So whats going on for the IMS. Who's going, staying where blah blah blah. Bob | ||
| Sparropie |
Bobert, I am staying with you! I think we're going Saturday... that's what I think. What do you think? We gona ride? If it's clear? We gona go frown at the guys in the Harley booth? I'm thinking of riding to East Troy in June for the Buell HomeComming. Much will depend on my job situation, but it would be cool to go... Speaking of cool, it was 27 F this morning at 6am when I left for work. I've had someone try to kill me everyday for the last 6. Best was last night when a BMW parked on the right made a u-turn into me, riding in the left of two lanes. A quick directional adjustment from me and the bitch passed about 2 inches behind me... Trucks fade into my lane. Cars explode in front of me. What's a poor scooter goob to do? | ||
| Jelomadnes |
I'm gonna be there. Don't know if I'm ridin' there or not, depends. | ||
| Buellnuts |

I plan to go to the Downtown Harley-Davidson/Buell meeting at 11am. After the meeting, many of us Buelligans will be riding up to the IMS. Hope to see you there! | ||
| Sparropie |
The BRAG, BORG, er.. BLARG...er, that meeting do sound like a cool way to start the day. Plus it would be completely bitchen to come in on a bunch of Buells makin' as much noise and raising general hell and mayhem as possible. In fact I think it is our DUTY to be as blatently BUELL as humanly doable. So break out your old Buell jackets and underpants and get ready to represent! Now is the hour of our discontent with Hardley Doodleson. A sit-in may be in order... I can hear the chanting now...' HELL NO, WE WON'T RIDE, NO IRON GLIDE...' raising the crowd to a fever-pitch of excitment and near madness befor the true crazyness starts with people jumping on all makes of demo bikes and starting an indoor flat trac race around the inside of the convention center, culminating in a wheelie/burnout contest down First Ave! Brilliant! | ||
| Buellnuts |
Deb can go to the Buell deal with ya, I'm burnt out on Club Crap. Gotta get busy now................. | ||
| Speed3 |
Deb here. The meeting sounds great but passing on the group cluster$^#@! . Us Buell & Triumph owners are going at a much earlier time. Dont feel like scuffin toe's standing around when there is new stuff to look at at the show. We will launch from the house at 9:00am . Deb | ||
| Sparropie |
sheesh... all we was gona do is sharpen our pitchforks and light our torches. | ||
| Speed3 |
why oh why would we want to be involved in group carnage! be safe and we'll see ya all at the show. | ||
| Christaylor |
Galen, I have got to get that camera ordered!!!!  Chris | ||
| Sparropie |
i want to go with the FOGG. i'm sorry. i didn't mean it. i has learned my lesson. in fact i think i'm going to go beat up them guys. i gota go talk to our sgt. @ arms... | ||
| Sparropie |
So I've discovered that this Buell has more hp than Betty. I was just starting off, tipped a bit into my turn, and...and the rear jumped out from under me and I fell on my right side. I also think this bike is heaver than Betty, judging by the effort it took to get her back on her feet. So I scrapped the crap out of some cover on the right that only costs $260$ to replace. And of course the scratch has a little crack that I'm gona try to fix for now with some Steele Putty. I don't think my ribs are broke this time, just sprained. So don't make me laugh... | ||
| Buellnuts |
UH................  | ||
| Christaylor |
I have got to get that camera ordered!!!!!!!  Seriously, I hope you are OK, the bike can repaired. Chris | ||
| Sparropie |
Yea, I'm fine, just brusied. The steele putty seems to be working for now. The tire just dosen't have enough bite to hold it'self from spinning when it's 27 f and I lean too far. Live and learn. At least 'till it warms up! | ||
| Sparropie |
So whats going on for the IMS. Who's going, staying where blah blah blah. Bob No One (but me) has responded to Bob's plea for information. WTF? | ||

No One (but me) has responded to Bob's plea for information. WTF? I advised of my plans... to go to the IMS with the DHD Buelligans after the meeting. | ||
| Sportyeric |
Jaci and I don't know yet if we're coming to join you all at Bob and Deb's on Friday night or meeting you at the show on Saturday morning. Sorry. There's crap I'm trying to get out of. Will phone tomorrow. | ||
| Christaylor |
So... Like.... Loni will be working tomorrow, I was thinking about coming up for the day or maybe overnite, but...... Due to weather and other excuses we won't be there.  Hope Ya'll have a good time Chris | ||

Cham, I was really just trying to insult the Canadians. And as for you said Canadians, I understand the trials and tribulations of winter travel. Plus with the juggeling of familial responsibilities the possibilities of things going sideways increase expotentionaly. I can only think now of the future when we meet again in the verdant BlackDiamondBacchiBallCourt for CarBombs and Datona racing. | ||
