Hello Ya'll,

Finally under way, we headed for Rahway, New Jersey a few weeks ago and unfortunately stayed in Richmond, Virginia for a little while. The rear end on my 2007 Dodge dually decided it had enough. After a tow back to the GREAT Colonial Harley-Davidson dealership in Colonial Heights, I called my MOST AWESOME friend Van Rayburn. "Hey Van, I need ya!" His reply was great... "I never let you down before..." Van went to my house, got in my 2003 Dodge dually and drove nonstop for about 950 miles to get us midday Friday. We drove up to Rahway and got there at about 1 am.

What makes it all OK is the staff and people at Liberty Harley-Davidson/Buell is awesome. As expected, it was a huge crowd and we made a mess of the street... It was our second show with the new team members and a memorable one... After the show, a rider from Conneticut had came down to ride for me and was amazing... He had almost NO time on a Buell but after about 2 min. in a small parking lot, he pulled off some tricks that made me believe he too could get it done.

After having a great meal with the dealership owner and family at a GREAT Italian restaurant, we got some rest and headed back to Virginia to wait on the truck. Van dropped the trailer at Colonial Harley-Davidson again and headed back to Alabama. After three days, the truck was repaired. $2650 later, we headed for Ft. Myers Florida.

The Ft. Myers event was a fun time but the weather was not in our favor. In between the rain showers, we did get both shows in. We then loaded the trailer and headed home the next morning.

The next weekend we had off and it was Regan's 4th Birthday party!!! WE HAD A BLAST!!!

SOLID !!!!! I have a complete team now..."Luke Duke" Emmons was the rider that came down from Conneticut to audition. He did a very good job and had never ridden a Buell. I flew him in for the Uke's event and he didn't disappoint.

Luke was doing figure 8 wheelies the first day, he has almost NO-Time on the Buells... and LOVES 'EM. I had CK call for a review from Nanc Ulicki and show told him it was the best show ever... Luke is now joining the show, for every show that doesn't interfere with the XDL events. He wants to ride a Buell in all the XDL events, plus the one that is now scheduled for the X-Games....

After playing Uke's, we took Luke to the airport Monday morning and headed on to Cleveland to drop the trailer. Our June 13th event was canceled too close to get another date signed...(thanks!) Home now but very excited about going back to South East Harley-Davidson/Buell for what will be a CRAZY time. They have us doing a ton of media in town and concerns me a bit because, last year, it was standing room only... Now with all the media and new show, this is gonna be HUGE!

I'll keep ya'll informed...
