To all-- I sold my S1 to a rather nice guy in Blue Springs Wednesday afternoon, his name is BJ, short for Barton (get your head out of the gutter Dennis), anyway he has been riding for about one day and decided to go out with some guys at work who are more experienced riders than he. They took a rather fast ride down I think it was Blue Parkway, one turn after another, next thing he knows----off the corner he goes!!!!!!!!!!! Lucky for him he is O.K., just his pride hurt, but in the process he managed to pull the clutch cable around against the motor, he straightened it by hand the best he could and went home. Got home and found oil leaking from the cable @ where it goes into the motor?? Blinkers no longer work and probably a scratch or two I am sure! I knew I shouldn't of parted with her (sniff, sniff). Anyone wondering what my future plans are?? Didn't think so. See ya all at the monthly on the 19th!! Ride On!! Paul F | ||

Hey Paul... I bet I know where you can get a fixer upper S1 now! I wonder what the insurance buy back would be? (formerly dasxb9s - mind still in the gutter) | ||

Keef, That really does stink. Ouch! Here in IL we don't have to pay property taxes on vehicles, just sales tax at the time of purchase. What do they tax you for your first born in MO? | ||

Paul,I guess you wont be needing your Buell jacket?  | ||

Any of you guys up for a trip to WI next weekend for the sportbike day/BRAG ride/track day? Dave | ||

I have a spare case for that side of the motor if he needs it. | ||

Richie, if I buy the XB like I want to, (if my wife lets me), I will very much need it. But if she say's no way, then you have first dibbs. Paul F | ||

Hey guys, take a quick peak in on the Quick board -- What do you think of a Badweb rally. I suggest the Eureka Springs area. Thought maybe a few of you would be interested in this thread. Take a look in when you get a chance. Keith | ||

If we can have it in Arkansas, the KC Central Brag Club would surely play host! | ||

Thanks to helping Fuscat fix up the Honda CB550 for Mrs. Fuscat... I found a better way to do something to keep COOL!!! Check out the Quick Board... the "Here is a COOL solution/idea" thread. (formerly dasxb9s - still finding ways to spend money for my bike shop) | ||

Work on the "Willie G's ••••••• Stepchildren" Buell patches and T shirts got started this morning, my embroidery lady is working on the art work and layout today and will have something for me to approve this week. We will be having X Large and 3X T-shirts, patches in 3" and 10", and possibly window decals, ball caps, bandana/dorags and maybe even denim jackets available if all goes well. | ||

Well looks like I may have created a monster! Here are some pics of Mrs. Fuscat's first ride on the 550! I suck at the image posting thing here so I will just post the links.. http://www.birch.net/~stftr/mich/firsttakeoff.jpg http://www.birch.net/~stftr/mich/mich2.jpg http://www.birch.net/~stftr/mich/mich3.jpg http://www.birch.net/~stftr/mich/mich4.jpg http://www.birch.net/~stftr/mich/mich5.jpg | ||

Group: will probably skip out on tonights fun-o-rama in the interest of making it tomorrow (Richie, I will bring the requested materials tomorrow to the monthly meeting) I have company stopping by around 7:00pm but am willing to meet you guys a little later if possible. Or any of you could stop by if you want. | ||

| Richieg150 |

| Fuscat |

I am curious how is it that I got the name "skully" where is it from and what exactly is it supposed to mean......  | ||

I was intending to go to McBrides and just as I got off work at 5:00pm, the big rainstorm hit. Got stuck in traffic snarl as a result and did not make it home until after 6:30. By the time I could have made it to OVPK the meeting would have been winding up I am sure. I got the Buell Patch design work back for approval from the embroidery lady this morning and told her to get started on them. I asked her if I could have them by the time Bikers For Babies Sept 12 or Ralph Wayne's backyard show comes along and she was skeptical about having them done by then but said she would try. I figured either of those events would be my best chance to catch several Buell riders in one place at the same time to distribute patches. I did find a silkscreen Tshirt printer who can have the first run of Tshirts done in time if I can get the money to him for the printing, so I am working on it. I will use Haines Beefy T's and have sizes XL or 3X skipping the 2X sizes, if you are a big guy or want a loose fitting shirt, you get a 3X, I will have some 2X later on. My wife likes the 3X for a nightshirt, so I figured some of your women might like them too. We licked the Buell Pegasus logo copyright infringement problem by designing a similar but different enough pegasus from some clip art we found to alter. | ||

Sorry I missed the meeting last night, I had to go to back to school night for my kids at SM South and could not make it. I hope you guys had a great time and ride. | ||
| Gravedigger |
Richie, Great pic. Thought I might see you traveling through my area on the way to Rantoul lastweek.  You guys helping Sam stay out of trouble with the law and the little wifey? He needs all the help he can get! Keith | ||
| Rustyx1w |
T shirts should be available at Bikers For Babies as the screen printer got started on them today. They will be 2x and 3x sizes now, about a 10" logo on the back, some coming later with a breast pocket logo too. Embroidery patches may not be ready by the time Bikers For Babies happens, I am pushing the supplier to get them done. | ||

Sam, just had to let you know what you were missing. "During the weekend, those six couples will be responsible for directing the serving of 3,800 pounds of roast beef and barbecue, 400 pounds of catfish, 400 pounds of carp and "an ungodly amount of chicken," chairman Ray Genenbacher said." "Also, each night the K of C will serve 50 to 70 kegs of Miller and Budweiser beer and 10 kegs of Coors" Couldn't resist Keith |
