Going to try to make rock bottom. Looks like weather might be clearing. Look for me. I will be the one drenched wearing a black screw it harley shirt.

Woll bike night at the museum go on tonight?

QUOTE=jkane13;13127949]It's indoors, so rain or shine. I did ride to work this morning, so I am stuck riding home in the rain if it rains. That's OK. I don't mind getting wet on the way home. I'll be at Rock Bottom around 4 or so and stay until I the beer is gone if not a bit more. I have tomorrow off, so I can stay out later and play tonight.

Delafield? Check out http://www.delafield-brewhaus.com/. The brewer there is John Harrison. I consider him the best brewer in the state. I am going camping with him tomorrow and over the weekend up near Horicon. We call it Beer Camp. Mostly homebrewers and a couple who went pro like John. He is not always there, but if you find him, tell him the Mead Horn Queen's Drone (Husband) sent you. He'll know who that is.[/QUOTE]

Just came across this thread. Did you make it out? I was at bike night at the museum - very dead compared to any other time. Must have been the threat of rain. It was actually a nice night to ride.

PS - my sig pic is across the river from the Rock Bottom.

I did make it to the museum after rock bottom but the museum also seemed very calm to me. Wish I would have know you were there. We could have drank a beer together. Who won the jacket and when did they end up giving it away? That was the thing that was keeping me there but I gave up and left. Tell me please they picked a ticket and that person was there to claim the jacket. I would hate to think they picked my ticket and I had left.

On a side note someone stole my koozie wrap and beer. Who does those things on a bike night? Not right. Guess they were thirsty and couldn't make it to the beer stand or didn't want to spend the $ for the koozie.

Yeah - wish I knew you were in town. Would have been nice to meet you.

It was a very boring night. Probably the lowest attendance of any bike night this summer. You just got lucky.

Heck, I would have even gave you my koozy to use. I was drinking whiskey that night. Did you stop by the Elijah Craig sample table? Twisted the guys arm for 3 shots and a flask.

I just went in the shop and bought another koozie. Wanted one anyways. Weird thing was I put it on the shelf in the restroom upstairs above racer cafe. One other guy was in there. I had to go quick. Didn't think much of it and went to grab the beer and koozy and it was gone. I sort of remember what the guy looked like but it wasn't worth messing with a fight over a beer and a koozie.

And what about the Willie G jacket they gave away? Did you stay for that? Would have been cool to win that one.

So THAT'S why I have an extra beer koozy! j/k

They give away a jacket every Thursday and I never stick around to see it. I can't stand hearing the guy say "winner winner chicken dinner" by the time they give away the jacket.

I saw your picture in another thread and I know it was not you. I do remember seeing you at the museum grounds though. I just couldn't stay around any longer. Milwaukee Harley was a much better time.
