You will get in more laps and therefore more chances to get the various corner entrances and exits dialed in. It will be worth it to those that go.   Davegess Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 08:11 pm:        The tech sessions at the factory continue, the dinner is an addition.   Court Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 08:52 pm:        And . . . (I'm ready to be wrong again . . . ) but I'm betting the tech sessions will not be at the factory. There is simply not enough room. I expect they will take place at the hotel. But. . . . I also have one other (the empty building next door) idea in the hopper. One way or another . . they are always a hit. I'd withhold judgement on the $50 till you get details . .. I suspect that covers more than iced tea and a salad. Call it a hunch.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 09:53 pm:        WHAT TO DO?! I want to do it all!!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 11:14 pm:        After thinking about it for awhile. Doing a track day that far away from home may not be the wises choice to make. So... dinner with Erik and R/A will do.   Bads1 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 02:31 pm:        After thinking about it for awhile. Doing a track day that far away from home may not be the wises choice to make. So... dinner with Erik and R/A will do. Bingo!!! Lots of people feel that way. They ride here and want to ride home. Not look for parts or worse be injured during the stay. If you trailer in thats one thing. But I do completely understand the feeling about the risk.   Court Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 03:44 pm:        In addition, with that many folks and so many things going on there are too many distractions for me to try to squeeze in a track day. Especially after staying up to the wee hours the night before and then getting up at "zero dark thirty" to drive to the track. Good call. Trust me . . . there is something at Dana's bar that will get your attention off any sorrow you may feel.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 03:55 pm:        Hey Court, I got dibs on shotgun this year!   Trackdad Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 04:36 pm:        OK....I'm heading to homecoming, but where's Dana's bar? Wouldn't mind being a part of the festivities Court and Wolf!!

Maybe a self guided tour from the hotel!!   Bads1 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 08:21 pm:        i'll be on vacation...responsible....NOT!!! Sleez your on a bike... its your only transportation... other's riding around you. Some are friends. Some are complete strangers. Responsible???? Its a must. This is what I did last year. part of the crowd ERIK Jammin And your bartenders Trackdad,I'm working on a few things right now but I'll sure to post once I have thing's concrete.   Cbm2 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 11:28 pm:        I take it you need to buy the ticket package to do any of the events?   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 10:31 am:        oh...i'll be responsible whenever i am even close to two wheels!!! no doubt...i am just saying, i want to be unresponsible....some!!!   Buelliedan Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 10:59 am:        The host hotel is the best place to let loose and be unresponsible. That way we can just carry you to your room if needed.   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 11:12 am:        no problem...if there is no shuttle...then i'll stick to drinking my caffeine free sodas...i have been caffeine free for over 3 years now!! i'll save the rum for the hotel!!!   Court Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 12:37 pm:        Last year I drove a group and given the hilarity and chicanery on tap for this year I'd be willing to organize a team of designated drivers.   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 12:50 pm:        ooraaah!!! court!!!!   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 01:03 pm:        If need be that someone or anyone is in need. I will not let you ride your bike anywhere. I'll drive you (plural).I don't want anyone hurt or worse. I want Homecoming to be a good memory not one to try to forget.   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 01:11 pm:        +10 Bads1 i think i was misunderstood earlier, and take a bit of offense to the implication that i would not be responsible. those who know me, know better!   Court Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 01:47 pm:        No . . no . . no . . no one thought that. These deals have a way of starting as good parties and turning into spectacular parties. It was so funny . . .cause there was a time when one Buell owner could drive and ALL the rest could ride in the same car. This is going to be a lot of fun this year . . . heck . . I may even (don't ask, it's not without precedent) charter a bus to do to and fro shuttle between the hotel and Dana's Place. Heck . . maybe Blake and I will drive the bus . . .then you would have a tough "risk allocation" choice. I'm kinda thinking of renaming the joint from The Boiler Room to Dana's Place for Homecoming.   Sleez Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 02:04 pm:        sounds appropriate court, i'd be willing to pitch in for the shuttle!   Mikej Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 02:38 pm:        There's a guy selling banners/flags down in the classifieds here, maybe he can make you up a Dana's Place flag for the door down there.   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 04:45 pm:        Thanks Court.... I'm really hoping to have Erik again this year. I've gotten no commitment yet but he really wants to. That was a fantastic night. Thursdays at The Boiler Room are usually a busy night none the less with Softball teams and what not. But I really took the time to walk around talk to everyone. The place was all Buell enthusiasts. I had only 5 count'em 5 people that were locals in the joint. I want to do this again soooooooooo bad. I'm hoping to talk with Erik soon to see if he has any idea of whats instore for his own commitments.   Trackdad Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 04:56 pm:        The Homecoming web says Erik will be playing saturday night in Elkhart Tiki Bar.   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 05:16 pm:        Well,like I said I haven't spoke to him in awhile. If he plays at the Victorian like he did a couple years ago that will mean a 1hr 20min ride back to the host hotel. He will play there in the evening hours after the races. I'll speak to him soon.   Trackdad Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2008 - 06:53 pm:        no matter....I'd like to visit your place! Don't think I'll make the Tiki and then ride back to the hotel. Thought I might stay up there but already booked the hotel and then need to head home sunday. Saturday will be a long day! HOPE TO MEET YOU THEN!
