no chair at Erik Buell's desk

Very encouraging report from a badwebber who rubbed shoulders in East Troy with Erik and Court recently. If the dream doesn't become reality it won't be for lack of vision and hard work

Very interesting.

Also kinda sad at the lack of bikes there, numbers wise.

I was there on Thursday at the factory.  Yes, very low number of people showed up.  Many old timers that have been coming for years didn't show.  Interest is down some, the economy is sucking, so that is likely what happened to everyone.  It will be nice to see the 1190 out racing later this summer.  The damn thing is only 370 pounds.  Whoa!

I should have gone.

You could have brought your pictures of pods.

Yes Brad, you should have gone.

I could have taken everyone to Apple Bee's

Many folks could not make it until Friday.  The race at Road America was the primary destination.  Our entire club went up from Chicago Friday morning.  This year there weren't any planed events so it was more of a freelance effort.  There were quit a few Buell's and Buell fans at the track though.
