It was great meeting the KC group Monday, wish I'd have been able to ride along further. After the "pile up" when you all went south on K I continued west on 6. You really missed out on a messed up ride. About 10 miles west of where you turned south, I got caught up in the Labor Day Parade for the metropolis of Green Castle, Missouri. Traffic backed up on the two lane, sitting stopped in the heat, horse crap all over the road. What a scene. If that freight train of Buells had come roaring through town in the middle of the parade I don't think those locals would have known what to think. Then about 15 miles later I got the first "Fresh Oil/Loose Gravel Next 16 miles" sign. I'm still trying to figure out which was worse, the horse hockey or the oil/gravel combo. Glad you guys all had a great time. I live in Maryville but work in KC two days a week. Hopefully some day we can hook up for a ride, dinner or both. Ride Safe! | ||

Bjack, We usually meet at Fuell at 119th and Metcalf in OP on Friday nights for our weekly rides. Let us know if you are coming and we'll make sure not to leave without you. You really should have stuck with us! There was a little bit of loose gravel and fresh oil on one stretch, but we hit some truly awesome roads. | ||
| Bjack |
Cereal, thanks for the invite. I would have loved to ride further with you guys, but I had a date with my 85 year old Grandma in Trenton. She's in a nursing home and I wanted to make sure I got by to see her on Monday. If I had gone on south with you all I'm afraid I would have gotten lost in the fun of the moment and not made it back to Trenton. Would have been fun, but I need to make sure I get to see her as often as I can these days. Hope to see you all some Friday at Fuell. | ||

OK Folks Listen up. I am trying to organize a ride to the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs. See: http://www.kcrenfest.com If we can get 10 or more adults, we can pre-order the tickets for $11 each. I was thinking about the Weekend of 24 September, either Sat or Sun. Ride out early. Spend 4 or 5 hours there, then ride back. So, sound off and let me know if you want to go, and which day you would prefer. I won't do this unless we get 11 firm commitments for the ride. (That allows one to bail and we still get the good price.) Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. | ||

Bill, count me out.  Tim, I ordered the parts yesterday and mine was not in stock. He said we should get them by the end of next week. If you want yours sooner, give him a call tomorrow and he will ship them separately. | ||

Hi all... The Harley-Davidson Vehicle and Powertrain Operations in Kansas City, Mo. open house is sept. 9th & 10th. Demo rides and tours of the plant. Demo sign up times 9am to 3pm. BTW... I DID see a Midnight Black Ulysses sitting in with the demo fleet of bikes.  | ||

Stopped by fuel tonight since I will not be able to make it tomorrow. Saw a black X1 with blue rims and a city X with MO tags, just wondering in anyone knows the owners. (Message edited by thansesxb9rs on September 08, 2005) | ||

Troy thanks for the great information. Though I probably won't make it up there this weekend! | ||

Hi, I'm new to the board and live in Overland Park. I just got an 04 XB12S and I'd like to meet some other Buell riders in my area and check out some other bikes. Can anyone come to the rides and meetings? Where at 119th and Metcalf does everyone get together? Thanks, Warren | ||
| Dustyjacket |
119 & Metcalf - FUELL bar and grill. Also, come to the Thursday night BRAG meeting (3rd Thursday of the month) at Gail's. Are you a member of BRAG? | ||
| Kccyclone |
Warren, welcome....We usually meet every Friday night at Fuel (119th & Metcalf)...Unfortunately, tonight is out for about 7 of us regulars, due to prior commitments....Try and make it next Friday though, we should all be ready to ride.. Larry | ||
| Whiskeytango |
Thanks for the welcome! I'm not a member of BRAG yet, but I would really like to find out more about it. As far as next Friday night is concerned, I'll be there! Thanks again, Warren | ||
| Dustyjacket |
The next BRAG meeting is next Thursday, I think, if I counted right. You can come and meet some of the folks who post here. See if you want to join. BRAG (and HOG) membership carries some roadside benefits that can be nice......... Not all the KC MOB or the "Least Wanted" are BRAG members. | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Actually Dustyjacket we all are brag members we just do not participate in the local club anymore. Welcome Warren. What is this factory tour thingy Drake is doing on Saturday? | ||
| S1lightning |
Welcome Warren, I live @ 156th and Metcalf behind new Wal-Mart (shut up Hansen), I ride every day as a means of transpertation to Blue Springs, Mo. I ride whenever I can (or when she lets me), anyway my cell is 816-918-0924 or post on here the night before you want to ride, I'll see if I can!! What color is your XB?? | ||
| S1lightning |
Never mind, just saw your profile DUH! red! | ||
| S1lightning |
Hey, Got a pocket bike fer sale, bad motor, needs work! | ||
| Dustyjacket |

| Kccyclone |
OK, heres the plan, meeting @ Overland Park Regional Hospital (435 and Quivera) 8 am... Then meeting at Gomers (99th & Holmes) 8:30 am then hittin' the factory and demo rides.... Larry | ||
| Hanses25 |
Whiskeytango the Friday night meeting place Fuel is on the north west side of the 119 & Metcalf intersection north of the Hyvee or price chopper what ever the hell it is. Welcome to the group we are a bit "disfunctional" at times but a happy family none the less...... your user name reminds me of my Army days! most of us are whiskey tango as well!!!!  | ||
| Whiskeytango |
Thank you all for making me feel so welcome! I will be there for sure next friday! I just got back from a short ride to Lonestar lake near Lawrence and I can say without a doubt that my new Buell is the nicest bike I have ever ridden! I can't wait to see all of your bikes! Thanks again, WT | ||

Hey WT, welcome. Here is a pic from the FerrisBueller ride of our little group. Not much to see, but pretty cool.  | ||

Had a nice air show over my house this morning... A10 Thunderbolts in hold pattern for the fly-over of the Chief's game... One of the benefits of living on the SE side of Lees Summit...   edited by Ferris to stack pix horizontal (Message edited by jerry_haughton on September 19, 2005) | ||
