Just wondering if I have any other Uly riders in my neck O the woods. I am in Madison County Virginia. I am lucky that all I have to do is pick a direction and have great roads all around me. Just wondering if I am the lone UlyHead around here? |

I am a previous Uly owner and I am a couple of hours away in Blacktone. My Uly was up your way several times last year. There is a black Uly in Richmond and one in Blacksburg. I still have the software if you need to pull/clear codes or get a TPS reset. |

Thanks I appreciate that. I just keep reading all these posts from the left coast and unfortunately I do not see many Buells in this area. Usually its the kids in tanktops on bikes they have no business being on or the Harley crowd (which I also happen to belong to). |

There is a red xb12 near Blackstone but other than that not many Buells. Lots of Metric and HD's. I replaced my Uly with a KLR650. I needed a knock around bike that I felt like I could tear up. T have a Ultra when I need to go far and a Sporty when I feel the need for speed and torque. The KLR is no Uly but it gets me where I need to go and it is a very capable, comfortable, durable and versatile bike. I will give you a shout the next time we ride up your way. |

The only ones' for sale were on your coast. :-) |

Hooliken - We are south of you. Keep an eye out but you are in between three active groups. The closest is the DC-VA-MD group just north of you. Then there is the Roanoke group and us C3'ers to the south. I know it won't be an afternoon ride, but we plan some bigger riders in and out of southern VA. |

Just an update....you would think that this is the first bike forum I have ever belonged to. After sitting here on a rainy day it dawned on me that Badweb might have a couple O regional forums. Just like that with a couple of key strokes I was in the right neighborhood. Just so everyone knows. If anyone wants to explore my area my home and garage are always available. I like nothing more than spending time with those that are "better traveled than myself." I live in a truly amazing part of the country to be a rider and I would love to share me stoke for it with others. thanks, Ken |

An Orange Uly and a Red Duc will be moving to the Lexington area this Fall. Stay tuned... Just a couple of weeks ago, I found out one of my neighbors has a Black Uly. He lives about 10 houses down, and due to our work patterns, it took about 8 months for us to figure it out. The Uly density in my neighborhood is now dangerously high, so it might be a good time to move. (Message edited by L_JE on June 03, 2007) |

Kc69xich, You would be another Uly in Blacksburg. I was referring to a VT guy that I learned about at Duncan Honda. Glad to know there is another one up there. Stop by when you ride through the flat lands. |
