[Skinny]

Road America..http://www.roadamerica.com/2004/races/ama/index.htm
Will be leaving Chris's early June 5, 7:00 am will meet up with ANVIL (if he is heathly yet), with his group will take up Hwy 67 to Road America. So those coming from other parts of Wisconsin can make plans were to meet up on the way. We might have to leave earlier I will post it as we get closer to that date, and we will also let you know if we do not all go at the same time where to meet up when you get to Road America. Get your tickets in advance you will save lots fo money doing it in advance
Skinny

We will also figure out where to have our Aug. meeting at this time

Skinny - what tickets should we get? What are we doing as a group that we would need a ticket to see? Salute to Cycles Parades for Sat. and/or Sunday?

Did we ever find a hotel and/or campground that we are congregating at? If a campground, I might try to find an RV rental and tow the bike up Friday night.

We going, please lets us know. I figured we would leave CRIS'S Saturday morning early morning 7:00. At this time I have no idea who and how many are even going. That is one of the hard things of doing these rides I have no idea how many X'er are going to show up. I really thing the Elkhart lake trip will be maybe 5-7 riders maybe..I think the saturday tickets right know

Last time we went up there, (2002?) I believe we had 9 or 10 bikes. This was the first time I met Tim, Riley, and Randy. I definitely think there will be more this time. We took our time getting up there, (lost a Harley on the way) and didn’t miss a thing. I would skip the bike parade; you basically ride around the track at 30MPH with hundreds of other bikes. We have until the 26th to get the advanced price tickets. I’m guessing Saturday. If you get bored watching the race (not sure how this is possible) go to hwy 67 in front of the main gate and watch the squids do some crazy *****.

One more thing, get ready to do some dirt tracking with your bike. Tim or Riley found a great place to watch the bikes hit around 170-180MPH right before they hit turn 5.

BRING SUNBLOCK!!!!

[ANV1L]

OH HELL YEA!!!! on the Road America trip!
Lookin forward to blasting up there again. T'was a great time we had. Brad and his brothers are super Cool Cats who WILL be headed up there too?
And another HELL YEA on the sunblock too!
Bring lots o money as H2O and all other liquid refreshments are priced rather...um.....uh.....high.
Tim :twisted:

[Skinny]

Place and time, we are leaving Chris's 7:00 do we need to leave earler to meet your bounce. Glad to haer from you again. Is Riley's tired a$$ going to make it, or is crew not keeping up with the BIG Guy..LOL
Skinny

[ANV1L]

Yea, we'll have to figure out a meeting spot and time yet. Rileys bike should be back together by then. (We'll see.)
I'm fine. Just been working lots. SUX being poor! LOL!
Tim :twisted:

[vtxed]

Anvil
Just sell those extra PERKS you have left and you will have all kinds of $$$$$$$ for beverages. Ha Ha

VTXED Steve

[ANV1L]

LMAO!!!!! Never thought of that Steve.
Uh.... know anyone lookin? LOL!
Tim :twisted:

[David]

Okay, I'll wait until the 24th to book any ticket(s).

I was up in Waukesha last Saturday for my cousin's graduation cerimony at Carroll College (beautiful place and school). Was in my cage, can't wait to get back up there on the X.

What we must have crossed paths when we rode to Dawgs..

[Skinny]

We are getting close to our trip JUNE 5 to Road America. We will get a chance for the first time this Year to ride with RILEY, and ANVIL we need to make this a good show and give a lot of *****, Since it will be the first time they will be on the road with us. How about it X Riders are you in. Oh maybe Rileys Scouter is not done I know he is working hard to get it ready, Anvil we need to keep him out of the Hospital. Well all have a great VTX day 8)

[DAWG]

I'm sure you all know this, Especialy the old hands who do the Road america thing every year.

When I use to Race up there. (hey Skinny :D ) There would be ALL kinds of Speed Traps.

Also On the NBC News last night, They were mentioning, What they were calling "The Boarder Wars" Between Illinois and Wisconsin State Troopers. :evil:

Just a reminder :twisted:

Bike update....

Picked up tins from pinstriper yesterday- who went out of town for the weekend before I could get them picked up- luckily- mother nature was a bitch and he hauled his family and camper back home so I could pick them up after all. (YESSSSS!!!)

Dropped my stuff off for the final shot of clear last night- luckily some circumstances left a guy workin down at the paint shop so I could drop them off- just had to help hang a few doors off a 66 for P/U in the paint booth. BUT- they said they would shoot them earlt today (YESSSSSS!!!)

Rear fender is on- rad shroud is on- electrics are DONE- intake is DONE- desmog is DONE Forwards are DONE- brake bleeding is DONE

Just waiting on front tire from HAL- should be here by now, may have to just find one somewhere else and slap it on- so I'd have an extra front metz layin around if someone is interested.

HOPEFULLY (Fingers crossed big time here) (It IS looking very good) I WILL be ready for this weekend- but barely- I'll still have to reassemble the tank and fuel system, mount the fairing outer, and fender- (front tire too- but it's very doable. Wifey and I got a sitter lined up for the weekend, so we're good to go- (IF EVERYTHING goes O.K.)

I really want to go real bad- it's our 11th wedding anniversary on Sat.- and wifey has been getting nervous about going to Colorado- too nervous- told her a good ride would settle those feelings down- been long time since bike was together.

Wherever we meet is fine with me- I'd probably just meet you guys down at Chris's.

....(Now skinny- we got to work on the ANV1L situation- I'm calling you today.)

Hi Ya Gbert,
I can all most bet it will be a long day I am not sure on the return time . just going with the flo.. We might have a change in plans it sound like one of our X Brother (ANVIL) is in a Big $$$$$ pinch and is selling his bike and will not be riding his Hot Rod up with us. I am not Happy that he is going thur this extreme without talking with us Xer before going thur this much extreme of getting rid of the best Bike he has worked so hard for..
i hope he waits untill all the dust settles and gather all his medical bills and see what the total damage is. I know all of us would help out, there is a lot of X Rider out there that would help..

I will be at CHRIS'S to see you all off. Sorry X'ers got to get the back in better shape do not think standing around all day will not be good for it. See you all Saturday Morning
