Okay, I know there are a number of you that attend this event. I thought it'd be cool to have a large Buell group arrive together. The Brew City group has this as our October group ride. There is also a good turnout from the Windy City boys. Here's my proposal.... We all meet at a designated time in Madison. We all have to exit on Mineral Point Rd to get to Pine Bluff. There are a few gas stations at that exit. These would make a good gathering point. So who's in? Oh yeah...what time? I can't remember when the festivities begin. I missed the spring event but last fall I was the fifth or sixth bike there (WAY too early) Dave...I know you're group will be coming in from the west. If you have another meeting spot, we could hook-up with the Iowa boys. Otherwise, we'd just meet you there. Mennis | ||

Yes we will be there and no I'm not going to crash this time! We are planning on leaving Waterloo about 8am, should put us there about 11:30-12:00. Be easiest to meet in Pine Bluff(that's the first town,right?) then go to Leland from there. Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

Mennis, Charlotte from up north who used to live in Madison. You might meet at the bar at the corner of Mineral Point and Junction Road (a few blocks west of the highway). I am pretty sure it will not be open in the morning, but in Wisconsin you just never know. E-mail me if you want the name of it. I will be there if you tell me what time. Charlotte 2002 M2L | ||

One time I went I got there around 7am and there were at least 100 bikes already there, and both bars in Pine Bluff were open for business and bathrooms and coffee. Not sure about other meeting places nor times. Might be time for a new rear tire before then, getting kind of slick and hard. Dennis, is the group still thinking of an overnighter that weekend, or did that get changed at the last meeting? Just curious. I've got a full class load this term and will be vacant from the meetings for awhile. MikeJ (Is it possible to have jet lag if you drive instead of fly cross country???)  | ||

Mennis . .. . likley a buncha Uker's, too . . . Mikej . . wouldn't that be, ehem, butt-lag? | ||
| Mikej |
Could be.  Might see you on the 6th if'n I get my homework done. | ||

Where are you guys meeting in Madison? I have to let someone else know. Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

I'm not sure we're meeting in Mad-town. The Windy City gang wants to do their own thing (bad experience last year). The Brew City gang is meeting in Oconomowoc and taking super slab to Madison. We should be getting on Mineral Point road around 10:00am. If there's someone we need to meet, let me know. Mennis | ||

Is Mineral Point road by Madison? Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

I think Mineral Point Road is the main line west out of Madison heading to Pine Bluff. I think it's also known as "Cr S" and might be near Middleton Junction according to Mapquest.com (I'm getting to hate Mapquest's popups). This link may or maynot work. | ||

Sorry for the delay....Mineral Point Rd is the same as County S. I beleive the exit is marked as Mineral Point road off of Hwy 12 (also known as "The Beltline"  Mennis | ||

Silly question, what day is the run this fall? I might be interested if I knew what weekend. | ||
| Mikej |
First Sunday in May, first Sunday in October. That would make it October 6th. | ||
| Whatever |
OK, Pick a spot on Mineral Point Road and I can shoot for 10 am Sunday, will be in Mad Town all weekend. Charlotte | ||
| Whatever |
Or can meet you at the run, since may ride out with some Madisonians. Whatever! | ||

Glad you found the thread again. Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

I guess the Windy City guys aren't coming because they heard about this wild man doing combination wheelies and stoppies on a Firebolt last time. It kind of scared them off. | ||
| Bomber |
nah, it was strictly an internal disagreement . . there will be windy city folks there, count on it it's just that they won't all be trying to come up together (kinda sad when you can't keep 12 bikes together on a limited-access highway ) | ||
| Lake_Bueller |
Yeah, I know how you big city boys are....it's all about the egos All- We'll be stoping to gas in Madison (Hwy 14 & Mineral Point Rd) around 10am. I'm not sure how many are riding yet. See ya all in Pine Bluff! | ||
| Bomber |
you hit the nail on the head, Mennis . . . . .ego was it! btw . . . you gonna be at the HH this sunday? could be a catch-can handoff opportunity! | ||
| Daves |
Hey IaMike, I resemble that comment! I've vowed not to crash this time so I can make it to Pine Bluff and Leland. You coming with us? You missed the meeting last night, where were you? Ride to the edge! Dave HD/Buell Cycle Center 4022 Sergeant Rd Waterloo Ia 50701 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 | ||

Bomber, no go on HH this Sunday...gotta work  On the up side...I get to spend Monday at Blackhawk Farms driving Lotus cars! Next catch-can handoff opportunity will be Slimey Crud. I'll be there (rain, shine, snow, cold, heat, sleet, dark of night) I think you get the point. I'll be there | ||
| Bomber |
awww. you poor man . . . . .. what flavor lotus? I want a super 7 so bad I can taste it! | ||
| Mikej |
I gots a little Bugatti type-35 kitter that's sort of Lotus-ish that I'm debating what to do with ... MikeJ (ridin' in the rain, watching the disk rotor rust away, just ridin' in the rain today) | ||
| Lake_Bueller |
I'm hoping to sample a "rainbow of flavors". There's a Lotus Owners Gathering at The Abbey this weekend. My "gratuity" is some track time from whoever feels kind enough to let me drive their car. I know for sure that I'll be in a race version Elan & Espirit Turbo. I'll take plenty of pics. | ||
| Mikej |
See if you can get a ride in a Europa. If you do you won't have to ask why I suggested it. | ||
| Bomber |
MikeJ oooo . . . .oooo . . . .I thihnk I know the car exactly . . . . . my mom had a friend that had one once (he never finished his, either) . . . .this one had a VW flat-four in it . .. is that what yer talkin about? | ||
| Bomber |
Mennis . . . .well, as crappy as your gig is sometimes, fringe benefits like that can't be ignored | ||
| Mikej |
Sort of, except dump the VW stuff, put the body on a '59 Healey chassis, slip in a Fiat spyder engine up front, and then go play. Much more true as a replica to the original than the VW pan stuff. Got no time nor space to work on it for awhile. Currently running at 90% certainty of making the Crud Run. See if this link takes you to a pic I posted some time back, click here |
