Dana, Will be there for sure! had a good time last year. I even painted the Buell this time... Unfortunately, last year at your event Dana I was exposed to a couple hours of CJ on the prowl, purely in an advisors role, So I think i have a pretty good idea as to what she is looking for as well. Cross Garth Brooks, Axle Rose, and the construction worker from the village people and you would be close... P.S. - the sun is out!!!!!!! |

I was exposed to a couple hours of CJ on the prowl, I believe you're being a little facetious (yes I just wanted to use the word facetious) there racerx1 !! I may have been admiring the scenery, but I wasn't shopping, buying, or taking home !! Rain, rain go away !! Where's my table dancer icon ?? |

I'm crossing my fingers for the weather to hold out otherwise my husband will be rather cross... I imagine we'd be out there a little after 6... |

The race itself was cancelled and I bolted once that was announced to beat the wet stuff home. I got about 8 runs in. Wes got a few more than me I think and Leah got a handfull. Other than that, the storm that just rolled through took out the cable, otherwise I wouldn't even be on the web this time of night. |

Sorry I missed ya but Fiery called me while I was riding up, just south of Kenosha about 7:35, the sky was black and she said bad storms coming so I rolled on to her house as the storm hit. I was bummed. wanted to see everyone at the track. Well we leave at 4:30 am for the lake express so i better get to bed. Have fun at all the activities this weekend as we roll through some beautiful country, we'll check in Sunday. |

Anyone happen to have a front end lift/stand that will work on my S3? I need to change the wheel bearings, and would rather not leave the bike hanging on the crane at work if I dont' have to |

Stopped and looked at a Uly today. Here's the plan straight from Karri's mouth! Finish this year with her bike. Start next year with her bike. By middle of summer, sell her bike and purchase a XB12X. I can live with that! |

I'm thinkin I might pick one up too. That would be a really nice "crusin" bike for longer trips. plus cycleworld claims it can jump... like up in the air. how cool is that. I was suprised my xb9 held together when I launched it off a 4ft drop that day I crashed on EE. If that pile of cr@p wasn't in the ladning zone I wouldn't even have gone down. |

Hello! How was everyone's weekend? Stopped at the Boiler Room and chatted with Dana after the show was over. Our trip around the lake was awesome. Did the 3 lakes in 3 days ride. Lake Michigan on the Lake Express is interesting and would do it again. Roads in Michigan with the gps where definately Buell roads and the Glide balked a little when I pushed it in the corners, oh well I tried. Stayed in Cheboygan Mi Friday nite woke up to rain Sat morning, rode across Mackinaw bridge in pouring rain, but thats what rain gear is for. As we rode west in the UP the sky cleared and it was a beautiful ride to the shores of Lake Superior. Then down to Sat nite stop at Rickyracers cabin for a good ole campfire. Sunday headed back stopped at Daves store and they are CLOSED on Sunday! Bummer, rode back to Racine and me back to Ottawa in the wee hours of the mornin. Sure wish the weather would have been good for Thursday nite, Fiery is all fired up about draggin now! And a Buell trip on the Lake Express would be a great fall ride to Michigan and back, (boat both ways!) Also the leaves in the UP were changin...... |
