 Oh my God. At first I though something was wrong with that article. I'm laughing my ••• off now. | ||
| Ingemar |
Spare yourself a click. Here it is:
an online (got no real life) community (asylum) of Buell motorcycle (big hairy bellowing American V-Twins and thumpers) enthusiasts (incorrigible hooligans), is happy To quote Court, that is an accurate statement. Well, apart from the big hairy bellowing thing I guess. Don't know about you but I'm friggin' proud about that contigency plan! (Message edited by blake on April 15, 2005) | ||

Ingemar - I hope this does "Anonymous" proud. To all, I say: BRAVO!! (Message edited by slaughter on March 30, 2005) | ||

 OK, that said.. I don't see anyone at the 'honda', 'yamaha', 'kawisaki', 'suzuki' sites doing anything like this.. So I'm VERY PROUD to be among this fine and august group of "Incorrigible Hooligans"! Perhaps some year the rest of the biking world will see the error of their ways.. Nahhhhhh... We're just different .. Like our machines and the, uh, incorrigible hooligans that build them. Thanks to all of those that fall into the above mentioned category of fine human kind.. | ||

Blublak - good point. I posted similar thoughts on another board - agreeing - does anybody see this level of support for Suzuki, Kawi, Honda, Yamaha privateers? Show me a link. (we know the anser) Now... OK Fess up - who WHO wrote that RRW release? Court?? Blake?? Anonymous?? WHO? | ||
| M2me |
Yeah, that's all I wanted to know. Who wrote it? I want to clarify that I wasn't laughing at the press release, I was laughing with it. It's funny! Funny is good! I didn't contribute any money directly to the fund (I'm really not a big race fan) but I did buy a calendar so I am contributing indirectly. | ||

Blake wrote the press release. Just look at the wording. Big, hairy, got no life. Oh, wait, that could be any one of us... | ||
| M1combat |
Blake. | ||
| M2me |
It couldn't be Blake. Blake has no sense of humour. Blake is a stuck up jerk that everybody hates. Or maybe he's not?   | ||
| Blake |
I guess that even an ogre like me can have a moment of inspiration one in a lifetime. Glad y'all enjoyed it. I had fun writing it. I got an email on it. How funny is this...
To which I replied...

You're scaring me Blake. I'm seeing a funny side to you I didn't know existed.....  | ||

"Dear Whateverthehellyournameis"  Oh Man Blake I Love It! Your reply was succinct, to the point and good natured yet ever so pointed a fine barb or five indeed. Perhaps he'll ask you later to explain a few more things too him. Like how AMA doesn't have a F-1 class. And there is no such thing as a "Barton" motor, and you can't have a two and four stroke motor at the same time and square pistons.. I'm sorry, but since I read that interview, and now your perfect reply to his inane 'letter' well, my morning has just perked right up! Thanks for the early morning grin.  Oh, and once again, great press release! Thanks.. | ||

Way to go, big guy! rt | ||

Hey Blake... I bet Court helped you with that press release? Maybe just a little bit??? Can anyone come see me in Madison to verify the claimed description of Buell motorcycle racers??? Fact or Fiction.... hmmmmn I wonder...  BTW southern Wisconsin saw some great riding weather yesterday... tornadoes, downpours and hail storms, oh my!!!

Man Blake, your kept that restrained. I was almost hoping you would let him have it hard. Good job. | ||
| Lpowel02 |
Blake...great response!!!  I don't know if I would have been able to resist telling BentSV650 to go get bent...but I admire your restraint...  | ||
| Henrik |
Most excellent Blake. Both the press release and your reply to "whiney"  Henrik | ||
| Ezblast |
Bravo! | ||

Blake-Great article and response. | ||
| Buelliedan |
Great writing there Blake. BTW: Just how much money is in the fund now? Did we make our goal of $10,000? | ||
| Blake |
Thanks all. That email was just so darn silly. I couldn't take it seriously. Char, I often try to channel Court, but the ensuing flurry of knowledge and creativity and untold terabytes of rich storytelling (remind me to tell you) that invade my poor geek/hick brain is just too much. Call it a brilliance/quirk overload. ![: ]](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/proud.gif) I may have been inspired by James' (Buellerthanyou's) very entertaining report on the Twisted/Thrills adventures/antics/gatherings/rides. Not sure but the "big hairy" references might have been inspired from that. I'm Blind!!! Inside joke, you'll have to read James' tale, or is it "tail" to grasp it. Now I'm not only blind, but I've got the willies.  Truthfully (no WMDs here), I was inspired (drunk) by all of the good natured banter (pis5-taking, just learned that new term, makes me sound sophisticated, no?) that we share (brutally subject upon the innocent) here (asylum). I just want to get out (run away) and meet (get free food and drinks) more of the cool folks (anyone who will talk to me) who spend time (hide from reality) here. Dan, We have right at $8K less $1.5K for admin fee. Expect to garner another $1.5K with offering of event passes. Still have outstanding pledges of around $1K. So we are at around a net total of around $9K. Must sell more calendars! If we sell all the remaining calendars we'll meet our goal and be fully funded to cover our obligations should four Buells finish each of the remaining FX events. Should Buell racers achieve great things and calendar sales fall short, of course the only alternative will be to threaten torture and extortion. I do have pictures you know. Right Char?  heheheh (Next year's calendar could get to be real interesting.) I also have free run of a not-too-obscure web site and access to photo-editing software and a very twisted devious mind. Mwuwahahahah! Thanks again for the kind words all. I'm undeserving of any such kindness. Cause remember, I not only play an a__hole on the internet, I am one in real life. But I am working on it. | ||

Blake -- great writing, but I'd be very wary of channeling Blake -- yer livestock will be glued into cars, you'll never finish a story, pics of you dressed in a wifebeater and skimmer will randomly appear hither and yon . . . .. t'ain't a pretty picture, sir! | ||
| Slaughter |
Blake - I'll pledge another small chunk to help cover the deadbeats or short-fall - I can't afford it because I have also taken it upon myself to single-handedly support the Welfare State this year but I can't afford NOT TO help either. | ||
| Chainsaw |
If we sell all the remaining calendars... I will make a mention of it at our next BRAG meeting (04.05.05). 3 guys there said they wanted them and had me post interest here on their behalf. Might get a couple more takers too. | ||
| Blake |
Bomber, Luckily Jack seems to take it all in stride. But I did notice that when Court is in the vicinity, Jack sticks (no pun intended) very close to Vickie. Geez Steve, I think we'll be good to go. Sure is cool of you to offer more though. But man, we want your team fully funded and in the fray with no excuses this year. BTW, the offer still stands, same deal as we discussed last year. If you are up for it. There ain't gonna be no deadbeats. Dead maybe. Beat maybe. I know a guy on Statten Island who works on commission. And he really likes his job. Would be really cool if everyone could mention the calendars to their dealer contacts and fellow Buell enthusiasts. Thanks all. | ||
| Court |
I had nothing to do with it . . . . . . damnint! Well done to whomever doned it! | ||
| Slaughter |
Blake - I gotta see how the recovery goes. I'm out of racing at least 2 more months - then depending on the financial injury (still working on taxes) - I might have another delay on my return to racing. At least I got my first podium before crashing out! (Message edited by slaughter on April 01, 2005) | ||

Blake,I could probably sell a bunch if I had an example to take to one of our A.S.B.N. meetings---hint,hint--- | ||

Blake thanks for the chuckles  Oh and I am quite proud to be a small(not dimmentionsaly) part of one of the finest groups of hairy hooligans ot ever have the audacity to take on "conglommo" (Message edited by oldog on April 02, 2005) |
