A Sunday sounds good to me! I may be able to do something April 5th or 12th.... let me know if that works. Bruce and I just shot the bull yesterday and had some good food... I see some Wednesday bike nights at the LUBE in the future for COBRA. I'm not a big fan of the Lube scene but if Buellers are getting together, I'm there. It will be a good way to spread the Buell word. I sent the info to Buell last night for our club. As soon as I hear something I will post it up here. Bruce, you're a I/T type of guy.... wanna do a COBRA website?? |

Sunday would work for me too. April 5th would be better, but the 12th is a possibility. COBRA website? That would be cool - I'm in for doing that. A calendar for events/rides, a place for pics, an announcement page, general information...no forum needed since we have BadWeb of course. Let me mock something up over the next week or two. If anyone has additional thoughts or suggestions for it let me know. |

I could be in for Sunday the 5th, Again if anyone can and the weather is decent, I believe the first lube bike night is the first of April. I'm almost always there. Thump4fun: not a bad ride home,eh? like I said. I like to ride fast. |

Hello COBRA Members! My name is Masa. I ride 2003 XB9R white/orange. I have ridden this bike for one year. This bike gives me tons of fun! I did not know there is a Buell association in Columbus. Wolfridgerider just told me about this page(Thank you!) I have seen a couple of Buell in columbus. I have been looking for Buell community in Columbus for 1 year! I live in Dublin. May I join in COBRA? (Message edited by chuma.1 on March 18, 2009) |

Sounds like I could learn a few things, and good timing with a long-haul trip planned this summer. I'll plan on going too. What's the cost? |

No cost from what I understand. Just RSVP to Darris and you should be good to go |

An event to add to the calander... and you all should make it: May 12, 2009 6:00 - 10:00 PM Bank Block of Grandview Ave (For directions, look up this address: 1285 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43212) Grandview "Euro" Bike Night. Very Buell friendly, but tons of Ducati's... perfect place to show off our machines. Just hang out, talk bikes with all kinds of people, and look at some cool as heck bikes. This event happens twice a month, but this one particular event is going to be huge! I'm sworn to secrecy about what exactly is going down, but it should be goood! http://www.eurobikenight.com |

Mikef5000 - If you didn't get my email, you're in! Welcome! And like Wolfridgerider pointed out, we have our own club page on BadWeb now too, thanks to Kristi. I'll add the Euro Bike Night to the club calendar. Sounds like fun! |

Hey Masa (Chuma1) did you ride up riverside drive today (Rt. 33)? I saw a White/Orange XB-R go past my work! And about Euro Bike Nights... they have them a couple times a month now, and they're always a good time. I'll post up here whenever something big is happening (last year they had a semi truck of Hypermotards for demos one day... good stuff). Not to make things difficult... but can we close this Columbus area forum now that we have a COBRA forum? Seems quite redundant. |

I send Kristi a Email and see if we can get something happening... |

http://www.cobrabuell.com/ My hat is off to Bruce (Thump4fun) He is putting a lot of time into getting a website up for the Buell riders in the Columbus Ohio area..... just another one of those things that happen when gums start flap'n over a good plate of BBQ... Looks like a good start to the riding season! |

Holy crap, nice work Bruce! When did you guys want to meet again, or is it going to be the first bike night? |

Thanks Neil, I appreciate it! I'm up for meeting on bike night next week. How about we meet up somewhere beforehand so we can ride in as a Buell group? |

We is OFFICIAL!! I just got a email from Buell.... COBRA can now be found on Buell dot com! (owners area) I forwarded the website info back to them, so I hope they have link set up soon. WOO HOOOO! |

That's awesome! I logged into Buell and checked it out, and they've already added our new website too. Next Wednesday for Bike Night, how about we meet at Mellow Mushroom on Polaris Parkway at 6pm? It's a pretty cool new pizza/bar joint, in the same strip mall as the new 5 Guys and Fries. We could eat there first to avoid the mad rush at the Lube and then ride over as a Buell group. Plus that would give us a little time to hang out a bit to wait for any late comers. If we have buy in on the time and place, I'll post the meet on the blog along with a map link. |

Ok, our next meet is on Wednesday, April 1 at 6pm. Meeting at the Mellow Mushroom on Polaris Parkway prior to riding over to Quaker Steak and Lube as a group for the season's bike night kick-off. Full details here: http://www.cobrabuell.com/2009/03/april-1st-bike-n ight-meet-up/ Please leave a comment either here on BadWeb or at the COBRABuell website to let us know you're going. Thanks! |

I'll be there of course, weather providing. Where is this Mellow Mushroom. I can practically spit on Polaris from my place and I've never heard of either of those places. Give me something close to it that has been established for a longer period of time and I'm sure I'll know where to go. BTW I probably won't be able to make it until about 715-730pm. Oh, I have also talked to our Marketing Direction @ AD Farrow and he said he will do whatever he can to sponsor and promote our group. And we may be able to hold meetings after hours if needed because I could close up. We are really getting on a roll. |

I just talked to Darris at Farrows.... he may be able to get us a club T-shirt that would also double as a freebee to new Buell buyers... and that would point them in our direction... Keep your fingers crossed! |

Hey all - I'm beginning to wonder if we should plan on meeting at 7pm instead of 6pm next week? Arctic9r can't make it out until later, and I recall that MikeF5000 couldn't make it out last time until around 7pm. If we plan on meeting at 7pm, hanging for 30 minutes or so for munchies and stragglers. I know this might make it a shorter night for some (I for one have kids at home and the better half is probably coming with me, two-up style), but we might have a better turn-out with the 7pm time. Thoughts? |

Awesome - looks like there's at least 4 of us in for next Wednesday...although I'm a bit fearful of the potential stankiness. LOL I updated the website and calendar to reflect meeting at 7pm now. The wife and I will likely be there earlier to chow down some pizza...and stare longingly at the beer. |
