I can't wait until I'm retired thirty years from now and can do the same type of thing! Of course, by then it will be on some sort of hoverbike or something... |

So, on Saturday Sept. 3rd, are you going to be hanging around the shop all day, or will there be comings and goings going on? Daves should have one of the new Buell beasts in stock by then, probably worth a visit. |

I will have one or more in stock. If they are not all sold I'll be letting people test ride one. Working on other stuff to keep you entertained also. Details soon. |

R, Dave and I are working on putting something together for the Appleton to Waterloo section, I should have something posted by the end of the weekend. I'm sure Ferris has the rest of the route close to being planned. Alex |

Hmmm...Unless the bike is sold, I wonder if Dave needs someone to ride it back from CA for him? Sure would like to volunteer for that duty. Not to mention, I can show it off to all my Buell Doubting riding buds in So Cal. Plus, by booking a round trip flight, whoever is paying the premium for a one way flight would be happy to share the expense as well. |

the bike is sold, to Paul Elliott, aka Madduck. it's Paul's bike i'll be riding, not Dave's or Appleton H-D/Buell's. when the dust settles after the trip (right on the heels of posting the story and photos on BADWEB we're hosting the annual Oktoberfast ride), Paul and i have entertained the possibility of me riding his bike towards Minnesota, where he lives, and formally presenting it to him, with words and pix to follow here on BADWEB. it'd make a GREAT closing chapter to the saga, and i hope it comes down exactly that way.

Jerry, If you're anywhere near Mpls and don't stop to say hi, I'm going to have to hunt you down! Brad |

Jerry...Outstanding! The trip and the final lap are to die for. Paul is one lucky man to have you break in his new bike and to receive all the pics and essay's. Almost as good as having Erik's signature on the bike, but you probably have already made arrangements for that. LOL |

So Mary Jane is still kicking around after a few heart transplants, a ton of plastic surgery and God only knows what else. Now there is a tribute to Buell and an "Owner in Love." Hey Spidy, what's shakin'. |

Craig, I'll keep you posted. I have some details to hack through, but I believe the first ever Badweb 'Field of Dreams' baseball game will be happening, along with a few other events in my neck of the woods. We'll be headed for Waterloo on the 4th, and KC on the 5th. Definitely get your boys involved with part of the trip! |
