Really? Med or Large (whatever you have more of). Thanks! Last year's STD shirt came from Glendale HD/Buell out in Cali (I was there on a trip - which was good 'cause the local dealers didn't support that promotion either). |

Daves, The bike is back together. Boss has given me the OK (but you know how women change thier minds). Just need to decide on whether Saturday or Sunday at this point. Trying to put a couple things together. How long does it take to get from Cedar rapids to Waterloo. It takes 3 hrs even (following the posted speed) to get to Cedar Rapids from here. Josh, Unless the little Boss changes her mind. I'll pick one up for you while I am there. I think here exact quote at dinner was go ahead get the F*** outa my hair for the day. I think she thinks this will fix me being stir crazy all the time. So it looks real good at this point! Keith p.s. Dave your off the hook for jinxing me on the isolator! |

The Bike demos are Saturday and the Battletrax is sunday. I just talked to Sam and it looks like they are leaving KC about 7 am. they should arrive in waterloo at noon. I am still open as far as departure times. I am supposed to leave same a message on his voicemail inregards to my plans in the morning. Interested Dave? Drop me a line. they are just winging it as far as hotel rooms go. Keith |

Just got back from Battletrax. Had a great time. Daves puts on a very nice event. Heres some pics. First the pics of the person that was too concerned with making sure his ride made it home. otherwise known as the slow way around the track.

Buell Bash/BattleTrax weekend recap, Saturday was our annual Buell Bash, the weather was great! We had a bunch of riders take out our new Buells for a demo ride. The KC mob came up for the day. We got Jeff a new tire mounted up on his S3 while he was there, thanks for the Biz Jeff! Attendance was a little off from last year but I think it was just too nice of a day. Everyone was out riding! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Our second BattleTrax event! Whhooo Hooo! The weather held out for us at last. Temps in the 70s! We started the morning at 6am to set up the course. Jeremy and Larry did a great job on the course. It was HUGE! 2 barrels and lots of very tight corners made it interesting for everyone. We had 44 riders,up 1 from last year but we had over 340 people thru the gate! The riders put in 502 runs by the end of the day so I think everyone got plenty of riding time. The course was big enough that we could get 3 or 4 on the course at one time, this cut down on the wait between rides. We had riders with sportbikes,YSRs,cruisers and dual sport/motards, no touring bikes showed to compete this year. The stunt riders, Team XMX and Kansas City's Most Wanted put on 3 great shows for the crowd. Those guys are just plain nuts! We had a vendors row with lots of stuff to look at and buy. We had Buell riders come from Mo,Kansas,Il,Mn,Ne and of course some of the locals from Waterloo in attendance! What a great day, everything went pretty smooth, I had lots of great help, even a few that didn't know they were going to help me(KCBill)we couldn't have done it without them. All the winners, including 7 year old Mason got a framed certificate to show off that they are the fastest. All the riders got one with their fastest lap time of the day. The winners also recieved a $100.00 gift certificate from the HD/Buell Cycle Center(I'll send yours with your helmet and plaque Sam). The big news(and no surprise to me) is that in the Sportbike class a Buell kicked ass! Sam, from KC ruled! The guy was an animal out there. I have to look at the time cards but I think he won by several seconds faster than anyone else in his class and was running close to the fast times set by the rider that won the Dual Sport/Motard class! Way to go Sam! You ROCK!!!! Well I have to go get ready for work now but I'd like to say thanks again to those that helped make this day possible, without you we couldn't do events like this. I know that lots of people probably think, what's the big deal, just set up some cones and there you go. Well, I want to tell you that it's a lot of work! I, and others put in 13 hours yesterday alone to make this event happen. Thanks to all the people that helped me. You're the best! Ride to the edge!

Keith, not to start any trouble on the home front..... I think your fiance' ringing a phone in my hotel room at three A.M. should be a little disconcerting..... I mean, I get bootie calls pretty often but........ It was good seeing you again, and thanks for making me not look like the only beer thirsty bastard in Iowa! I talked to Frank about our get together in June he sounded really thirsty..... If any of you slob's make it up to the crud run next weekend tell everyone Sam said "hey" |
