Here is the thread.
http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 508903.html?1258088790
The BadWeb can be very difficult to navigate and I missed out on a lot of stuff because I just did not know where to find it.
Once you get used to it then it becomes easy.
I have been having problems with the search function at times. Try doing a search on "de-noid"... You get 50 threads telling you to do a search!!!
I did not look at your profile to see where you are at but the Storm Fronts is all the Buell groups with some events. It is a fun place.
Sometimes it is hard for some of us crusty old timers to figure out that people may not know what Homecoming or other Buell related stuff is.
I never got a chance to go (I was deployed a lot) to Homecomig until the 25th (2008) and it was a blast. I would not miss them now. They will of course change a bit but there is nothing better than hanging around with a bunch of "free thinkers" on Buells.
Have fun. |

Yes, 1100 miles of Interstate for me. I got lucky and spent the night in NE with Buellhusker and we had a fantastic ride to East Troy on back roads despite me trying to share a lane with a car at 0 Dark thirty in NE.
I think the dates discussed were 16 - 20 June. I am really looking forward to seeing my friends and making new ones. |

I'd love to make a vacation out of it, but I only get 10 days a year. And I'd like to spend a few of those days "vacationing" with my kids. 
We'll figure something out. If there's a will, there's a way!! |

I've ridden further for a cheeseburger. Homecoming is worth it.
Oh, and Buelltoberfest is in your back yard, no excuses there. |

Thats what I did coming home from Buelltoberfest. My normal two 450 mile days turned into three days and something like 1200 miles total. Saw many great sites and unusual things, like a cow crossing a street and a clean Waffle House. |

When I did the ride from NYC to West Virginia for dinner . . . I just wandered. The way I do it is that every time I hit a road with a speed limit about 40mph, I turn off. . . residential street, backroad or whatever . . I just go on the compass at that point.
I also turn for ANY road with MOUNTAIN anywhere in it's name . . this is the reason I've been having so much trouble getting to Vermont for chili.
I was heading up Route 17 and saw a side "Mountain View Road" and spent the next 8 hours riding up and down the mountain.
I'll try again. |

Froggy,
You're hardcore.
I have a buddy who is a pilot and I know he and some of his friends will fly that far for a cheesburger, but I don't think they'd attempt it on land.  |

Vacation and "with kids" don't belong together. |

Badlions,
I can tell you have kids!!
I enjoy taking trips with my kids. How about that?
We're planning a trip to DC next spring. |

Should I have gotten a Uly instead of a CR?
Are there any Ulys still out there? |
