I have been quietly waiting for months now for the lovely Illinois winter to come to an end and it seems it might finally be shoing signs of being over! I was wondering what the status on the buell homecoming would be this year. I know it was talked abou last year being the last one just hoping that isnt true since i want to go this year. If there is going to be one i would like to maybe organize a big ride in. I only live about 90 min from the factory so let me know what you guys think!

I know how you feel , winter needs to end already. we had lots and lots of snow & some ice last week. they just keep pouring salt sand and more sand over & over again all over all of the roads, to when the snow & ice melted that left alll the sand on the roads to now they loook like the beach along the sides of the road and the turning lanes in town look like a sand bar on the river, Now I'm just waiting for a couple good heavy rains to wash it all way. it's bad enough driving in my car behind trucks it's so bad it feels like my car is getting sandBlasted, dont want that on me or the bike & I dont care for turning on a half inch of slippery sands either!!


erik said(on FB) he is not doing any planning on the home coming he's to busy he's leaving the planning to the homecoming people, but he may attend if he has the time. wish I could go but i doubt it cant afford to takeoff to many days or gas, eats and lodging. but do hope the Buell homecoming continues, I am sure it will!

Had a great time last year and met lots of really great people. It gave me a better idea of how passionate of a group of riders we are. Keep this idea going! I know the guys that organized it last year will not do it again so unless someone steps up it may not happen. Some of the Southern Wisconsin could pull this off and East Troy was such a nice area.

Don't wanna break your heart but it's snowing again on Tuesday in Chicago... At least that's what weather channel says.

The only thing saving my sanity now is my dirt bike.... Mud snow and ice..... Freezing temps... It's fun but it's not Buell Riding......

F*CKING winter is right. In madison WI, and after a beautiful week of snow melting, I'm watching a mixture of snow and freezing rain fall outside. Going nuts. JUST WANT TO F*CKING RIDE ALREADY. I guess its only Feb, but still, enough already.[mad]

Our local weather guy warned us of a particularly bad spring coming. He is predicting lots of flooding. :(

I think seeing as to how I live closest to the Buell plant I will orginze a ride, BBQ at my house after. Free food and music! Maybe live music if I can get my **** together soon enough.

That would be sweet! Anyone coming from the south or east could meet up with me and a few of my friends with buells before we rode up
