Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 05:37 pm:        Mike are you riding on your buell all the way down? What do you do for a oil change? For me its 480ish miles to two just the round trip will do me for an oil change.   Buellerandy Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 05:51 pm:        The same as the guys coming from Texas and Wi   Slowride Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 06:12 pm:        In my best Al Pachino voice... "Oil Changes, we doon neid no steenkin oil changes" "Say Haloo to me leetal frend..... This is where you insert your favorite brand of high milage fully synthetic Buell approved 1qrt. bottle of oil. Yeah, I did a 3600 mile round trip on the uly with no oil changes. Just topped her off and kept runnin her.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 06:19 pm:        Oil Change... every 5000 miles if it needs it or not.   Blackbelt Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 08:34 pm:        Well looks like I am in, KWEL!!

I'll be rolling early Friday morning and hitting Maryville between 9:30 and 10:00.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Friday, January 11, 2008 - 07:51 am:        6 AM leaving Orient (Columbus) Should be in Lexington around 9:30 From Lexington to The Dragon should arrive around 2:30, eat lunch, Ride the Dragon and then head to Suches. Its about 2.5 hours to Suches form the Dragon and the sun should set around 7:15.... it would be nice to set the tent up in the light of day.
